I Got In Trouble With The Maid
I was seven, barefoot in the hallway, nose pressed to the brass knob of the guest room— she’d left the key out, but I wanted to see through, the way you want to see the belly of a piano, strings naked, all hammer and throat. The maid caught me, her voice full of linen snaps and starch— What are you doing, Miss? I lied....

I’m at the age where I’ve grown really long hair And I don’t denim care That the trend is to cut it No longer wearing high heels Just for a flex or a thrill More about how my feet feel And they don’t love it I don’t have many pink plans Flying by seat of peach pants Keeping my praying hands I am blessed with contentment...

German Poetry translations into English II
These are modern English translations of poems by the German poets Ingeborg Bachmann, H. Distler and Johann Georg Jacobi. “Song” by Johann Georg Jacobi translation by Michael R. Burch Friend, tell me where the violet fled, so lately gaily blowing? That once perfumed fair Flora’s tread, its choicest scents bestowing? Swain, give up verse and hang your head: the violet lies dead! Friend, what...

Premium Member The Haunting of the Moon
She comes when the Moon is heavy With wishes from many a maid Who with passionate longing, Their dreams upon it laid She comes when night is warmest In the time of the southern winds That bring the moaning cries Of maidens who meet sad ends Her long dark tresses flowing Along a figure fair and sweet In creamy lace of night dresses She haunts there...

The Milking Maid
In dawn's embrace, she strolls the dew-kissed fields, Her tender touch, to morning's yield. Silken hair, a cascade of midnight's grace, Soft hands whispering, love’s gentle trace. Beneath the boughs where shadows fade, She moves with ease, the milking maid. Her breath, a sigh in the cool, crisp air, Her eyes, a promise, a daring dare. Each motion, slow, deliberate, kind, Her touch, a...

Premium Member Maid For The Ungrateful
She's thirty-three, single, her Mom babysits her five year old son. She reassures herself it's just two more hours, then it's the blessed weekend. Which means delicious sleep. She has no nest egg, she's just getting by. There is one kind aging matron who makes her lunch when she cleans her large stately home. Yet, other well-to-do homeowners cast their false superiority heavy in the air as she imagines...

Premium Member Niagara Falls
Inhaling the mist on Niagara's waters, we sail, Love and romance, in the mist's sweet tale. As couples, we mirror the falls' ebb and flow, Peaks of passion, in the mist's soft glow. Yet a lone soul, lost in the cascade's thrall, Streams of loneliness, down the falls do fall. In search of love, in the mist's swirling sea, Losing identity...

Fury, A Shy Maid
My anger when watched all but nude, It soon beat a hasty retreat. Fury’s a shy maid in black mood, When exposed, ogled at, would quit, Feel helpless, void of all her wit. _______________________________ Reflections | 03.05.2013, revised January 2024|Quintain ...

Callie Croakers was always a frogmaid, never a bride. Her disappointment she very often would try to hide. You have more dresses than anyone know I said. But she lamented, none are my favorite color, which is red....

Premium Member Do Not Tease Richie During Old Maid
My brother Richie used to turn into a loon when he got the old Maid. His face would turn red, scarlet, plum, and a bright fuchsia shade. The rest of us would know, and we could not stop laughing at him. The one who laughed the hardest was our crazy Uncle, Weird Jim. Weird Jim tormented Richie after he...

Tale of Woe
Thy young maiden, Peck her Lily flower a shake. A brittle sound of break, Sobbing till tears make. Bare feet on wet grass. Alas, her life, soon ‘twill pass. ...

I have yet to speak with Gordon On his Maid being a Great Burden: He’s saying that it’s not The Norm For A Boss to speak and Maid storm; She that he could neatly suppress Trying to his own feelings repress! A Maid who hopes to rule their town Already obvious in her gown! “Jenny is one to off cordon Like A Crime Scene,...
