My Estranged HUSBAND

Yes, I am married to a very strange man. We have not lived together for 2 years. He chooses to live a very different lifestyle. My beloved is truly a gypsy. Even today he is living in a home where he has bought time. In approximately 2 weeks he will be on the street again with 5 dogs and 4 cats. Currently he is living there with no electricity or water. Althought he tells me I'm the one living wrong and working for the MAN! at least I am now living in comfort unlike himself. I love this man and… Continue

Does the air look green?
Suddenly my eyes water.
Oh. Em. Gee - Dog fart!

One of my favorites...

Small in stature he is a charming ball of energy with the biggest brown eyes you have ever seen.
The eyelashes on those brown eyes are amazingly long. If it were not for such charm and pure talent he probably would not be where he is today. I am sure he is very thankful that he is.

A dark and gray day.
No stifling heat, with maybe
A hint of winter?

Just things in a box;
Stuff forgotten until now.
Reclaimed memories.

No one really fits.
People have curves, boxes don't.
Don't force me in one.

My brain is tired.
It has decided to quit.
No haiku tonight.

My beauty is green.
Beauty is rarely painless.
Ivy up my spine.

My cheeks are burning -
Sunscreen, hat and long clothing
My face is still red.

I am sad today.
All the deaths nine years ago -
Now political.

Creative Writing Challenge #9 - Did 9/11 Change You?

I'm going to cheat a bit on this one and add a blog I wrote a year ago on the anniversary. For one, I hate that the media will drag us all through those dark hours over and over and over as if the grief of the aftermath of that day weren't enough or none of us can remember and need to see it all again in order to recall it. I so wish they'd find more positive ways to honor those who died and those who must live on. And too, I think the question is a bit odd. How could we NOT all be changed…

Movie or TV?
I need some entertainment!
Free TV it is!

Raining Cats and Dogs

Quite literally, it has always seemed to rain animals at our house. Little ones, mostly. Of all types. Squirrels, various birds, snakes, lizards, rabbits. And the occasional cat or dog. Not that they fall out of the sky. But they might as well. They fall into our laps.



Usually it's been one of the kids finding some critter that fell out of a nest. Or that they somehow came home from school with. Like the crawfish. And the bullfrog. And, of course, Treasure the Chicken. Who lasted a few… Continue

My feet sometimes stray
From the proper path because
I look at the sky.

I wish I could sing
And make music with my voice.
I can make people laugh.

More rain and more rain.
Maybe it will continue
For forty more days.

Creative Writing Challenge #8 - Five Sure Things

Dear Younger Person Who Thinks You've Got It All Sussed Out,

You don't. That's the first thing I know without a doubt as I look back over half a century of living. Until your knees start to crack when you walk and your back aches even when you've just gotten out of bed and your bladder won't hold half a beer for as long as it takes you to walk to the head and you really can't read the fine print and the thought of biting into a firm, crisp, green… Continue

I've become the first repeat

Haiku Buckaroo!









(I have won the coveted Haiku Buckaroo Award from My Mommy's Place in the 7th Haiku Buckaroo contest. And in the interest of full disclosure, I won the 1st ever Haiku Buckaroo contest, too, and have not entered since… Continue

Little Girls

I wrote this next one after watching & listening to so much drama in our pods. It was pretty sad & pathetic actually, but the truth of it is; it's all very real on the outside too. It was just more concentrated on the inside with no where to get away from it.



Little Girls



Over eight-teen and grown

We know the rules

Taught how to act

Please, excuse me, & thank you

Common sense, respect, &…
