Premium Member Intusive Thoughts
Often quiet evenings, when I read, Memories of you softly intrude Times when you were my only need Heady days of a love we pursued and saw only in glasses rose hued.

Premium Member The Three Primary Colors
"Never paint except with the three primary colors [red, blue, and yellow] and their derivatives." Camille Pissarro One primary color can make me feel mellow when warm like honey heated up or like rays of a golden sun. It’s flax, saffron, blond, and canary yellow, cheerful like a daffodil and bumblebee fun. It’s bananas too and a well-buttered bun! The...

Premium Member When Wishes Come True
A Mom and Dad who'd drifted far apart walked by their little daughter's room one night and heard, "I'm hurting right here in my heart! I wish," she told her dolls, "they wouldn't fight and be mean to each other. It's not right!" Before too long those parents, who had prayed, stood holding hands outside...
