Bare naked me

I can think all day about the rhyme Yet nothing will come until it's time I toil and chore and choose the word But when I sit down it seems absurd Then the words flow right from my heart Intuition says, "Time for the next part," My fingers reach for the next key And when depressed it's a surprise to...

The irony of it

Should I imitate your misery Sigh and grunt and frown? Do my smiles make you angrier, Should I pretend that I am down? I will not let you take my laugh My happiness is key The positivity that I feel Is not for you, but me There is no reason here and now To whine and piss and moan We're here to do a...

Kitties

These are recent pics of the kitties-Titus on left, Spaz on right. They certainly don't pose, but you can get an idea of how much weight Spaz lost because Spaz used to be a pound or so heavier than Titus. Hopefully he'll gain back some of his weight soon! Sign in to see full entry.

Spaz's plight

We just got the call, my cat does have diabetes. I'm waiting for my husband to get home so we can go learn how to give him the insulin injections. I'm upset that its going to be something we'll have to keep an eye on for the rest of his life, but at the same time I'm relieved just to know what the... Sign in to see full entry.

My santuary

Pelting rain assaults the pavements Brutal winds bend the palms in half And throw oranges mercilessly at the fence Gray skies glare angrily down It seems the gods of nature are at war Ω Looking out from a warm dry window As the torrents slosh the other side A feeling of security, coziness, serenity...
