All those High School years, she stared at smiles
and would envy those, lined up in rows
shoulder to shoulder, enjoying the carefree days.
They with porcelain jewels, of sparkling white
she would have given her life to have such shine,
but was much too shy, to seek their eyes
At fifteen years old...she averted her eyes
while beneath her nose, no winning smile
would grace her face. So, to avoid disgrace, she declined to shine
or laugh with the kids in the algebra rows.
How often she'd long to star in the play and dazzle her whites
"Be patient," they'd tell her...."You'll be a beauty, one day"
And while she waited impatiently for that far away day
keeping chin down, this ugly duckling, with lowered eyes
It may seem extreme, but a few kids, with straight and white,
called her "Metal Mouth", which dampened her spirit and also her smile.
Barely could she eat the mushy fruits, passing the rows
of cripsy foods, ate mostly mashed and white, pining for a crisp apple to shine
She talked with a lisp, while awkward wires shined
and wore horrid bands. Then on those "Ortho" days
after school, while in uncomfortable chairs lined up in rows,
he'd greet, "How are you, Missy?" ..with his bespectacled eyes.
"Open wide"....(and with pliers that looked like her Dad's, but could fix a smile)
as, with all of his might, he adjusted and tightened....correcting her whites
Branded with bands across the whites
Correcting the gaps, the lapse, the crooked shine
A few like her with awkward smiles
Would count the hours and count the days
Longed for smiles to please the eye
And be so blessed with perfect rows
Finally one day, while sitting in rows
Snip-snip!, at last, he cried..."Let's free these whites"!!
With excitement, the life came back to her eyes
"I'll grant your wish, with a brand new shine!"
She was the happiest girl on the planet today
and she left his office with a brand new smile!
While sitting in school rows, she beams her white teeth, merrily joining the fun
Her eyes always shine now, she stands tall and proud, singing out loud in the sun
And during each school day, she smiles all the time, finally her life has begun!

For Debbie's Joy contest (Sestina)
The wind sweeps over my bikini
and combs through my hair
This canoe ride.. is like a glass of red wine
The Naked grape my favourite kind.
I feel at peace...............
For the first time, in a while
completely rid of my anxieties
The sun embraces my skin
My china doll ceramic is so accepting
My golden retriever fearlessly jumps off the dock
he flies
He seeks adventure and see's life for what it is
You see because life is two people throwing a frisbee.
Chasing the disc back and forth desperately in hopes of the one momentarty tasting his own
personal victories
Or those moments where you throw back your hair to the wind
Uncaring for the consequences
This is how he lives
My golden retriever is the essence of living,, unaware of how his actions may be percieved
as emberrassing.
Because he lives how he feels free, and when your free
your mind explodes like a dying star and is reborn into a forming galaxy
That is all he needs.
When is it in life that we as humans just accept life for the catch and release
The elegant flight of the greek discus
When we should be tossing away our laptops, and blackberries
I'm sick of fashion magazines
telling me what is the right skinny
Because I have two skin cascadian mountains erupting from my chest
I have hips like the sticks of dynamite
and nile river torso
and a bottom that is as flat as a pizza dough
You realize the quirks and aspects that make you as an individual
BEAUTIFUL
Live like the dog that is hidden in the back of your mind
find the little things that make you gratified
Love the people around you, and celebrate their arrivals like a carnival
Eat your bowls of food like they were your last meal
Lay out on the carpet as if you lay in a bed with sheets made from Egyptian Silks
This is the way to live your life I am telling you
My dad is in the army
that’s the life he chose
We, his family, stay with him
No matter where he goes.
When he’s stationed in a War Zone
Of course we’re left behind
Even though he isn’t with us
He’s always on our mind.
When given an assignment
Which we refer to as rotation,
they do a 2 or 3 year tour,
then are sent to a new location.
At five, when I started going to school,
I was still too young to know,
that the friendships I was making,
would be over, in two years or so!
So all the friends that I had made
would soon be left behind.
Now at our new location
It’s all new friends I'd have to find.
Longtime friendships are so scarce,
due to moving 'round so much.
It makes it much, much harder,
for old friends to keep in touch.
I've seen lots of interesting places
which other kids don't get to see.
I know in a way I've been lucky
That's a fact, I have to agree.
But moving and traveling starts to get old
when you have to do it so much,
with so many different teachers and schools,
you feel that you're out of touch!
This kind of life is a double-edged sword,
some bad times, but most have been good,
I'm thankful for all the experience,
I'd like that to be understood!
However, what I am saying now,
as I grow more mature,
I'm tired of traveling and moving around
I'm wanting to feel more secure.
It sounds like I may be unhappy,
but that isn't so - God forbid,
cause I'll never forget the experience,
of being a Military Kid.
(Based on a conversation with my
granddaughter Courtney (Mil Kid)
i have a dream
i wanted it to be true
dreaming of angels
and all the things they do,
making people happy
with there loving smile
making wishes true
on all the things they do;
dreaming of angels
and all they can do for you,
wishing on my dreams
yet they seem so far away
wish a little angel
would bring my wish today,
dreaming of the stars
that glitter in the night.
dreaming at the beauty
that they shine so bright,
dreaming of being happy
and make my world content
dreaming of the life
that a wish it was meant,
my dreams are my heart
and everything they do
is dreaming my life away
as dreaming of you,
looking out to sea
and watching all the waves
dreaming of the sunshine
never dream of rain,
listen to the wind
and dream of fluffy clouds
dream there racing
to a little loving ground,
my dreams are so distant
till the angels are near
i pray the little angels
whisper in my ear,
what the angels say
is all good news
there all saying
my dreams are all of you,
i dream of the birds
that fly high in the sky
with the sea of love
my dreams will never pass me by,
i hope there is angels
and listen to my prayers
as all i really want
is my dream is to be there,
i want to dream am happy
a dream my life away
praying for an angel
to answer my dreams today,
it is now daylight
am still dreaming along
dreaming to hear sweet words
and dream they sing along.
my dreams may seem funny
as they may do
my dreaming is not of money
my dreams are of you ,,,,,,

