Butter churn 


 

sometimes,

i avoid 

men

because

i can’t seem 

to tell

the difference 

between the candy heart

little boys 

pass out on Valentine’s Day

and the forever locket

in a good man’s 

hand

so til i get this thing

figured out

i think 

i will 

hide in a butter churn

and pretend

to be 

one of the 

three little pigs…

roll

 down this hill

and tell myself

i’m scaring 

the big bad Wolf 

away

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…

  2. Kae I appreciate the poem. I hear it as both playful and serious. You pose a good question! How do we really know the intentions of someone we are attracted to or they to us. We don’t. The only way we have hope is through intuition and prayer. Thanks and Blessings my friend Roland ☺️
