Mind Caviar Poetry

Rae Pater is a New Zealand poet, and has been writing poetry seriously for about a year. She was born in New Zealand, and has lived there all my life. She has three children and a dog called Bob. She's always been an avid reader, especially in the fantasy/fairy tale genre and finds this influences her poetry a lot. Writing poetry, to her, is like tapping directly into her own subconscious and writing the contents down. Reading someone else’s poetry, she thinks, is as close as you can get to being inside someone else’s head.

Pater's work has been published in three print anthologies, The Christchurch Press, and online at, Mind Caviar, WORDSPACE, Why Project, I.W.V.P.A, MiPo, Ella, Tryst, and Blackmail Press. Her work has been accepted by Scope ezine for their Women's issue. She is currently studying English Literature at Canterbury University.

Whoremoan

High heels clickin'
long hair flickin'
girls out trickin'.

Fat cat pickin's
heartbeat quickens
night's heat thickens

love’s heart sickens
don’t be chicken
wet thighs slicken.

Is his dick in?
moan and lick him
girls just trickin'.

No ovation
short duration
life is such an
education.
