a straightforward threefold effort for remembering and praising


Women’s History Month This Month

And we’ll see notices sliding by
As we move so fast
That is

Catching some of the words of others
And we could hold the words
And heed
The teaching
Of the cause and
Of the time

Which belong to everyone
And should out of interest meet
With
Honor attendant

Not for basic freedom
That all should breathe and without question
That in another age
Would wonder
Indeed
Why there was fuss over how we healthy
Live
To start with


Wonder Woman

There was some song about
Women and a pan
And a man
I don’t know

Hardly worth remembering
It seems to me

And then women roar
Something about
The floor
And that sounds
Sad

Since everyone should be there
Time to time
While everyone
Everyone
Should more often
Stand


Riveting Rosie

I understand there used to be debate
Over the model
And the right one
Should
Be noted

And also doesn’t everyone
All women who fought the storied
Aar at home

Both for the foreign
Fronts
And all the lines that
Took all patience everywhere

Welding
Hammering
Building the means and reason
To have home
To fight to keep that something to
Return to

Plus
The many
Many women over there

And who go
Now
To every front decided there
And here
