Two Poems
#1
St. George is on the wall
Slaying his dragon
Underneath the portrait
Of the Blessed Virgin
Lined in gold.
Outside, the traffic grumbles as it goes by.
#2
Hannah is in the kitchen
In her red dress, cooking
With Marlene
On the dirt brown floor.
St. Joan in the window
Looks down on them and smells
The onions and sausage
Frying in the pan,
Heating the afternoon.
St. George is on the wall
Slaying his dragon
Underneath the portrait
Of the Blessed Virgin
Lined in gold.
Outside, the traffic grumbles as it goes by.
#2
Hannah is in the kitchen
In her red dress, cooking
With Marlene
On the dirt brown floor.
St. Joan in the window
Looks down on them and smells
The onions and sausage
Frying in the pan,
Heating the afternoon.

I like them, especially next to one another, but they do need some work; they seem somewhat incomplete, I think, especially St. George.
