Of Secrets and Myths

In shadow
                                    larger than the life
                                    she has been led to live
                                    a treasure trove
                                    of secrets and myths

Ralph Sergi May 7, 2019 at 8:11 AM Hi Maureen: As the father of 3 daughters I can readily agree that all women have secrets and myths that make them more unique than men. Bravo!

Jeff Connelly May 6, 2019 at 3:09 PM Maureen, me being a fan of movies, I can see a film noir/horror film in your words. The heroine trying to escape the myths, but since a secret, no one tells her everything IS her. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 6, 2019 at 3:25 PM ...and with that, The Snake Pit comes to mind ;) cool & thank you!
