Free+ open mic. 05/14/2018 Marilyn Flower hosted by Gary
Marilyn Flower is an active member of Alameda Island Poets even though
she lives in Oakland. Her passion for drama improv translates into a
love for performing her poetry out loud in front of audiences. Hence,
her poems are meant to be read out loud!!!! When not writing, reading,
or leading workshops, she spends her time taking classes at
Stagebridge school for performing arts, writing the great American
political satirical novel, and being the change she wishes to see in
the soul of our country.
Southern Magic
She sits on the porch eating watermelon
and when she goes to spit the seeds,
flocks of birds fly out of her mouth —
tiny green-winged hummingbirds —
with tear-shaped spots on ruby breasts,
praising the sun with iridescence.
Needles
she rarely talks,
but when she does…
poems stand up and salute.
