Premium Member Anticipating His Smile
She anticipated his brown eyes shining up When he saw her skimpy beach cover all She knew his heart would beat triple time He would probably stumble on the beach Their relieved embrace would go on forever and a day She would get gritty with sand It would be worth it The announcement was made on Tuesday He was not coming back from...

Premium Member Anticipating Diversity
Diversity explores both resonant and opposing positions with nearly predative anticipation And such perversely curious reverse revisioning diversity deplores with monoculturing anxiety quietly crossed and boldly violated boundaries of personal and familial and municipal and EarthTribal indigenous integrity Sacred space expands mindfully perceived this Business As Traumatically Usual place too lose/lose dark and too win/win blind to keep faith with dimming starlight Celestial Glitter Rivered Ways majestic yet ominously silent shunned Spirits of ancient silvered...

Premium Member Anticipating Christmas
I remember the anticipation of Christmas Days passed so slowly as excitement filled the air Practice for special Christmas pageants at church Worrying that I might forget my part in the play, Listening while plans were made for Christmas Day While feeling that something could prevent a visit From Santa. Lots of talk about being extra good For Santa had been known...

Anticipating the Winter
Anticipating the winter, anticipating the Cold As November quietly rolls away, More cars will get stuck on the road; More trains too, stuck on the rail. The heart will beat faster, And screams will become whisper. Anticipate now, How to survive the Cold Anticipate for the best Winter cares not for the young or old. The birds has got a plan. I too, have got...

Premium Member Anticipating Utopia
Anyone can choose to be a citizen of God's Utopian city, but Nothing nor anyone, can enter such a city without proper identity. The city will be filled with people who are clean and pure.

Premium Member Anticipating What My Children Will Do
My children will take a match and throw it into this mess and laugh. As everything goes up into a giant bonfire. The couches, the rugs, the pillows, my paintings. I can visualize it, and I do not blame them. I would do this too if I had to face cleaning out this mess. I feel grateful that I...

Premium Member Anticipating Spring
Tiny crocuses soon peep their purple heads Above the lingering pale green foliage In my upper yard's terraced flowering beds Robins on my lawn will hungrily forage Building their sturdy nests out of sticks and threads Young folks are considering dates for marriage Days when I open the windows for fresh air And belt out the loudest show tune, if I dare! Written...

Premium Member Anticipating All the Evening's Fun
It is a darkling night in Union Square Yet in our hearts 'tis bright as noonday sun The gloomy mist cannot our high hopes snare Anticipating all the evening's fun We're going to a premiere Broadway play And meeting all the stars and cast backstage Then dancing out beneath the Milky Way To music sweet as wine that's finely aged We take...

Premium Member Mask of Misery
Childhood is meant to be loving and carefree, sadly it’s not always the way it should be... The mask of misery hiding the curse Coming from violence and angry words A tender heart that's been broken in two Too young to understand rage and abuse. There's an unease in anticipation Waiting for another confrontation Relief comes after stress of the tirade And the heart...

Premium Member The Terrifying Snip-Snaw
Snip-snaw lambasted me today. Misunderstood initially, Practically undiscovered Until I remembered the stories of Some others. Zeke and Sam’s horrible, vivid scary Stories of unkind deeds the snip-snaw had Caused them to do, against their Best judgement, immobilized me To my bed for an extra hour, Weighted blanket over my head. Terrified burgundy hair stood up notoriously tall. Goosebumps on my scalp, I felt...
