My poem of the day!

Where did all of this come from?

What I should say and what I won’t say mingle.

The words converse and echo

They yell and they scream

Damn words!  The storm brewing in my head… raining down.

I cannot make this stop.

No shelter for my self-induced storm.

This too shall pass?

Doubtful.

Indecent prospect I fear

Wishful thinking

Shameful thinking

Run the wheel down

Make it turn no more!

Infatuated

Curious

Confused as hell!

Poetry Prompt #145 (and I am late as usual)

August 17, 2011
For this week’s prompt, write an escape poem. The poem could about someone or something that is thinking of escape, has escaped, or has lost someone or something that has escaped. And remember: Escape can be a physical thing but also emotional, psychological, etc.

My VERY late attempt at the escape poetry prompt. August 17, 2011

Eggshells crack as I walk through the house

Tension forces a web around me.

Cutting through all of the bullshit

With a knife is near impossible

Escape reality

Escape today

Return tomorrow anew. 

Converse in time

Lay it on the table

Toss out the meaningless

Trash what remains

Escape

Breathe           

Go forward.

New Deadline

I HAVE A NEW DEADLINE!!!!  I will (yes, WILL) complete my ebook by October 10, 2011.  The signficance of this date lies within the fact that it's my wedding Anniversary.

What has taken me so long?  A funeral. A flood. A wedding.  Kids.  Mother-in-law.  Life. 

I am so excited and cannot wait to finish my compilation.  I hope you - if you're out there - enjoy it, too.

For now... I am off. 

Untitled poem

The light shining through the darkness

Cutting through the fog

Reminds me that not all things are cloaked in darkness

The cold – near frigid – air is crisp

As if promising to change

To caress the sunlight and warm my insides

The stillness of the morning

The frost on the ground

A serene moment of clarity
