The Unexpected Plunge of Reginald Cluck
"What are you all quacking about?" squawked Reginald Cluck, Peering from his coop, quite out of luck. A drizzle had started, a timid, soft weep, While others still snoozed in feathery sleep. "A little rain never hurt anyone!" chirped Pip, Whose splash-prone spirit rarely would slip. He’d eye every puddle, a shimmering pond, With a gleam in his eye, quite remarkably fond. Reginald...

Unexpected Good Day
An Unexpected Good Day The morning sun rose in brilliant array, Promising the start of an unexpected day. Birds sang sweetly in the clear blue sky, A gentle breeze whispered as clouds drifted by. With joy in heart and a smile on face, I stepped outside to embrace the day's grace. A friend appeared, unplanned and true, Bringing laughter and warmth like the...

Premium Member Unexpected Happiness
My fellow patient scribbled a note on a piece of paper and passed it slowly across the table to me “Unexpected Happiness”, it read. This remains one of the handful of memories I have from spending some time in a mental asylum And to this date, the phrase remains my charter as it is how I decide to live...

Another Unexpected Sight

With her breasts exposed, her bra below, The cup part in the back Was fastened, then she slid it ‘round With quite a practiced knack. She covered up her boobs and then A t-shirt found its way As she slowly dressed right on...

When Grief Turns To Grave
No one told me the moment you parted. My disheartened heart left the room the moment I turned the corner, and saw his golden badge as he nodded in comforting dismay. That day My heart learned the rhythm of grief Slow Sickly The kind that brings you past your knees, and drives you six feet underground. Who needs two burials in one day?...

When Death Comes Unexpectedly
You had two months to live No one told you, no one warned you No one knew I can’t look you in the eyes I tried, a thousand times But what once felt safe seemed savage What once was certain proved damaged The wreckage was drastic Do I blame myself? Or do I blame you? You had two days to live No one told you, no...

When the princess kissed the frog on the lips, her heart burst in three, painful double skips. Then she sank to the floor, dead as a nail in a door. Yep ~ that's how they do fall sometimes ~ these chips....

Unexpected Love
Unexpected love is more magical than I thought. It pops up when you least expect it I almost forgot what true love really was until you showed up. After years of being heartbroken, and unhappy you came in and turned it all around just by the way you show me you care even if we're...

Unexpected
Did not wish to love another, To turn on this brother, Platonic now, or lover, Thinking of him under cover, Should I hurl fat bloomers, Passing by, his zoomers, Each has a fantasy, Would joyboy love old me? He smiles and waves,. Blows kisses I save, Time takes care of stuff, Can't love him enough, So unexpectedly, Open-ended booty! ...
