Flow
Write. Just write. Don’t think what’s on the page. Don’t let the pen stop. Just write. Get it out. Whatever it is. Whatever you’re holding back. What you’re trying to hide. Write it down. Don’t let the pen rest. Don’t think of what you’re saying. Do this for your best. Words on the page, helpContinue reading “Flow”
Alternate You
Describe your life in an alternate universe. In an alternate universe, I’d have given into pressure. In an alternate universe, maybe I have found treasure Whatever the universe, I’d be on a different path Probably the one I’d pick last Maybe in one, I’d be a lot stronger But in another, I’d be no longerContinue reading “Alternate You”
Heated Dawn
Bolts of lightning flash through the thunderhead on the horizon. The early morning is painted a desert blazing hue, but the storm marches forward with thundering blues and heavy grays. A bolt of lightning dispels the colors in pinkish light, yet vanishes a second later. Across half the horizon, the storm lays its claim. AtmosphericContinue reading “Heated Dawn”
Heart of American Marching Band
I was going through old school stuff the other day and I found this former story I wrote. Based off true events. Please excuse the writing. I was but a wee freshmen. 09/30/10 “The band with the highest score in the 2nd division is!” The announcer’s voice boomed over the stadium. Nikki squeezed her friends’Continue reading “Heart of American Marching Band”
Was today typical?

I was going to get things done. Then, around 9 o’clock a curveball big enough to fit in the palmContinue reading “Was today typical?”
Willowtrix; Reason to Dream
The sun sank low over the little village of Tree Garden. Willowtrix flew down the forest path a little lower than normal. Today sucked. He couldn’t shake the bitter self doubt that weighed his wings. It had been just another day working the Apple Orchard. Another day picking apples with his best friend, Vinifree. Yet,Continue reading “Willowtrix; Reason to Dream”
Oreo’s Poem
If love kept you alive, you would live forever. I’m not ready to say goodbye.Not now, not ever. If I had my say.You wouldn’t go away.You’d stay healthy and strong.And be right where you belong. You wouldn’t get leaky.You wouldn’t get creaky.You wouldn’t grow gray.Or start welcoming the grave. We’d have many more cuddles.And lotsContinue reading “Oreo’s Poem”
The Forest
Have you ever looked up through the trees And saw the way the light dapples off the leaves? Have you ever been out on a stroll And felt the breeze as a gentle roll? A forest path. It’s own magic world. With glimmering pebbles shining like pearls. The towering trees. So sturdy and strong. StandingContinue reading “The Forest”
Let Yourself Rest
Laying in bed Thinking of too many things Bunch of thoughts in my head Of what the days may bring Need to do this Forgot to do that Find a moment of bliss Like a rabbit in a hat Take a moment to sit And puzzle out thoughts Am I a good fit? Or isContinue reading “Let Yourself Rest”
