STROKE BE LIKE
seeing stars
Bright as
Night
Meteor
Stuffed sky
perforated
like
Perseid-pierced
August
nights.
STROKE BE LIKE
Grunion
running
to sea
coming Fast,
Dash
Right past
Me
on the floor
staring forlorn perhaps at the
door.
STROKE BE LIKE
. . .
. . .

TP-a
Maybe?
We’ll see.
STROKE BE LIKE
Paralyzed.
Aphonic.
One eye blind.
Agraphia.
Drooping.
Aphasia.
STROKE BE LIKE
Therapy:
speech,
physical,
occupational,
pool,
psychological &
psychiatric.
All in one day.
STROKE BE LIKE
days, months, years
a
Slow Death
with
Nike Shoes
waiting
for
Comet
HALE-BOPP.
My name is Leanne Howard Kenney. I am a former speechwriter and press secretary for former San Diego City Councilmember current San Diego County Supervisor, Ron Roberts. I am a former Sportswriter. A former political writer. A former public relations copy writer. A former newspaper reporter. A former . . . Apparently, I am a former writer. Well, that is not quite true. I have been writing poetry on my own for quite a while. And, I have been writing the odd article here and there for my own and my friends' pleasure for years. I started posting my poetry approximately a year ago. Where they came from, I know not. I am just glad they came. I hope you enjoy what I have to say.
