IT’S COMPLICATED

  I understand some people being so angry they are having a hard time wanting to move forward. I read a lot of fear and sadness and hateful posts and I get it. It’s emotional. We have a lot at stake. I don’t judge you for it and I’ll never say “just get over it”…

FIGHT FOR LOVE

Dear daughter: You my love Are a woman And that means You will be told things Some will be true And many more will not The only thing You must do Is to find yourself Who are you? What you stand for? And know you are strong That you have options And when you don’t You get creative…

FUMIGATED

Some seriously talented guys wrote and performed this. It inspired me to write poetry. I hope you enjoy them both. And maybe share the video for me so they are inspired to create more fun stuff for us.  Let’s just take a break from the election stuff and laugh for a bit. 🙂 Innocent space Opened…

LOVE IS FOUND

Written by: Hastywords And this is my blog 🙂 We look for love Inside lines And rows Of prose And poetry It speaks Beautifully Fluently In many languages Sometimes lyrical And often in rhyme Eloquent words Strung passionately Across the wires Caressing the heart Feeding the soul But it’s only fuel The match waiting To…
