The Fool

His beautiful wife left behind, the fool cheated his wife in the arms and body of another woman. She didn't give him enough space, he said. She didn't give him equal time. So he found someone who did. But lust and love are different the fool discovered. HIs beautiful wife wanted more than a lay. She... Sign in to see full entry.

Falling water falling leaves

So delicately the leaves fall in the soft autumn breeze So swiftly the water falls in spring's snow meltings Rough winds cold and wet penetrate my wool coat and leather gloves. My face aglow with red cold Tears stream down my frozen face. I huddle down against the gale. Trying to reduce the impact... Sign in to see full entry.

Golden Leaves

Golden leaves line the sidewalks carpet the grass. When it rains, they stick to my boots and walk inside the door. Gloomy fall brightened by yellow leaves. Golden in the cloudy gloom. My heart sinks I lie under the warm covers reading. I don't want to leave my nest. The telephone rings, A date is... Sign in to see full entry.

Hospital Gift Shop

I went into the gift shop to buy a gift for my daughter. I spotted some little cards and a small pot of flowers. She doesn't like me to spend money. When I saw the stained glass crosses with my favorite Bible verses, I cried. My daughter was hurting and all I could do is watch. She is very sick. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Balloons

Friday I blew up balloons, Big black ones and Big pink ones. Tied with white and pink ribbon. They decorated a party. Saturday I tried to untangle balloons, but they refused to unravel, So we wrote notes on their strings And let the whole big bundle go. Our gift in memory of Curt. The big bundle...

Namedropping

I don't know any famous people. They don't live on my side of town. But there is a name I love to mention often during my day. I love to talk about him. I love to sing his praises He's better than a husband Closer than a daughter, mother, brother of father. I've had no other lover as kind and good... Sign in to see full entry.

Rain and More Rain

I expect rain in October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June and July, but August and September are supposed to be dry. So here I sit, not wanting to go out, with the rain pouring down. Where did summer go? Sign in to see full entry.
