Premium Member Walking Miles in the Dollar Store
For three hours, I wait. Is patient the word? A friendly face, too soon? Still, when your old you have no time for particulars, need to tell your story to who will listen; and walk miles and miles of aisles in the dollar store where your friend never goes; and you tell her about the rose; and eventually Mary and Martha meet, having never crossed paths before, and probably nevermore this...

Marlaina, in Bloom
In gardens where the wild winds roam,? Marlaina walks, and love comes home.? Each step she takes, the blossoms rise—? Their colours borrowed from her eyes. She lingers where Gerber Daisies grow,? With petals soft as evening’s glow.? They blush in pinks and fiery gold,? As if they know the hands that hold? Their fragile stems are warm with fire—? A gardener, yes—but so...

Phases and Faces
The table’s set, the cards are stacked,? Coffee is ready, out come the snacks.? Allana grins, that knowing look—? She’s got Phase 1 like it’s a book. We start out slow, just laying sets,? But soon the room is full of bets: ?“Will she skip me?” “Who's on Phase 3?”? The drama builds deliciously. A run of four, a colour sweep,? Wild cards hoarded,...

Mom, A Special Friend
You were my first and truest guide,? With open arms and heart so wide.? A listening ear through sleepless nights,? A steady hand in all my fights. You taught me love, you taught me grace,? You held me in your warm embrace.? But I, your son, was not always kind— ?I lost my way, left truth behind. I broke your heart with foolish...

On Returning Leftover Peppermint to My Neighbor
Digestion liquesces peppermint. I chew the leaves for both of us, an aftertaste when stillness is an afterthought. Dust gleams like the raised plastic on a debit card. Winds seem to bank and then burst through a window in a venetian blind-slatted sunshine; bars slit across you on the floor. Strangers make front entrances where shoes scuff the rug. The briefest, jagged arcs...

Born 31st July 2014 – Passed 16th July 2025 When shadows fell and nights grew long.. You came into my life.. a light, a song. So soft, so sweet, with joy so true.. The world felt brighter just with you. You made me laugh when I would cry.. A wagging tail, a knowing eye. No judgment, just your steady grace.. Pure love reflected...

Sisyphus’ Lament
Sisyphus’ Lament I took each hard punch And swallowed each raw pill. But you said it wasn’t a fair fight And I agree, But you didn’t watch My tears each night, No, they weren’t For you to see. And I agree, So you watched me Push that boulder Up that hill With a sickened grin of evil glee....

From The Heart
Times are tough, but know I’m here, Your forever friend, my love, my dear. When skies turn gray and shadows fall, I’ll be your light, make me your first call. No matter the storm, please don’t be afraid, I’ll always be here it’s the friendship we’ve made. The pain in your heart is quite overwhelming, My friend, my dear, I’ll be here...

My Fake Daughter, My True Friend, Lauren
At twenty-six, a gentle flame,? A golden heart, a glowing name. ?With grace she walks, with light she stands, ?A scholar's mind, with helping hands. What once began with drinks and cheer,? Evolved into a bond so dear. ?Not bound by blood, but something more, ?A kindred soul I now adore. She’s laughter in the darkest night,? She’s wisdom when the path’s not right. ?An...

The Edge Of Us
We talk like always—deep and wide,? Of everything, and what's inside.? You know my soul, I know your face, ?Every silence, every grace. But there’s a line we never cross, ?Drawn soft in sand, but heavy with loss.? A whisper hung between each laugh,? A truth we only feel by half. I see it in the way you pause,? In hands that shake without...

Strength?
strength they call her fondly she's courage to some i hold her hand, let her in let her show me who i shall be i hold her hand, let her in let her guide me through the thorny scene she stayed, with regret hidden in neat folds of guilt she held grief, letting broken trust be built she held softness, she held...

Premium Member Ode To Poetry Soup
As we sit and type and stare at our screens. At times we wonder what all of this means? With our mouse we roam through poems like a maze. Looking for something worthy of our praise. We write of our hopes and tell of our woes, Most of the time, not knowing where it goes. We wait for the views and...
