Poetry | April 2017

Writing in the Kiss-and-Ride Line

By Rosie Prohias Driscoll

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Determined
wrote at the kitchen table
amid the din
of pots and children.

Virginia Woolf
Visionary
demanded a room of her own.

I
Ridiculous
sit strapped into a Buick
sneaking word crumbs,
dreaming of wings.

I love the contrast of images, the last being one I could really identify with. I especially liked the phrase “sneaking word crumbs”, lovely!
