Poems by Rosemerry:

Repeat: You Are Not In Control 
But Sometimes It Takes A Long Time
Driving Home From the Restaurant, We Disagree
How to Wear Disappointment
At Peggy's Memorial

Anticipation
I want to hold for you the mirror...
The Poet Returns to Winter...
Transmutation

And When We Get to This Point
The Practical Wife Goes Shopping
For Attention's Sake
Second Chance
Standing Outside in Cottonwoods, Wind Spiraling
All I Want to Say
After a Day of Foot In Mouth, I Hear Music

Five Windows
For My Tombstone
And if I Were There

Train Spotting
The Mudslide Reminds Me

Sniff
Recipe for a Return
Of Course I Expected Good Things from My Savory Flan
My Lord, What a Morning

Dry Hope
Even if the Water is Cold
Gloss for Impatient Lovers
Dry Time

Locked in at 80 on I-70 Eastbound
Pleasure Lesson

Literally Speaking

There's what we say. Then there are the thousands of stories that swirl beneath the words. Since 1995, Rosemerry has been writing this column that takes a look at the underbelly of our language--etymologies, histories and poetics. The column is now published bi-weekly in the Telluride Daily Planet. Below are selections from Literally Speaking.

When It Rains
Clearing the Air
It's Not What You Say
Understanding The Art of Compassion
Don't Read This Column, Please
In Search of Buried Treasure
Watch What You Say
More About Now
Four More Magic Words
So How DO You Like Them Apples?
Companion
Out of the Swamp, Into the McMansion

Thinking about where your dollars are going?
Practicing the Truth of the Imagination
Need Some More Energy? Make Believe
Dear Prudence: The Fall and Rise of the Wise Woman
The Reluctant Disciplinarian: The Truth About Mothering
What Do You Say When Things Just Ain’t Right?
What’s a Metaphor For?
Oui, Si, Ja, Verdadeiramente, Da and Yes, Yes, Yes
You say Goodbye … and I say, Yep, see ya
