Premium Member Creepy Planters From Delaware Town
Creepy planters from Delaware town Their heads all ugly, weird smile or frown. I cannot believe how annoying they look. As strange as anything in any horror book. Oh, they are yours I say to the artist with a smile. Pretending they are not hideously strange and vile. The artist is not fooled; she is my great-Aunt Candy Keen. I make them...

i never dreamed i would miss my first haven. the dusty little room filled with a misty smell. windows covered with dusty soot, outdoors a little hell. the abandon flats with shadowy visitors at night. the empty liquor bottles left covering the street. it was a haven of being on my own, being alone. the ragged kids playing ball with winos refuge from nights ago, the shiny cadillacs...

Premium Member No Better Will You Fare On the Other Side of the Delaware

However, evanescent will be their victorious grin. Whatever they win will be thrown back to the house. After their bankroll is tapped, they will feel like a...

Capital Trail, Delaware
Share Edit Capital Trail, Delaware by June Ellen Smith Workers came, chopped the front yard. Made Capital Trail, Kirkwood Highway. Lived there when I was six years young. Trees galore, weeping willow I swong on. Caught turtles, bugs and bats for pets. Buttercups glowed under chins. Nests Of bluish eggs, were not to touch them. My father grew up in this house,...
