SNOWBALL SLEW
avalanche snow ~ true breathless blue
he slips, she slides, he dives, she flips
the helpless team - a snowball slew
of heads and knees, of toes and lips
and she yells cut ~ redo the scripts

English Quintain
Sickeningly unstable,
disheartened we stand
like brave little cowards
with solid, shaky hands.
We make declarations out loud,
oaths beautifully fall out of
our mouths.
Even the most significant pledges cannot be guaranteed
as our minds think up promises our hearts can't keep.
We're just a slew of hearts,
pounding no good hearts.
We're just a slew of hearts.
We're just a bunch of slayed, pounded hearts.
Just a slew of hearts.
A slew of stories wait for me
Arranged upon the shelves;
The characters, impatient,
Want to introduce themselves.
I scan the titles, seeing if
Some gems I can discover
And yes, I’m guilty as I judge
A few just by the cover.
To help with my decision,
I’ll peruse page 1 to see
If the writing or the subject
Will exert a hold on me.
If so, I’ll check it out and leave,
With expectations high
That among that slew of stories
This one’s like to satisfy.
