conjoined

Posted on June 12, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

we are not twins
cut from the same womb
sharing a heart

so, yes
we can live apart
without surgical separation

we can both walk away
from this tangled mess

and no one need die
from it

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    You have a pithy humor that really comes out well in your poetry.

      thank you–while I am writing it, I do not see it as funny, but when I read it afterwards the first time, that’s when I laugh.

      Odd thing, humor in writing 🙂

        I think that for those of us who don’t assume we are funny it can be a pleasant surprise (a real surprise) if what we write is funny. This is not the first time I have noticed that in your poetry. I commented yesterday on the “random/ floating bitchiness” verse (if I have the verse exactly right) which made me laugh.

          You do have it right! Awesome 🙂

          I am just thankful the random bitchiness has almost dispersed–I have not killed my family. You are right, though–I am always the last person to find myself funny.
