Lady of the Street Lamp

Good morning! A long time ago I wrote this "period" piece. I have considered it done then played with it, changed it, liked it, disliked it... Maybe some day I will be totally satisfied with it. Chuckle Probably not. Lady of the Street Lamp In the glowing circle of light From the old street lamp She... Sign in to see full entry.

Why Does Mom Shake Her Head?

Good morning. Neechi is feeling much better this morning. He seems to have found his energy again. Look out! LOL Sugar Bear is recovering nicely. It looks like a good morning for mischief and mayhem. This poem was co-written by one of my daycare children. We had a lot of fun doing it. She is a very... Sign in to see full entry.

Am I a Survivor? A story of abuse

Good morning, I intended to post yesterday but I slept in and life got in the way. This morning I intended to sleep in because I could, but life got in the way! LOL Anyway, here is yesterday's intended post. It is dark because the subject is dark. In the course of my life I work with people who have... Sign in to see full entry.

Wandering to Me

Good morning! Well, I guess I'm in the mood for some philosophy this morning. Thoughts of life and my own insignificant steps in the grand scheme of things. Still at the end of it, if I can just keep in balance; I can say with feelings of pride, pleasure and a sense of accomplishment, "What a ride!"... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hear a Song

Good morning, I guess every poet sooner or later writes a song. This is my poor, cliche ridden "somebody done somebody wrong song". I wrote it at a time in our marriage when my husband and I were ready to give up. We didn't. We're both stubborn. So the payoff for thirty years together is a cruise.... Sign in to see full entry.

Pretty Bird

Good morning, I was watching our son's budgie in his cage one day. My son had taught him to say a few words and he would sing them out when he wanted our attention. Things like "Pretty bird" and "Feed me". And I started thinking about cages and freedoms and what restrictions we put on ours spirits... Sign in to see full entry.

A Soliloquy: The Outpouring of One Tormented Soul - More flash fiction(?)

A Soliloquy: The Outpouring of One Tormented Soul The Prologue: A man struts and rants in his rage. Alone, he spouts upon his stage. He leaps! He shouts! He makes a scene. The things he says seem most obscene. Hurriedly, the public walks away, Too uncomfortable to stay, It is easier to dismiss his... Sign in to see full entry.

I Travel Not Alone

Good morning! After the emotional upsets of yesterday, I had to get myself back in balance. So far the decision remains that the puppies are to die, but another Rescue has been able to step in to save the mom, Daisy. The shelter will not budge on their policy. To add insult to injury, the rescue... Sign in to see full entry.
