LOST CONVERSATIONS

“Excuse me?” she questioned.  He had been talking for the last 5 minutes but she didn’t hear anything he said.  It’s been like that for her lately.  Phone calls missed and not returned.  Texts she means to answer but forgets.  Plans she lets fall through.  Emails piling up. Parties unattended. Dinners rescheduled.  He had just…

LETTERS IN THE ATTIC

Written by Jack Pettinato and HastyWords ♥ After my grandmother died I was sorting through her things (what to keep, what to give away?) and in a dust-covered trunk in the attic I found a letter she’d written but didn’t send.   The envelope was stained by years of dusty packed-away sins (should I unseal…

SMILE

Written by Joe Bradshaw and HastyWords Teeth revealed by lips up-curled woman, man boy and girl Muscles maneuvered by emotional triggers, a mouth full of pearls Revealing joy and happiness deep from within, that’s where they begin And when the truthful mood projects itself, it lingers for awhile Showing wrinkled crow’s feet that will never…

KILLING SHADOWS

When Shruti wants to write…we write!  🙂  Love you pretty girl! Written by A Shade of Pen and HastyWords In this maze of life, I keep seeing shadows Are people always shady or have I been cursed so? I thought you to be my soul mate and yet you crushed me deep Now, I wonder…

Written by Alexander Hicks and HastyWords Dreaming of meadows filled with dew Running among daisies and tulips too Endless springs blending into summer And birds singing both tenor and soprano My life…

EQUESTRIAN MAIDENS

Much like our last duet, writing with Too Full To Write is always a challenge for me.  The first was about Pirates and this is about Horse Racing.  I know nothing about either one.  So different from my random, free flow stuff.  While it is challenging for me it is a nice change of pace. …

THE REAL BUNDY’S

My daughter is very, very smart and she notices things.  She is also highly sneaky which scares me for when she gets older.  My husband and I are extremely honest about our feelings and the things we like and don’t like, do and don’t do.  We are very happily (for the most part) married but…

FIRST LOVE

I am stealing the pic TwinDaddy had for this poem because I LOVE it!  Hope you like the poem we wrote from the perspective of two young kiddo’s! Written by TwinDaddy and HastyWords When we were young You thought I had cooties You used to run I used to chase We both giggled And I…

HIDDEN FACES

By Alexander Hicks and HastyWords I had a dream I dove into a pool But instead of water It was shards of glass   And instead of cutting It gifted me pieces Healing the fragile Brokenness I was   The glass I jumped through Was the wall I had built To keep people away From…
