Reliquary

Retreating into my mind, I find, Encased like glass, a history of my past, of Lovers long ago, of bent and broken arrows. Instant memories envelop me, like a familiar Quilt, wrapping me into a mummy of guilt, Unhappiness, pain. . . all feeling remains, Are stored here, the bones of tears, to Regret, resurrect, reflect, or entomb. I linger, having Yet to exhume, the elusive, gold doubloons. 4/26/11 *Won 1st place in "One Off" contest

Just came back here to say, she was calling C. the Ho! But I do not know why she keeps talking about plagiarism and signing that weird L after every single comment that anyone made to me. It's very creepy, Susan. Now that I have quit commenting to her, nothing is happening. Should I tell Soup that she is accusing me of plagiarism?? I don't know what to do! Look at one of the bottom comments someone made to that poem of mine and see what she is saying. well, Xmas Eve. Time to write a contest poem

Goodness, Susan, if I had a friend like this, I'd do my best to avoid them. I see going further inward as she "chats on." You should write something on this for the "I am bored with ____" contest. Awesome! Sorry you have to endure this though. Love, Carolyn
