Bio
Writer with a block. Looking for hope. And as always, in my mind = esp the bad days = I'm gone to Carolina. How many people do you know can say in all honesty, "I really like who I am" and mean it? Because hey Mr. Monroe, I DO. Take that to the chicken farm.

PAIN/Physical/ ... 2nd attempt

 
 
Pain has many faces and parades behind many masks.
It hides quietly until you're needed and necessary and
thumps you just to laugh as you stumble.
 
Pain comes in colors and sizes some will never know, 
days seem too long and nights unbearable.
Light intolerable and noise… Read full post »

First ed. 1st poem

 
 
I passed you by the other day
without notice glance or hesitation
I stopped and watched you from my window 
as my hand reached my door and brain
said stop
 
the ring on your finger, oh wait mine too
burned into my skin as acid reminders that

Survival

Nuclear 

 

I've been watching the news more lately than usual. I'm wondering if the people who were my age in the fifties' felt as I do. Is it time to prepare for "THE DAY?" Where would I build my fall out shelter? In today's economy, many were very surprised that… Read full post »

Grace - I finally found

this is a first draft and my first poor attempt back on OS. I have missed all of you and am intimidated by the quality of writing and inspiration. You are all writers and poets and gifted. This one is for Him. 
 
 
I thought I understood what Grace… Read full post »

A Love That Will Never Grow Old

 
Sometimes, life circumstances cause us to make choices that, in hindsight, we either regret or celebrate. The ones we regret are the hardest to bear.
The people we love, and whose love is eternal, forever stay as they were when we first knew them. I've witnessed such expression in my… Read full post »

Battle of Bull Run: A Love Letter

This letter is an actual letter written during the Battle of Bull Run.

 The love expressed is touching and stands alone.

Enjoy ~~~

The indications are very strong that we shall move in a f/… Read full post »

Not MY FLAG

Wanting to Run - As Fast As I Can

This story is preceded by the lyrics of a song:

By Addison Road, called "RUN"

 

 Stoplights, breakdown, we cry, last try

Worlds collide, time to decide

Where you want to go in this great big world

Where you want to go in this great big world

Stuck here… Read full post »

LIFE is the SEASONING - POETRY - 1st attempt

Trying poetry, a bit embarrassed but heck, we learn by trying and failing and falling - RIGHT?

(some RIGHTeO's would be good to hear)

I aspire. I am trying. Writers block still in full force.

Let's see if this one fails, or leads to something really great!

I FORGIVE YOU - to mom and dad

I forgive you.

 I forgive the spankings with the hairbrush. The belt, well, that one took me a little longer to get over. What was hardest to forgive was your indifference. I pleaded with you to just listen, and nary a word was heard. I begged for some attention, and only… Read full post »

"Children Are to Be Seen and Not Heard"


As a parent, I strive to teach my kids right from wrong, good versus bad, etc.
 
I explain my life will and is not always a prime example of how to do it.
I make mistakes, daily. I apologize to those three kids of mine. I'm of the generation… Read full post »

You Don't Know Jack - Assisted Suicide

You DON'T know Jack. 

If "jack" is another name for suicide or the topic thereof, I know Jack. Met him in my twenties, up close and personal. In the days when the pain was vicious and unending, when the mere thought of being awake too much to bear, when the pain took… Read full post »

Writing forever and now, not at all

I am hoping the writers block I am experiencing will fade, and fast.

I've written since I was four years old. At 40-ish, I am standing at a wall.

The very tall wall looms over me, intimidating and nasty.

The open windows where breezes once blew into freely, the open doors… Read full post »

GRIEVING -

I began writing a post on grief.

Today is the birth date of my father. I wish every kid had a childhood like mine, and every kid had a father like mine. 

I started writing about losing him, and how I missed his presence and spirit in my life.

I began… Read full post »

It's not just about the singing

MUSIC N STUFF

 

I've thought a long time about him. It was years ago we sat and talked easily of philosophy and music and life, as if at the tender ages of teen and twenties, we were experts.

Don't Walk With Scissors. Or Other Heavy Objects.

I contemplated hot tea tonight.

Ouch. Ow. Ugh. Ooph. Ow. Ouch. 

 No, not as a natural sedative to bring on sleep.

Altho, I've popped several pain meds to try and let this burning hot searing down my head subside. The hip and leg didstract me enough to realize , "LOLOL that ain't… Read full post »

It's all about the Pennies ~~~ mostly!!


 
It's another insomniac night where pain has taken hold. Pain's grip firm and unrelenting, the tacky stuff on pitcher's hand before they pitch a ball.
 
It maddens and demands I feed the hunger , the attention it longs for. I defy it. This is me, I think, and… Read full post »
