Premium Member Half Past Summer, Two Months To Fall
Half Past Summer, Two Months To Fall The sultry legs of summer dance under sunny skies Each day, the steps are heated and embraced She lies in summer's arms on a beach, tanning herself As the sands of summer roll with the waltzing tides When the song ends, she sighs, and a new stage begins Slippers and sandals are replaced...

Premium Member The Two-Cent Daffodil
The Two-Cent Daffodil My Nana Pat, with a careful hand and eye, Would've loved this stamp, a piece of sky. Two daffodils, sun-kissed and so bright, Held in a square of soft, creamy light. I can picture her now, with her albums open wide, A small world of paper and ink by her side. With tweezers so gentle, she'd settle each one, A...

Premium Member When the Truth Broke in Two
I remember the first question I never had the courage to speak. I feared I would not receive an answer, and feared even more if I did. words were born from hunger, not from dreams.

One Coin, Two Sides
What's true for you even if it is insanity may not be the same for me as we each have our own reality 'There's two sides to every coin' some are said to say 'But what about the edge, when one is on display, showing tails and the obverse?' as a numismatist I insist even a mirror reflects the reverse yet when confronted with a conundrum maybe...

Summer is a time of wanderlust and fun with long days and warm nights A season to enjoy the outdoors as we cultivate our many gardens of life The days are now getting shorter as nature slowly starts to rest into slumber Hummingbirds take their last sip of nectar before their fall departure Leaves start to transform from...
