3 Poems by Wanda Morrow Clevenger

duplicity

observe the swollen dame swarmed
by her pets given pet names;
perfected duplicity

observe how is readily rendered
an endless supply of royal jelly


braggarts

this one is for
the boys
with names
dead in the water

alongside
their
beer bloated
cock & bull


truer lie

abandoned memory
brushed under the elegant oriental
is the truer lie; flawed disguise
