The following poem by Jude Aquilina from the recently published Woman Speak is typical of the way both Jude and Louise (Nicholas) cut and pin the human condition to the dissection board. Poempig suggests this is the poem every woman should read if…. well, read on.
I line the kitty litter tray
with faces of brides and grooms
smiling from Sunday’s news.
Being a recent divorcee,
it says it all really.
