“Sticks and stones break one’s bones, but names will never hurt me.” Lies! All lies! Lies we tell ourselves Lies! All lies! I’m fantastic. When everything in my brain is spastic. ~ I’m on top of the world. When all I really want to do is stay in the bed, curled. ~ ‘Put your bigContinue reading “You’re the problem with the world”

Somedays
Some days are harder than others to find the passion that lies in plain sight to rejoice in the blueness of the sky the free songs of nature somedays you can’t see the forest for the trees the honey for the bees or the sea for the fish somedays a gentle reminder is nice thatContinue reading “Somedays”
The sky is falling?
Help, the sky is falling. Don’t look up. The sky is falling. Rain. Sleet. Snow. Hail. Help. The sky is falling. Don’t look up. Might be a satellite. Might be a chunk of rocket. HELP! Don’t look up. The sky is falling. Okay, it’s straight line winds. A tornado. Don’t look up. The sky isContinue reading “The sky is falling?”
First
Thank you to everyone that has purchased my writing. 💕 Well, I got my first notification from KDP. The e-mail came through on 9-21. If you are needing your money quick fast and in a hurry, sadly it’s not gonna happen. Or maybe since this was my first daft, it was slower? Please don’t laughContinue reading “First”

Puts humanity to the test. ~ Humanity makes things; good and bad. The good, used for bad, humanity sad. ~ Does humanitiesContinue reading “Humanities rest”
Scaring yourself; poem
Plumber in. Plumber out. What kind of leaky smells will sprout? ~ In the silent darkness of the night, odors can give quite the fright. ~ Chico; my Chihuahua and I, are down for the count. Praying the land of dreams will open like a fount. ~ My worst fears have come true. Raw sewageContinue reading “Scaring yourself; poem”
Trinkets
Been putting little trinkets in a jar. Things I think I need in my life. Not necessarily my hearts desires? Goals, longings, trinkets in a jar. Mementos, little trinkets in the jar. Trinkets, that’s all they are. Trinkets of things that will never be. Trinkets for a hearts desire? Just trinkets. Lost trinkets. Lost desire?Continue reading “Trinkets”
“Let me tell you a secret; the gods envy us because we are mortal.”
Achilles, Brad Pitt – Troy They envy us. ~ They turned us into dust. They fed off our lust. ~ They turned us into trees. Mortal men and women they begged to please. ~ They turned us into birds. They slaughtered us in herds. ~ Their toys. Play things. Just for the joy we couldContinue reading ““Let me tell you a secret; the gods envy us because we are mortal.””
