Swamp


Inside

water drips 

out of leaky pipes

onto the kitchen floor ,

outside

broken sprinklers

overflow onto sidewalks,

sometimes 

my heart leaks a little

too

i suppose

we will have to 

eat sandwiches on top of 

past due bills

 which vine

around our shins

oblivious 

to the fact 

that 

my daughter and i are looking 

 for a trellis

too

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…
