The Writer's Way

Words flow from her fingers
like the notes a songbird sings
With those words, she paints for us
haunted hallows and broken wings.
Images showing pain endured
and obstacles all lives bring

She creates beauty and wonder
and worlds of...

Time Flies When Your Having Fun with Children

Who is it that you’ve become?
I closed my eyes just one time
And you shot up by at least two feet
Now you’re a familiar face filled with moody angst

What kind of sick trick is this?
I closed my eyes for just one second
And you dare ditch...

The Hunt

The forest at dusk is a prison of shadows,
souls fleeing with hearts beating in panicked flow.
The trees are bars, trapping us in a hell that lingers,
their branches reaching out like gnarled fingers.

The birds’ cries have become our demise,

Foundation

I am government cheese
Spaghetti-O’s with peanut butter
and a glass of Kool-Aid, please.

 
I am trailer park life
humble and friendly,
with a will to survive..

 
I am the grassy field
where all are welcome to play
the fun, my knees...

Going Home

Dark thick ashen musk,
cozy and familiar
A dozen loves packed so tight,
one must go outside to change his mind
Making the most of the few moments
stolen in the name of unity

Chatter commotion and cachinnation
bulging at the seams,

I could feel the deafening silence between the fighting couple. It was unbearably loud. I loved how I was at that breakfast table with them.

The personification of death as a cat is so wonderful. The cat-like behaviors picture perfect in my mind.

Thank you so ver much. I wanted to highlight how the dread of family gatherings (in my case the smoker must) is easily forgotten when everyone lets loose and starts to enjoy the time together.

Absolutely beautiful. I am a real sucker for good alliteration and this takes the cake- "far fled from all favor"

You hit the nail on the head there. November first hits and Christmas music starts then, BOOM, it's Christmas eve and I haven't wrapped a single gift yet.

You are too sweet. Thank you for your kind comments. I'm still learning a lot about being an effective writer, but writing about what weighs my heart and mind seems to be a good way to resonate with readers. I hope to learn from those more seasoned than I to excel even further. Feedback definitely helps with that!

The poem perfectly sums up the reasons many question the mere existence of a God. The questions arise about existence, however, because none of us are God and could never understand the full scope of what that role would be. It's easier to question that existence than to consider all angles of all things, especially things we don't like (like good people dying too young).
