I need more dream time.
My pillow misses my head.
Is it bedtime yet?

Wiffledust Creative Writing Challenge #11 - What one lyric speaks to you when nothing else can, and why?



This lyric is a gentle reminder to me that it's ok to be human.



----------



"Sometimes, even music cannot substitute for tears"
- Paul Simon, The Cool, Cool River, Rhythm of the Saints.





The power of music is strong. It's a fact. It's not always clear how or why these sounds affect us so much, but they do. People associate times and… Continue

White noise from gray road
Blocks out many distractions.
I can hear myself..

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.

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

Wiffledust Creative Writing Challenge: Sleep Is...

Sleep is...



all mine. It's when I stop. Breathe.

Say no to the bad and yes to the good.

What I say goes.



Sleep is when I feel the comfort of the duvet on my bare skin

as the comfort of the universe

scooping me into a maternal hug.



It's when the slowed rhythm of my slumber

synchronizes with the innate purr of my furry friends.



It's when I lay open with my love and he with me,

aligning our forces to face the coming day.



Sleep is… Continue

Affliction

As I lay in the darkness of another man’s bed, thoughts of you invade every fiber of my being. I try to push you away but don’t have the strength. I attempt to pull you closer but you escape my desperate pulls.

Seeing you was both thrilling and excruciating. Betrayal and love catches in my

throat and refuses to abscond. The dark, skeletal hands of memories grab

endlessly at me as our soundtrack of passion and bitter disappointment…

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.

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…

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

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.
