GAS Featured Poet: Arvilla Fee




 Arvilla Fee has been published in numerous presses, and her poetry books, The Human Side and This is Life, are available on Amazon. Arvilla travels with snacks, and her favorite quote is: "It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” ~ Henry David Thoreau. Website: https://soulpoetry7.com/


The Way You Waned

 

So round and full were you,

a beaming smile

upon your face,

 

the kind to wine and dine

and cast your light

around a room;

 

your gravity pulled me,

a tide so high

I lost myself

 

until you grew thinner,

then thinner still,

a mere razor

 

I could no longer hold

lest it leave a scar.


Middle-Age Monotony

 

creaking like an un-greased porch swing,

each bone protesting forward movements,

too stiff

too sore

one foot in front of the other,

one hand caressing an aching hip;

why do bodies give up so easily

when the heart is still throwing confetti

like it’s New Year’s Eve?
