Dazzling

The lady was sparkling, dazzling. People turned and gasped as she, Waltzed through the room so passively. The crowd was gathering so massively; The thief, acting so casually, Took no tugging or hassling, Removing the necklace so nastily. She touched her neck so absently; Her demeanor changed so vastly; She’s no longer dazzling. This poemContinue reading “Dazzling”

The Hand of Death

The first time I saw the Hand of Death, it was reaching for my sister. We had taken our father’s fishing boat out into the middle of the lake. My sister hopped out for a swim while I remained in the boat. She was wearing her lifejacket, at my mother’s insistence, and hadn’t waded farContinue reading “The Hand of Death”

Writer’s Block

Staring down at this blank page, My ink grows brittle, dry with age,Too many thoughts racing ‘round, Yet I try to put them down.Passing by, found then lost, Upside down, turned and tossed.Whizzing by, a flash of light, Briefly seen, then out of sight.Blocked and trapped in this paper cage, Staring down at this blankContinue reading “Writer’s Block”

I’m Back

After more than a year, I would certainly understand if I lost some. Sometimes losing something or taking a break from it will help you toContinue reading “I’m Back”

You Were There

It’s easy to be with someone,     When they’re on the mountaintop When happiness or fortune,     Doesn’t seem to stop. But when a fall or stumble,     Brings us to the ground, Who’s with us in the valley,     As we look around? When I faltered, when I failed,     When I cried outContinue reading “You Were There”

Fog

    Veronica leisurely strolled slowly down the aisle, checking things off her list after putting each item into the cart which, of course, had a wobbly wheel. She allowed Bryce to reach out and grab a few things as she pointed to them. She smiled as she recalled the first meal she made for EddieContinue reading “Fog”

Mother Knows Best

When I was sick she gave me herbs And rubbed Vicks on my chest They tasted and smelled awful But Mother knows best I usually like her cooking But the broccoli I detest I couldn’t get up ‘til I ate it all Cause Mother knows best I didn’t want to play with sis Cause sheContinue reading “Mother Knows Best”
