Virginia Lee Writes
Poetry
My favorite kind of quote or poem is one that shouts at you or cries out or whimpers. I like words with voices, so I hope you will too.
"Florida Native" is available on Amazon in paperback & Kindle
"Words with Voices: Reworked" (now ft. "Quarry") and "Kneel"
Also in Paperback and Kindle

The Paperclip
Thin and metallic,
Bent out of shape,
Holding it together
Until the bending breaks.
You want organized?
Done.
Pieces fluttering to the floor?
Not one.
But remember
Commitment is for staples.
Footsteps
For us writers
It isn't always
The words that save us--
Sometimes it's just the typing,
The repetition in clacking keys
That sounds like returning footsteps
Come back, come back
Please, I type,
Come back.
Flawed
Howling in silence
Can't hear her at all
No truths and a lie,
Never meeting your eyes,
Unable to thaw.
Feigning a storm,
Aloof, pleading squall
Ice bitch nor queen,
Can say what she means,
A nonfatal flaw.
