When You Gotta Go
copyright 2010 by Rick Reiley
Dig my grave, make it shallow
Heck just lay me on the ground
Clear a path and play the fiddle
And then dance all around
I have had a good ride
So carry on with the show
I'd just as soon stay here
But when you gotta go -you gotta go
(Chorus)
When you gotta go-You gotta go
If you're gonna get there on time
I hope to see you later
In the afterglow… Continue

Creative Writing Challenge #16-Write a love letter between two people who have only met once
Sweet Libby,
Driving away from you was like ripping out my heart. I tried not to look back but my eyes wouldn't stay on the road and the sight of you standing in the doorway, so alone, was like a knife in the gut. I wish I had been stronger and left when you were still sleeping so I didn't have to see your tears and know I'd hurt you so much. I never wanted to hurt you.… Continue

Oncoming traffic.

Decorations in the trees.
Christmas in the yard.

Footprints in Snow
People have walked their dogs here,
there are footprints in the snow
made by human feet, or rather
by the boots or shoes they wear,
and parallel to them,
rows of pawmarks, fore and hind,
left and right,
each dent followed by a slight drag;
some are dainty, as from a matron's yorkie,
others grand, a shepherd's,
rottweiler's, or lab's.

Off at an angle, zigzag,
here,…

Memo To Accounting From Wallace Stevens
She is a ghost, Now.
A chilling slice of wind that curls
around the hairs of your forearm.
Refusing to leave in such a fashion,
She is a ghost.
Taken not by the disease
that wracked the body,…

On the tip of one finger…
She has been cupped in madness’…

"Can you take me to bed now?

Final Breath
Solemn vows of tempestuous light
Overshadowed by songs of time
A place where the rain falls softly
On crimson roses fallen behind
The kiss of dew set upon the green
A vision in the warmth of a fire
A guardian covers the sky with clouds
Granting hearts with care's desire
Pathways to tread drowned by the sea
A forgotten past that closed with your eyes
Breathe your last existing… Continue

Stop at the stairs leading up

SNAFU
Something is missing.
Although I hear it is right,
It feels very wrong.

When did craziness descend?

Prettier
Your skin is translucent, like fine china
I can see just far enough to discern your names,
To feel the spear-tip anger that built your fortress.
I wish I were prettier.
Not just better than the thieves and grifters…

Being You
Being You
You being you and me being me,
I often wonder what it is that you see.
What is it you like?

Wiffledust Creative Writing Challenge #10-Physically describe your favorite movie star!
He was The Little Prince, with hair “the color of gold” and a laughter that bounced from the stars. Like The Little Prince, his eternal curiosity drove him to explore and ask questions, ignoring boundaries imposed by adults who didn’t understand. This could be seen in his searching eyes, reaching up through raised eyebrows as a child looking to his father. Occasionally his unearthly wisdom betrayed his youthful persona, revealed through a… Continue
