pitter
patter
heartbeats
of heaven’s hopes
tiptoe
upside
down on
clouds before they
fall
like raindrops,
dive
like rainbow colored mermaids
looking
for sweet amniotic seas
fall
through angry protester’s hands
carrying
umbrellas and “We have the right to
choose
drought” posters …
…mermaids
splitter
splatter
softly
like bits of electricity
while the world
microwaves
its “good” intentions
and pours itself a Bloody Mary
the sky
grows
pregnant with soggy foggy
mermaid tears
when pitter patter heartbeats
patter.
pitter.
.stop.

Hi, my name is Kae Bucher. Thanks for stopping by.
I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south for college. I completed my bachelor’s in English at Fresno Pacific University in California, where I minored in Christian ministry. I have also had the privilege of serving as a youth pastor.
In addition to teaching special needs students and raising four children, I also studied Special Education as a graduate student at FPU. I have now been writing for over twenty years.
Recently, I have written articles for iPatriot, and I am in the process of converting my front room into a greenhouse. I like storing humor and greenery, weeds and poetry, in mental tin cans. You will find my humanitarian dreams and political leanings organized accordingly.
Feel free to dig through my buckets…
