in National Poetry Month, I wonder how many people have touched any poems at all. If you take a look at my poems section, I’ve been actively writing a poem a day!
Of course you can also enjoy a good poem! Here’s one of my recent favorites by a great poet, who happens to be from the UK and is female. Not that she’s only good as a female UKer, which is why I emphasized that she is a great poet first. Anyway, you get the point. Enjoy this poem by Selima Hill.
THE WORLD’S ENTIRE WASP POPULATION
This feeling I can’t get rid of,
this feeling that someone’s been reading
my secret diary
that I kept in our bedroom
because I thought nobody else but us
would want to go in there,
except it’s not my diary,
it’s my husband,
I’d like you to smear this feeling
all over and into her naked body like jam
and invite the world’s entire wasp population,
the sick, the halt, the fuzzy,
to enjoy her.
