Composed 11/9/17
Description: Inspired by today’s Daily Prompt: Gingerly.
With you there’s only eggshells
For you are an electric fire
Any prodding emits sparks
Water begets electrocution
Discussion – only more smoke
More tears
I fear
So I just bury you in sand and walk on eggshells
So oft I’ve tread these paths
Most times I don’t even feel
Composed 4/20/16
Description: For Day 20 of NaPoWriMo. I tried to stick with what I did last year and write something befitting of this particular date.
Today I feel like I shriveled up and died
So give me a Viking funeral
Blow me away
And watch me fly
Composed 3/24/15
Description: A common frustration.
Some pluck time like frozen roses
To set that night at the dinner table
Some prized, some poisoned
Admired, analyzed, later addressed
Preserved or left to die
I wish I could remember to
Stop and take the time
To pluck or rose or lily
Instead of rushing by
Because the table seems so empty
When I come home at night
Like I’ve not lived the whole day
It’s numb, it’s
Gray
