Creative Writing Challenge #17-If you could sit two opposing groups or individuals at a Thanksgiving table , who would it be and what would happen?

Most of my childhood holidays were spent just so. Family members who didn't get along well but couldn't imagine a holiday without the entire family!! The solution was to have MANY tables and make sure that those who got along the least weren't sitting at the same table. Most of the time it worked out just fine. When it didn't, we had to listen to them making nasty comments about each other.



If I purposely put two opposing groups or individuals together now, I should hope the outcome… Continue

Creative Writing Challenge #16-Write a love letter between two people who have only met once

It occurs to me that this exercise is actually TWO exercises since it is to be a letter between two people. So...



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

We have all agreed:
A good idea might be
To think about it.

Abandoned houses
Reclaimed by banks and nature.
Modern-day ghost town.

If I seem normal?
All the voices in my head
Sing in harmony.

A cascade of light
Pours down a concrete stream bed:
Oncoming traffic.

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,…

We are all haunted.
Ghosts live in our memories.
Some things cannot die.

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,

My face has wrinkles.
My feet are big; my hair, thin.
I am beautiful.

New discoveries
Await those who look for them

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…

Lights along the roof.
Decorations in the trees.
