LIGHTING MATCHES BUILDING RAMPARTS

WRITTEN BY SERINS AND HASTYWORDS Broken twigs liter my kingdom’s ground Reminders of all the storms that came ‘round I wonder if you remember the beginning The days before we both started spinning There was a point where we both woke up Lighting matches to celebrate our break up These are the things we lost…

WISDOM’S VOICE

Please take some time to visit C. Burks. Thank you for your endless patience! Written by C.Burks and Hastywords Her knuckles were gnarled Much like that of an aging pine And her whispers whistled With a hollow breezy whine With missing patches of bark Resembling the scars of life Tell the tale of an unbroken…

SCATTERED WORDS

Please check out this super patient blogger, Tony Roberts, who does indeed have a way with words. Written by Tony Roberts and Hastywords I keep tripping over words Scattered upon the floor Words left screaming As you walked out the door You kept on walking. Walking.

PRETTY COMPASSIONATE

I am constantly in awe of Lizzi Rogers.  She pours words out so eloquently and seemingly effortlessly. Say that five times really fast! Her words are never just words; they live, breathe, and jump up and touch you wherever you are reading them.  I needed a post for today because another one fell through and…

A KIND WORD

My guest today is a wonderful lady with bright eyes and a beautiful smile…oh and crazy gorgeous big hair.  I asked Rosemond to write a few thoughts on compassion for me this month and her words are a testament of how naturally kind her heart is. We hear the phrase fairly often in movies or…
