Second chances
none here
After 23 hours
if the words
hit the page
the rage
stage
pays
to keep me
out of a cage.

Born to write. Inspired by words. I've been writing poems, short stories, and non-fiction (mostly journaling) for years, but never shared. The Poetry Marathons have brought me out of my shell. The friendships and support found are amazing!
#22
A new beginning
a new start
Now is the time
with the sunrise
to tackle
this work
#21
The suitcase
packed tightly
with treasures
some clothes
and some…
other stuff
important to me
probably not
to anyone else
my treasures
are unique
#20 Time Out
Time out
I need this
Please
Put me in time out
I will sit quietly
enjoy the time
without noise
to disturb
peace in my world
#19
Lanterns light the way
Dark nights
with lanterns glowing
showing the way
the light will lead us
#18
Cookies
chocolate chip cookies
great recipe
Makes about 8
decent size cookies
Great for late night
or early morning writing
snack
#17
Sleep?
sleep?
who needs sleep
Creative juices are flowing
words are flying
from my brain to the page.
My brain won’t stop
for even a short nap
#16 midnight
Is it late
or is it early?
the clock shows 12
midnight or noon?
I call it late
cause it’s dark
midnight
#15
Walls surround me
floors support me
and a roof over my head.
This is a house of love
love for you
love for me
and love for anyone in need.
#14
Walking my path
is tricky
It’s not straight
nor is it smooth
Lots of bumps
and curves
Adventures and lessons
to be learned
and endured
