I'll post new stuff as I write it. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/irishturtlebain/360069/ I live with chronic pain and grew up athiest (I'm agnostic now). I always found it hard why He lets us live in pain. I've always had this poem in my heart, I was just never able to express it. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/irishturtlebain/139652/ I grew up with a crocheted blanket (with scalloped edges) knitted by my mother. This is about a day I took my sisters challenge declaring I couldn't cut my woobie (she could). http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/irishturtlebain/132004/ I'm estranged from my parents because they didn't agree with the man I married. However we have been together for ten years now, you'd think they'd be happy for my happiness but at times you have to cast aside family to attain happiness. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/irishturtlebain/130940/ This poem is based on our younger cat Zoe. I had to write a poem of some form for my Creative Writing class and this is the result. It's been my springboard to write other poems. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/irishturtlebain/130384/
