ROMANTIC EMAILS

    Sooooo…lately my husband is trying to be more supportive and romantic and…ummm… poetic.  To my surprise I got a series of emails today. Each email I turned into a different stanza below.  He didn’t intend for it to become a post on my blog but…it was just WAY to romantic to pass up. …

TAMING THE HEART

This is my second duet with TwinDaddy…aka Stuphblog and he has blown me away.  I have yet to find someone who hasn’t had poetry in their heart.  I love duets because poetry is like a puzzle of words just waiting to be solved.  TwinDaddy may have just found his true calling!  Check out his blog…

ANOTHER FREE FALL

FINDING SOLITUDE

Sometimes the sunshine is hard to find metaphorically.  This girl is the sun in my life and I am so glad we found each other.  I love you Miss Jen!

HIDING FROM ME

Written by Stuphblog and HastyWords   Distress strolls down my street Kicking cans to the curb Looking in all the windows Trying its best to find me I attempt to find refuge A place I’m safe from its clutches I withdraw deep into myself Despair nips at my consciousness How did I allow myself to…

WORDS

My first duet with Shackled and Crowned.  If you haven’t seen her blog I urge you to visit.  I enjoyed writing this piece.  “It doesn’t matter if you and everyone else in the room are thinking it. You don’t say the words. Words are weapons. They blast big bloody holes in the world. And words…
