Wiffledust Creative Writing Challenge #7-"What I Didn't Do On My Summer Vacation But Secretly Wish I Had..."

Alaska. That's what I didn't do on my summer vacation, but secretly wished I had. I'm an Alaskaphile. I should probably be in a twelve-step program. I could claim my obsession is the direct result of living in a dust colored, pancake-flat, semi-arid state where the annual snowfall is measured in negative numbers. But the truth is, I have no idea where this came from. I just found it one day whilst rambling around inside my head and haven't been able to get rid of it. The closest I've been is… Continue

Something else is broke?
Nothing seems to go my way.
Murphy triumphant!

Lost

I said that I'd share the poems I wrote while in jail, well I am starting to get around to that. :P I will post three today and more later. Here's my first one.









Tears keep falling all around me

Walking through the salty puddles

They splash up and drench me

Soaked and freezing cold

I feel so lost

The sky is dark and I can't see

I'm trying to find You

I'm reaching my hand…

For My Friend

For My Friend



Every rose has its thorn, they say

I'm full of many

But don't be afraid to get too close

I can't promise not to hurt you

All I can promise is I'll try

I have a lot of love to give

The tears in your eyes make me weep

Let me hold your hand

I'll pray for you

And then I'll hold you close

I can't tell you the whens or hows

But somehow things will…

For My Son

For My Son



When your eyes light up that way

I can tell you're excited

Your face is animated

And your words come out in a rush

The joy in your voice makes me smile

It's moments like these that I love



I'm quietly read and relaxing on the couch

You're upstairs playing in a world of make believe

But somehow, you appear out of thin air

You give me…

Phases

Phases by Lillian Gaffney



In life we go through many stages and phases. It is good to take time out of your daily routine to do things that you would not normally do.

It has been my routine in life to be neat and orderly. To tie things up

in compartments, organize, put things away, make the bed everyday,…

Are you kidding me?
I have to wait until then?
Can't I do it now?

Now that I am here,
This can't be the end of it.
Where do I go next?

My life is silent.
There's nothing for me to do.
The internet is out.

Shelves and shelves of books.
Huge walls of literature.
Public library.

Mockingbirds fly by
While a murder of crows roosts.
Both will leave messes.

Aunt Pearl is using her Macbook to seek on Craigslist how she can market the spices from the McCormick old farmhouse. She is looking for jars to put up the fruits of her labor and sell them to make enough money to buy her poodle Fefe a sweater made from the sheeps wool sheared on the McCormick farm. Despite her efforts she had to resort to a circus performance on the stripper pole inside the barn on the McCormick farm. Of course when the news got out that Aunt Pearl was performing everyone… Continue

Rose is a rose is a rose.

Soul Jewels

Stars like jewels seed the sky

Blooming flowers drenching the black bed of night,

Shining above creeks and rivers and dreamers

Resurrected until the sun turns them transparent.



But you can drink them while they’re fresh

On a blanket tossed on the ground,

They… Continue

Pictures everywhere:
In shadow, light and color
And behind our eyes.

Time seeps into things;
Pausing to let it soak in,
You can feel its weight.

Tides cannot be dammed.
Time forever moves forward.
Except in our minds.

WCWC #1 Sleep is....

Sleep is when your body has said, "Listen, I have had it! I am done working for you today. You're such a slave driver sometimes, geesh. Your legs say, "I stand and walk around all day, keep you moving when all I want to do is sit. And how do you repay me?" Your knees complain about wanting to buckle. Your hands say they're going to go on strike. Like right now, while my hands are typing this; they're silently seething and thinking, "Woman, give us a break. Do you have any idea much strain you… Continue

Here's Looking at You Kid WCWC #2

Thomas: "Susie, what do you think you're doing?"





Susan: "Getting away from this place, there's too much sadness and too much bitterness here."



Thomas: "It sounds more like you're running from your problems and you that solves nothing."



Susan: "Maybe I am, but it's more than just that TJ and you know it. I haven't been happy here since I was 12. I don't belong here. When I think about the future, my future; I see city lights, people in coffee shops reading… Continue

The world is not flat.
It goes up, down, all around.
Not always your way.
