RIPPED JEANS

A LOVELY LADY by Shane Mayabb

So… A really nice friend messaged me on facebook yesterday.  He is an old classmate from my angsty high school days.  We knew some of the same people but both of us were really fairly busy (shy) to have the heavy social calendar some teens have.  Anyway, he wrote a poem for me and I…

TRIGGER WARNING

My new duet partner is a clever one.  Our duet started with an email titled The Hastily Agreed Twiisted Collaboration.  And the next day the poem below was written.  I happen to love it and I hope all you wonderful readers do too! Written by Twiistd and HastyWords ♦ The words you speak I expected…
