POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm steadily learning while slowly gaining moving ever forward one step at a time👣
Flight
Quick of hit
Crack of skull
Stars of light
Blood of drop
Slip of tear
Wave of fear
Ash of flight
Crack of skull
Stars of light
Blood of drop
Slip of tear
Wave of fear
Ash of flight

Hey o'l blue eyes
is this better way
over here
is my silence worth
more than
it's weight in gold
Knowing damn
well after twenty
eight year's of
redundancy
my gold is
naught but fools
gold in your
eyes alone it's
worthless
"Could you just
shut your fucking
mouth for once
in this
godforsaken
marriage"
finally I snap
Disdain glaring
dislike from
raging sea's of
blue violent
riptides
drowning me in...

For Those Who Critique
Three year's ago
lacking any skill set
I became a member
reading not writing
was more my thing
A lover of expression
I enjoyed turning
ordinary words into
the extraordinary
never knowing most
considered this a talent
Crafting flow
or rhythm truly
puzzled me no I
definitely wasn't
gifted
Anonymity allowed me
the freedom to relax and
explore my writing and
soon my confidence grew
Feeling quite ill after
posting a few deeper
and darker depths I
debated...

Four Plus One {overhaul of growth. Final Edit 5~3~2018}
Overhaul of an older original. Check out RevolutionAl new comp seeing if you have evolved.~
Who is she
Who am I
Who are we
We are the deepest purest form of
insanity
We are the army of four plus one
Winters bitter freeze flowing nourishment along her empty veins
Devoid of all emotional connection
ICE is the gatekeeper
Unwavering
Spring loaded
Raring to go
Standing guard over one and all
Forevermore
Sleek in felines grace
Her low rumble washing one and all in...

Bombshells of Lucidness
Daddy,
Six years ago ended your yearly visits, now in your mid seventies I got it or so I thought. Increasing my call from every few months or so to nearly monthly. Not long, much too quick actually, you'd call leaving random msgs even calling me random names. Caring for my beloved Aunt, her Alzheimer's a slow, agonizing kiss of death. Suspecting the same however yours was venom's quick bite of destruction. Only one month, one Frickin month. Upon calling your 4th and final wife informs, in monotone might I add, your loss of balance causing not only a severely broken nose but a deep...

Awareness
April is Childhood Sexual, Physical and Mental Abuse Awareness Month👣
It's once again time to shake the undergrounds pages
Rattle the heathens cages of captivity
Collectively raise our voices
For it's way past time to be heard
All ink jotters we must lift those beautiful shadowed eyes
Take stock of our surroundings
Become more aware than ever
A child's life depends on it
Thank about how lucky we really are at least we survived while so many, so frickin many didn't
In stores
On playgrounds ...

TRAPPED....
On 3/31/2016 my husband and i took Boo, my beautiful white, service pit bull for one of our daily walks, we walk her several times a day for about an hour each walk. Out of an alley came a stray pit bull, she was charging Boo and jumped her. Without hesitation we joined the fight until, in pain, i blacked out. Finally she was free. Carrying me home i came to, blood was everywhere. We were drenched in blood, looking over Boo's various bites we decided to take her to the vet but i couldn't walk on my foot. Calling my in-laws they took her and my husband and i went to the emergency room. My...

Aleah Beckerle,
Such a beautiful soul encased within a soldier, a fighter, a tragedy of horrifying evil. May your spirit of a warrior be an inspiration to all survivors who have valiantly battled and lost the war as well as soldiers still courageously fighting onward. You may be gone however you will never ever be forgotten. Nestled within God's loving embrace may your dazzling light forever shine on. Much much love and beyond deep mad respect,
SURVIVOR

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
A poet's page is their place of pride, hard work and proof of their dedication. Blood has been spilled and tears have been cried and shared. Friends have graced their page and shared laughter, tears and chats have been shared. Poet's have graced their page who offer critique, when asked for, offered kind words when asked for and leave no comment when asked for. Poet's grace their page to chat about how they didn't agree about their poems and it's all done respectfully. But NEVER is their a place to mark for crude, nasty and snide comments. I also grace my friends page and with eyes of ICE I...
