Ant Bites Sting

taken from one of my school classmates emails that came in today:
My dog, Tango, without our knowledge sat on an ant pile and you should have seen him jump straight up. Even with all that hair ant bites sting.

Her World

She is now the new family face

A long love decided to go to a new unknown place

She is left dealing with issues oh so steep

She now must hurldle over the heap

Thank God she has the two little lights in tow

Hurt feelings please die off swiftfully - she begs not to feel so low

No going back - she is as inconsequential as piled up snow you never get through

Dirty snow that she will carry her two papooses through - over oblivion -

eager to

His World

Stone walls do not a prison make,

- Nor iron bars a cage;

Minds innocent and quiet take

-that for an hermitage

If I have freedom in my love,

- And in my soul am free,

Angels along, that soar above,

- Enjoy such liberty.

'Heredity' by Thomas Hardy

The Cheerleader

The skirt – all red a flow
The hair – growing, but still a ways to go

The face - oval, and prettier too
The shoes – feels like same shoes walked in long ago twice before
- unpleasant feelings, never knew

The love – undying still for a short while
The music – an ear for it, passion too
The cheer – here’s where it went wrong
- not much cheering towards the end, lost sight of importance
The fall – plunging down to the arms so trusted
- the decision was made to let go

his ‘heart was not in it anymore’

An Open Road

I'm the prettiest mess you've ever seen

There was truly just one that captured my soul
This love - I knew would last forever

I too easily gave him my heart
And he left the thing stinging

The musician in him longing to get out
The noose released - he's now free

I envision him soon being miles away with his new love
walking happily down a path of what he really wanted anyway

He chose to leave so much behind

Why does life have to be so unkind?

Rembering all the good times
I am heavier than I have ever been

Refusing to carry the weight might get me through
My hazy new world lies out there somewhere

My life - lying open - a road in front of me
I can't help but wonder where it will go

I must find truth next time

I won't go through this again
I know me
I'm wonder woman, or so i'm told
