Two Poems from our Sisters Poetry Collection

 
 
CONSENSUS
   
Author: Lee Emmett
   
Poem:
CONSENSUS
   
  got a phone call, think
‘someone wants something!’
have become guarded
used to be trusting

younger sister
suggests coming over
visited her earlier
more to discover …?

got family photos
she wants to see
‘maybe sort and copy’
too quickly agree

arrives after dinner
to front door comes
remind her other sister
may also want some

‘need to negotiate’
insist three present
open communications
then can’t resent

to reach consensus
meet tomorrow, her place
with other sister there
discuss face to face

SISTER
   
Author: Mercedes Maclay
   
Poem: SISTER
   


She falls into the steps of mine
And trips upon my heels.
Shoo off! Be gone! Away you go!
I yell to her in fear.
She looks up at, the face of mine,
Her tears show me her pain.
In there, her eyes, I see myself,
when I was young like her.
I see my wrongs, my shames, my flaws,
and hope for more for her.
So I, I push, I shove, I shoo,
Her from the path of mine.
But I can't hurt, My love, My friend.
My heart, it calls for you.
And I, can't help but hold the vow,
to show you how to live.
Now see, sister, I give my word,
To hold, protect and fight.
