Carving a Niche
She sat in silence, whittling wood, Creating magic with her hands, Here she couldn't be misunderstood, Carving charming pieces on stands, Fulfilling customer demands; She carved serenely, working hard, Chipping away those needless bits, Making art out of something marred, This showcased her finesse and wits, She loved her work, wouldn’t call it quits; With this job, she couldn’t make ends meet, But she rose to...

Premium Member Carving a Road Through Time
he stood and people stand, he walked and people walk, he flew and people fly, and on the inside wrappers of candy bars and on the paper napkins from fast food restaurants and from the scraps of brown bags and old newspapers the notes came pouring in notes from songs that people longed to have sung from all who followed him climbing rung to rung. The notes...

It's getting hot in here, 350 degrees, picked clean, and stuffed. Keep the meats separated, turkey! Some like dark meat. Some like white meat. Segregated even on Thanksgiving. Yams or sweet potatoes, Mashed or baked, all...

100 Words the Closet Door and the Modest Carving

Aren't grandchildren marvelous! Spoil them just rotten, then give them back, but they are never forgotten. My maternal instincts are rekindled and who best to let them experience the joy I knew.

Wood Carving He sits there, not quite motionless, for even the comfortable must alter their perception occasionally, frozen stare upon a craggy visage, tiny fox-like predator eyes peering into your soul. “What are his origins?” ask the bespectacled intellectuals. “Who is he?” and “Why has he taken up his unwelcome residence here?” The buses pass carrying workers, students, captains of industry. They look...

Tree Carving
I went outside Chisel in hand Found a tree with the biggest trunk Took a firm stand Wood chips began to fly A heart began to appear I thought we'd be together But a cross grain was near A knot stopped me The heart was complete It will remain empty inside, like me Until true love I meet...
