But still she got caught in the storm
Due at 5:30, it’s quarter to ten
She should never have driven alone

Maybe she’s parked at a rest stop
Or maybe some roadside motel

Leaves and Shields
Oft'times I see my friends all 'round
Lke leaves of Autumn, floating down
And softly drifting, side-to-side
A passive dance, on zephryn tide

Then when the ground is covered o'er

If only I could shake off long rigorous winter;
and embrace secret hidden in the cool of spring.

Enlivened by nature; the twitter sound of the Scarlet Tanager,
its red-orange and black feathers, the flame of spring.

He will never find it, for he abused what he had,
Taken advantage of a heart so willing to give,
His own selfish reasons so egos agenda can live,

So many books I've read
Encased by my costume of indifference
While inside I hang by a thread
None of my teachers have prepared me for this

Through the street, bellows spill its music
      accompanied with voice.
    Brooks heart enjoying the beauty,

Premium Member Kitten On a Doctor's Hook
The neurologist hung me out to dry
“No cure,” says he as I hang by a thread
All dressed up and wanting to fly
Took torturous tests that I did dread

Forgotten Dolls
A hair crack runs down her porcelain face.
She’s framed in a moth eaten tattered dress
that is trimmed in satin and yellowed lace.
Her skin powdered, with a look of duress.

People who fly might have a nervous fit
If they take a little peek inside the cockpit

No pilot can know what they are all for
