Lilacs


Why would i linger on the edge of a nervous night arguing 

about 

lanterns and gin playing over murky gurglings

where shadows pull polliwogs out

by the roots of their hairs 

chanting

of course,

there will be no lilacs there

when 

i could be here 

with you

and spring and buttercups and 

sugar cubes and cafe au lait streams

and of course there will be lilac 

dreams

and 

little daisies floating in our teacups when we wake up

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…
