 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

Read with interest Muslim girl's annual picture
Posted with the first name Issis
Not her real name used
Remember my own annual post
My name misspelled and underneath
Dumbland---not done by accident
The Queen and her court being funny
"The boy most likely not to succeed"
The queen who I asked to the prom
Her answer--It hurt---! for years
I was afraid to ask girls out
"You are the last person I would date!
your Dad a drunk and your house windows boarded up."
Yet I still have the Annual
As life went on and I married bought my first home
It sat high on a hill looking down on her trailer court
Married and divorced three times she was penniless
She died very young abused
No longer looking like a Princess an alcoholic
All my Grandchildren college graduates or well be
What posted in my high school annual is nothing
Posted under her picture the Queen
Most likely to marry a King and live in a castle high on the hill
I overlooking her domain
Guess who posted her picture?
Amongst her accomplishments
Class President Annual staff and class Queen
Mine: Basketball team and class clown
I Broke the cycle of alcoholism
and first family to go to college
First to serve my country in the Airforce
Careful who you insult as the world turns
