Nature's Sorceress
The woman in the emerald green dress
With mud skin and sunshine hair, plants daisies
Grass sways to the rthyme of her soft finesse
Mother's love blooms like wallpaper paisleys
Animals erupt from great happiness -
The Paper
Axe on the floor
Blood envelops my hand
"Follow me," the paper said
Sirens wail
Water veils
"Follow me," the paper whispered
An emotional twister
I wanted something better -
When I Heard the Bird Cry
I touch the cool October breeze as I stand at the edge of my driveway waiting for the bus. My long strawberry blonde hair dances to the wind's song. I gaze upon the falling leaves. -
The Memory of Christmas
Frosty cold crystals dance down from the soft gray sky
Frosting the deep blue cake
Plump green wreaths live on street lamps and doors
Towering evergreens are hauled into houses shedding needles on the floor -
Watermelon Seeds
When I was younger, I was told
That if you eat the seeds of a watermelon
One grows in your stomach.
A tsunami of panic flooded my veins
Knowing something would grow in me as I ate. -
Writer's Block
In the perfect mood with nothing to write.
Ideas swarm like bees in my head but none ever take flight.
My fingers, bent, glare down at the keyboard
As its letters taunt me about not having good ideas in my head.
