“star spangled banner“

sung before every
civic event,
it serves
to inspire
and uplift all
within sound
of its magnificent
messages

it came
into being
at the hand
of a man
who stood amid the
raging battle

writing
poetry

*****

Homeless until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ this poet presently lives under perpetual threat of towing with all possessions should her 23-year-old van stop running for any reason.

She is badly in need of a modest reserve with which to field any emergency which might occur.

Donors may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S. It does take several days for the poet to be notified of your patronage.

Thank you for reading, and may your holidays be happy ones.
