I CAN’T SING

When best selling author Allie Burke sent me this post she gave me hope.  Whether it is her character, personality, the way she was raised, or her attitude regarding life, Allie, has given us all hope that it is possible to live a bully free life. While there will always BE bullies I have to…

TRIALS FELL FROM THE STARS

I know…this isn’t a duet. It was a duet but I re-wrote it this morning so I could continue to publish on schedule. I hope you enjoy. Written by Hastywords Trials fell from the stars Before my glistening eyes They landed hard and fast Before a focus could be set I sat watching, hopeful That…

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…

A FAMILY IS…

If you had asked me 3 years ago if I would ever risk meeting someone I had met over the internet I would have said, “are you mad?”  How do you know who is on the other end of the screen?  They could be psycho-vampire-killer-monster-zombies! But now? Now I would say I think I have…

BLEED MYSELF INTO WORDS

I have written with Joshua Stewart several times and each time it has been quick and easy.  Sometimes writing styles and emotions just come together effortlessly. In fact, I think he is pretty much the male version of me. Today, I would like to give you guys a chance to get to know him a…
