The Map
You wanted my heart
You took it for a ride
Across the country side
You said you would take me places that I’d never been before
And you did
Places that I didn’t want to go
You showed me sites that were precious to you
They made no sense to me
You whispered to me to come closer so that I could see what you were pointing at
No matter how hard I tried to see it, I couldn’t
I didn’t see the beauty in the things you found fanciful
I didn’t stand in awe at the things that took your breath away Continue reading
Wetted Diamond
‘I have a dream!’
Was the great American proclamation
Martin Luther King Jr. had eyes to see what was,
What would be
And what would become
So clear
Like a wetted diamond
Sparkling
Pristine

Fire Bugs
Fire Bugs

Dancing,

Projecting memories
Of a long lost time
Youth dances and plays
In long lost magical ways
Images jerking, glitching
Black and white
Choppy in the reel
The images seem unreal
Youth playing
Energetic and free
A lifetime of moments caught
In a plastic reel
How can I see you then?
And see you now Continue reading

Stuff It Tuesday. Storetry #4 A collaboration challenge for writers and poets!
This is the fourth installment of ‘Stuff it Tuesdays!’ Time sure does fly doesn’t it!
This week came together nicely despite the fewer number of entries. I was left wanting to read the next Chapter!
Thank you so much to everyone that has participated so far. I’ve really loved how all of these Storetries have turned out!
Please watch for next weeks opening paragraph and closing poem it will be listed at the end of this ‘Storetry’ and in the tab entitled Stuff It on my main page.
Now there is more incentive to participate! I have been putting some thought into these wonderful collaborations and I think with the permission of all of those that have participated in this one and the past 3 that I may publish a free e Book, no one (myself included) would make a profit from it but that contains all of these fantastic ‘Storetries’, complete with every person that has submit to a ‘storetry’s name and blog address in the same fashion they are laid out here. These are far to good not to share and you will be ‘published’ and the ‘world’ can read your writing/poetry!! If you do not want to be included in the book I will remove your entry. I will email everyone that has participated about it when time draws nearer to publishing. Continue reading
