Round is not a Pregnant Shape, a poem by Peter Menkin
by Peter Menkin For about 8 years I worked off and on at the department store Sears on a part time basis.It was mainly on. A few poems about observations while on duty as a sales clerk were written. Herewith, a poem from 2002 on what I saw at Sears. Round is not a Pregnant Shape by Peter Menkin Three pregnant women last night at the store. Each carried her self, proving round is not a pregnant shape. I watch the pregnant women as they shop, and walk, move about with children or alone. This is part of my store duties, I tell myself: Pregnant woman watching. There are ovals, and mountains, abundance, and full. There are heavier, and moving, ripe and blooming. Some are a little bit more. Amid this there is something new, alive, awakening to two and wonderment moving towards birth. Peter Menkin, an aspiring poet, lives in Mill Valley, CA USA where he writes poetry. He is an Oblate of Immaculate Heart Hermitage, Big Sur, CA and that means he is a Camaldoli Benedictine. He is 64 years of age as of 2010. Copyright Peter Menkin http://www.petermenkin.blogspot.com Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
