Logan and I

He may be my nephew and not my child but raising him has been my biggest challenge and my greatest honor.

Depression

This is a bit of a long one, however, so is the battle and therefore quite fitting.

Time

Just the words that find me.

Somewhere are we

Rolling thoughts of being.

The Parable of Mama Duck

Just a random allegory from my silly self.

Old Friend

Just in a mood I guess.

Bo's Box

I just miss him so much; he was my best friend in the whole world and there will never be another like him.

Pixiechild

People change; that's life.

I will walk on.

Missing you again.

Bestest Friends

Not all friends are people or even sentient.

No more.

I wrote this piece for a contest whose theme was Domestic Abuse and though I personally have only encountered one instance of abuse I have known personally many others who suffered greatly.

Lyrics of a past life

I wrote this for a contest and it is the first time I have ever tried to write a rap so be gentle. Please note the lyrics are meant to remain true to the main stream rap general themes.

My Handsome Man...

To my dearly departed cat <3 El Gato Diablo Grande Bambino Winslow <3 or as we liked to call him "Bo." I miss you so much already. :'( 16 years seems long but is really very short.

Just stop it!

Seriously just stop.

Going home

Growing up in the woods of Maine taught me a lot about what's really important in life and I think looking back on those memories and lessons are important to retaining a semblance of humanity.

Old Love

Weary ramblings of a love sick heart.

"Wrong"

My opinion and I feel it strong enough to issue this warning: don't try and argue with me, it is not a debate and it is not an opinion that you can change.

Long in the toof

A teasing poem that I hope makes you chuckle but don't get your hopes up humor in writing is not my strong suit. XD

Shattered moments

Not really sure what happened here, just sat down to write and here's the result.

Mother's Pride

Estrogen's hitting hard today.

Loathe to love

This is what happens when I attempt to write a humorous poem... I think it's safe to say I failed. XD lol.

Take Heed

Just a lil' something to ponder.

As the feather falls down.

A light expression.

All that was

Short and bittersweet.

Here we remain

Frustrations of current events coupled with a build up of angst and depression. Enjoy :)

Where I'm from...

A poem I wrote for my English class

Here and now

How I feel about our current state.

Change..

Cryptic to say the least.

Remember when

Reminiscing again :)

Waiting

Not sure, just came out this way. Guess I've been spending too much time around babies!

Kati

I'm angry because you knew, but I'm sad because it wasn't enough.

In the distance

Sometimes I just can't stand it.

Victory at long last..

It being election day and all.

Beyond our grasp

This was inspired by E.L.'s awesome write, "Death"

Dad

Sorry, just had to get it out.

Rain come and wash away the pain

Wet is always better ;)

Mine

Of all the nonsensical things there is love.

Sad Dog Days

If you ever loved, ever felt for even an instant the joy of it, then this will hurt you, and hurt you right, because sometimes to love is to suffer and in this we must make peace.

Oliver over the edge

This is a short story based on a few random philosophies on life after death. Someday I intend to lengthen it and possibly make it into a novel but until then I am just experimenting with the concept.

Penny for a thought?

A rant of sorts.

Shh

Quite time.

Dear God,

This is from the perspective of a mental incapacitated homeless person so it's a bit strange, (to say the least!), so yeah.....

Diamond Minds

This is half a rant and half a poem smashed together into one deformed creature! So, treat it nicely or it just may turn on you..... :P

What's a dollar?

I thought this one up after giving a homeless man a couple bucks to get something warm because it was 20 degrees outside at the time. :/ Made me wonder why some many people are so stingy with change.

Fearmonger

What I fear most, besides immortality....

Hurt me nicely

Weird and NOT from personal experience so don't get nervous.

It

This one is rather old, but none the less, mine.

Tenderly, Roughly

I don't know, something that probably should've stayed in my head but simply couldn't due to a build up of certain types of frustrations. ;)

When I'm old and lonely

Simply the words in my head.

Forgive and Forget

Revolt; and spew the sickness that has held your tongue from truths.
