Poetry inspired by “Thank You M’am”

Remedy for his life is what he needs.

Ongoing poverty and bad behavior for him.

Great things in his future if only he tried.

Eager to have a better life and buy blue suede shoes.

Regretful that he did many bad things to so many people.

~Kelsey Philipps

Roger

An original haiku by Grace Kozurek

I only can steal,

To get anything I want.

What will happen now…

Poem

I was perfectly fine

then I became mad

someone tried to steal my purse

whats wrong with that lad,

so that evening I took him under my wing

I frightened him so he would remember Mrs Jones

like a dog would remember a pile of a 1000 bones

I explained to Roger why I'm doing what this is

and i didn't get all up in his biz

I gave him ten dollars

and I was part of him like magical powers.
