Violated By My Own Imagination

Creepy crawling slimy wiggly thing Feels eerily strange against my pajama leg I wake up suddenly Thinking cobra or sleazy wet rat violated by my own imagination Snatching my explorer hat out of the clutches of the crocodile in the swampy forest floor

Reads like a scary situation. Wouldn't want to be where there is a crocodile close enough to be getting my hat. LOL..Sara

I tell you Sara, if I had a dollar for every time I had this dream, I would have a dollar. Thank you for stopping by!

I am no where near them, and yet I greatly fear them.

I have them or I make them up. I am a liar, Allen. It is the key to my existence as a poet and an artist.

It happens every once in awhile and yet I am always amazed and surprised I have escaped another alligator's masticating teeth.

I am a cartoonist, and artist,a grandma, a mommy, a gardener, and a messy person who loves everything except drama. I especially love shiny things and lots of color.

Yes, this is so true. I was desperate for something, not wanting to disappoint myself today so I threw this down on a ten minute break at work.

The warrior, the princess, the faerie, the pixie, the lion, the wolf, the pirate, and the queen of everything in my head - all fighting to write it first.
