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…