You and me,
We are moving swiftly into different trails
But can you see
Even in our loneliness we shared
That every life is covered with fears and cry
And I assured you that you won’t be alone at night
Everything,
It’s always comes and goes like the seasons passed
Eventually, every rain will always dry
And the sun will come to bright the sky
So have you ever realized?
You and me, we will never feel lonely at night
I will always there for you
Even if I don’t even know you
Each heart is blessed by a magical spell
It has a collection of emotions ready to share
So you and I won’t feel lonely at night
We live along in the universe
And maybe this is why we all here
Just to give, to love and there is nothing else
And to tell you that you don’t have to feel lonely at night
We have loaded our minds in vain and broken dreams
And we keep on fighting the thought that life is mean
So I will be there to tell you that you are wrong
The world can be beautiful and that thought is strong
You and me,
We are all strangers in this crowded world
But can you see
Even in our emptiness we shared
That I don’t have to know your name
Just to tell you that we are not all alone tonight
We’ll share our nights
We’ll share our dreams
We’ll share our lights
We’ll spread some laughs
So that we don’t have to cry anymore
Last born of three
With loving and caring parents
Although through life
I could not see
As I grew up
To belong was my need
Rejected by some
Concentrating only on me
Seeing what is not
Was my deal
Fearing the unknown
Was all so real
Each head is a world
And mine was in turmoil
The power I had
Was shortchanged and soiled
I did not fit in
So I made it a point
To fit in with all
Even if it meant hurting me
When at the time
I didn’t realize
That what I felt
Was a normal life
They could not adjust
To my caring and empathy
They all thought me weak
And saw me with sympathy
My family is all to me
And being there is all I need
To finally see that all the problems
Don’t lie within me
Yes I kept to my self
And I hoped that no one saw
All the sadness
That came through me
Yet life is short
So I make the best of it
Now knowing that
This life is what I make of it
Life goes by day by day
And I now enjoy
Waking up every day
Full of love and joy
I now know how to love
Who to love and why
I can truly say
I LOVE and ACCEPT me!!
A Diamond in the Rough.

The very first time I saw him
I thought he looked sublime
Never dreaming in all the world
That one day he would be mine,
He was not what you'd call 'a head turner'
He didn't stand out in a crowd
But in my eyes, Morris was gorgeous
When I was with him, I always felt proud
Life with him was never at 'snails pace'
We spent many an hour cruising town
And although he lived life 'in the fast lane'
He never, once, let me down
Always there, exactly when needed
On him I could always depend
Through time we became unseparable
He was a solid, reliable friend,
We would visit all maner of places
He was full of drive and vim
With Morris I found the freedom
I would never have known but for him
Then one day, it was all over,
I knew life wouldn't be the same
That nothing on earth would fill the void
Of never seeing Morris again,
It broke my heart when we parted
Although I knew he had to go
And I wept, as I handed the stranger the keys
To drive away 'Morris'.....my metro!!
There are no guarantees in life
save one…and none of us
certainly not me and possibly not you
no one can outrun the call of their destiny
once upon a time is a saying
created only by the lawyers
Don’t rely on fortune cookies
as the reason to quit your job
Eat spicy Chinese food
out of a carton ……with chopsticks...more often
sitting on a park bench talking with a stranger
say these words daily
thank you……..please….and I love you
as if they actually mattered to you
Draw your own lines carefully in the sand
and defend them with all that you are
Drink hot coffee from a bowl
hold onto the one you love with both hands
whatever you do in life do it with intense passion
never do what your enemy
expects you to do...ever
live well …love better
Dance and sing your heart out every single day
Live….just live as large as you can
Remember the Alamo

ive become to hate how life is just so predictaable!!
i have no addiction to anything but the boredom that has become my situation.
Yes i love being there but i dont thrive on anything.
Ive become the women i hate, the ordinary and consistent.
They lay their lives on the line and refuse to walk it drunkenly!
Laugh out loud is beyond them, Profanities arent even heard of it!
Wheres the curiosity, the blatant disreguard for any form of restrictions and rules.
They lack those beautiful moments where everything could be falling apart and yet your
smiling.
Yes those arent the ways to a life of success but what is life without memories, without
experience, without fun!
Unrelenting and stubborn, i refuse to be the stepford wife of idiocy.
Here i am world, like it or not, im not going to change...and why should i?
I mean, its not like i killed anyone...tee hee
