Galaxy of Stars
In the hush of night’s embrace, so wide, Where silence floats and dreams reside, There lies a sea, not made of seas— But stars that whisper through the breeze. A galaxy, both near and far, Each flicker shines—a silent scar Of wishes cast and hopes once made, That glimmer bright but never fade. Each star, a story, fierce and true, Of ancient light that...

Falling in between family cracks Only with shirt on your back Sometimes life is incredibly wacked The adults mistakes mean life is bad Even though it’s not your fault Racking brain with what you said Keeping hope seems a lost cause In time so angry you see red Defying the odds determined to be Someone powerful when grown and free...

Premium Member Opposites Kids
He is like red fire I am like blue ice Hopeless is desire Opposites we fight We create gray steam As if love is a dream Merging as if esteem Creates king and queen What of the future then Aftermath of our blend Saintly or of sun Dainty or masculine Perhaps our seed will grow Flower like art of gold Powered by heart and soul With...

Dead Kids Tell No Tales
“I want what they have.” and “When is it my turn?” “Waiting on Prince Charming” I’m wondering when they’ll learn You can wait for Fairy Godmother To turn your mice all into men But just remember, tale’s not over When the paper reads “The End.” Cindy-Cindy Relly Did you see what’s on the tele? Broken hearts, and slippers shattered Broken record, same old pattern Boy meets...

Premium Member Kids and Cats
Kids and cats have much in common. Cats don't talk, but kids' questions startle us so! When is tomorrow? Where does the sun go at night? Why does the sky cry? How long is a minute? Curiosity killed the cat. I’m glad kids aren’t like that!...

To my kids, don't be a God who
What a bunch of hypocrites down here, Acting as if He's not there. He sends trouble to get our attention, And their first reaction is prayer. When the trouble goes away, Any thoughts about him does too. Someone grateful says "Thank God" While the ungrateful say "God who???" Let the same God-denier's child get sick, Or lose someone they loved. They have the nerve to...

Dirt Driveways
Dirt Driveways Who knew that dirt driveways lead to happy homes? That Prince Charming’s white horse is really a black BMW. That our kingdom would consist of his, mine, and ours. Who knew that fairytale castles came in split-level houses with cathedral ceilings? That the beauty in the house comes from the twists and turns in the architecture. That...

A SILLY DAY!
Did the ocean try to dry its splashy face? Did mountains brush off dusty, grassy trace? Did the ground hide softly from the rainy days? Did the wind play statue at morning's crystal maze? Did planets wear funny costumes, just in case? Let your own glory glitter, like fireflies' wobbly space!...

Premium Member My Light-Hearted Kids Poem
Kids are rough. They make my shoulders tired. My eyes ruddy. They make me 2nd, 3rd, 4th guess myself. All of reality is questioned And I’m summoned for answers. Constantly running out of juice. The fridge and pantries are stuffed to the gills With every non-preferred food item imaginable. I look over at my 3 persuasive goblin angels. They appear to laugh and cry at...

And from my soul let truth be told Little ones, in heart I hold Their little hands, fingers and toes Their glowing faces, the way it shows When they are happy, or sometimes sad When they are good, or sometimes bad These little ones, that I love to death They always seem, to take my breath...

THE FROG
The frog hoped around Looking for a wife He had nothing to offer So, he offered his life To a beautiful queen sitting On a lime green Lilypad Once she saw him her eyes lit up Before he arrived, she was very sad The frog shouted marry me my love Suddenly a star shined brightly from above She chuckled then smiled Saying we both feel love ...
