A Story Where

A story where I write about you, but you’re covered in changes. With enough rearranges, That someone could believe, At least, a bit more than me. A story where I write about you, but as tiny rabbit. Hit by a car, truck, or train. And all I can see is the skewed View from the […]

– Poem 4 – Gloves

Long thin tail, dark corner Lift the cardboard Small rat, not moving Muddled brown Frown at swarming flies and accompanying smell Death reigns, dried blood Burnt sienna Plastic shopping bag glove Grip on the rat Slough of skin, plop of muscle nut-brown New glove: Tawny rat puppet Poem 4: Focuses on repeating a single color […]

Sweetie Pie

Can you believe it? A perfect little fluff ball all curled up, purring in my lap. She’s the most wonderful, soft, cuddly, tiny sweetheart ever. Such a good Kitty. Hey, let me see her! It’s my turn! No, stop. Let go! Ow! Bad Kitty! Mom! Girls. Calm down. Kitties can be both. Good and bad […]

Musical Dreams

Oh how I long for a romantic song Not about co-dependence and lack of boundary keeping. Make it mainstream With thoughts for the teens To ponder Perseverate And perhaps inspire change. Communication and owning what’s yours Admitting a wrong and forgiving. A new world will begin One we wish we lived in But never realized […]

LUW Fall Conference

Attended my second writing conference ever. The place was overflowing with amazing authors, editors, publishers, experts, volunteers. I met so many amazing people.

I’m lucky to have met you.” See the difference? […]

Why Write When All This Shit Is Happening?

I haven’t been writing. I’ve actively avoided it. Because Writing, focusing, fretting about little things in my life when all of this horrible shit is happening seems to me to be a waste Of TIME I tell myself, “write. write. write.” Why? “It keeps you sane.” But it isn’t important when so much hate has been released […]

Please

More than 10 people died this year. I wish you’d pay attention to that instead of someone that was in a movie that you liked when you were little. Countless moms, dads, brothers, sisters, friends were lost to us. People who loved. People who mattered. People who changed the world. People that deserved more. Deserved […]

Dream Writing

I had a dream I wrote a poem. Inspired and fluid. Excited, I stopped to read it. To relive what I’d done. Realizing as I searched that it was gone. Never here really. Just penned in my sleep. Vertigo. I remember. Earnest. True words. And connection. A shared meaning understood. Bright blue electricity snaking. Images […]
