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. I was left with a mess of scattered words.…

LITTERED PATHWAYS

  Written by Christopher Rupley and Hastywords This night feels so angry and uptight, with air almost too dense to breathe and the stars seem much more distant as I stand pondering my new reality The salty moisture in the air invades the pores of my flesh, taunting me, showing me simple yet consistent pain,…

The day before Valentine’s Day Christopher and Benjamin started this poem.  Each new person added a few lines until a complete poem was created.  I love it and I hope you do too.  I am glad I got to participate and I am sorry it took me so long to post. 🙂 A Tangle of…

THE KITTEN OF COMPASSION

David Ellis and I have written a few duets together Destination Destiny   Seductive Nature    Perfect Imperfections   Seafaring Scallywags and Equestrian Maidens .  Not only is he a master with words he is way smarter than I am (and that isn’t me slamming myself…he is just that smart).  He is often the first one I notice…

LET ME FEED YOU SPOKEN WORD

I get to showcase two incredibly talented people today.  Lizzi with Considerings and Samara with SamaraSpeaks.  Samara is showcased in this post in a round-a-bout way but I am crossing my fingers that one day she will write something for this blog directly.  However, in the meantime you will see a glimpse of her as…
