Here are some of my poems that I've written over the last few years. The first one is one that I wrote for myself, while the other two were for a class. I hope you enjoy them!
The
Work of Two
Anna
Rohaly
Two
hearts braid together and form one strand,
four
eyes seek out beauty to capture and hold.
The
hands of the two clasp together in work,
the
fingers carve deep and create something new.
The
two minds form artwork which piece together
like
squares in a quilt and bright patches of color.
Their
work combined brings light to the eyes
of
the many who glance and the few who see.
Who
gaze on the work of these two simple hearts,
as
they offer their gifts to the Lord and each other.
Order
Anna Rohaly
Order
is like a carton of eggs.
The
militant rows of equal number.
The
layers of shell, white, and then yolk.
The
egg's place in a list of ingredients.
It
is the egg cooking from the outside in.
The
unanswerable question, which came first?
The
chicken or the egg?

Anna Rohaly
Monday
is bright green,
the
green of trees, limes, and hoodies.
It
is a day that warms my face but chills my heart.
Monday
sounds like a long goodbye.
It
smells like Listerine and pears.
It
tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream.
It
is the day my best friend leaves.
