Honoring You In Living Color
Kitchen counters alive; the vivid colors of red, green, purple and yellow glass jars. Your garden flourished.
.
Pickled beets mingle boiled eggs; a pretty periwinkle purple.
.
Yellow and purple tinted fingers; dandelions and elderberries distilling; musty aroma...

Premium Member Quail Not At Death's Door If You Wrought No Wilful Harm
Quail not at Death’s door if you wrought no wilful harm

Quail not at Death’s door if you wrought no wilful harm
Should turning back in vengeance be the Dead Man’s qualm
Though even as the end nears...

Granny's Treasures
Tossing and turning after a heavy economic loss
The shock shattered my peace of nights
Hugging my pillow tight with unshed tears
The sorrowful thoughts trudged haltingly
To my grandma's antique sewing machine
Lying impassively in the cluttered store
Guilt shook...

Premium Member The Task
The old screen door still welcomes me, a familiar song I've heard before..
But oddly now, it's out of tune, a strange new wail of some despair
After this,...who'll pass this way?
Will they use the rug and...

My Father and a Ray of Hope
With a huge geometry of bones and ribs
my father stands amidst us,
like an age-old iron pillar,
high durable, tensile and unbrittle
he is, the lonesome cantilever.

Though I know not,
perhaps he could be in immense pain,
or suffering from...

Vicky Jenkins
Vicky is an archer, born on the 14th of April,
In 1977, and started getting that archery thrill,
In 2010 when she competed for the first time:
She found archery thru a friend’s lucid dime.

She lives in Malvern...

Blue-checkered curtains are faded, and drawn,..
after years since she made them, from gunny-sack cloth

The Singer, long idle, now gathers more dust,
with its needle still threaded, and the treadle at rest

As I clear out the room,...

Sex For You
Sex for you is all I have.
Just a simple title.
The chance to give you all I am
just to keep you vital.

A pleasure we could do without
for just a little mettle.
But really who're we running from
We'll...

Unravelling the Tapestry
I found in my tapestry
a rare golden thread,
I began to unravel it
to see where it led

The weft that was freed 
from the intricate weave, 
changed the course of my life
more than I'd ever conceive

While the...

Premium Member The Fabric of Two Lives
Sewing machine, long idle, gathered dust
Its turn-of-the-century frame clad in rust

Sitting in the old attic’s dim lighting
It revived memories uninviting

Her dauntless spirit still seemed to be there
Helen, hard at work in her wicker chair

The bobbin...

That tool kit you gave me
At two, Mom 
was meant to be a toy
But made of real metal 
How did I know 
What to do with the saw 
That I...
