This Is Life

Whistling in the trees I hear the wind

Crashing on the shore I hear the waves

This is nature’s music


Next-door neighbor’s playing music

The bright sound travels on the wind

Deep drumbeats come in waves


Blasting different sound waves

The loudspeaker plays its music

The sound swept away by wind


Different waves

Different wind

Different music

These are the sounds of life...

Can You Cook?

The Tavern on the Water had the weather to thank for it’s good business that night. Alys adjusted the kerchief keeping her curly red hair out of her face and looked around to see if anyone needed a refill or anything of the like.


The room was loud, and laughter and chatter filled the space. The majority of the noise came from a group of rough-looking men on the other side of the room, but they we...

You Cannot Force Love

“Are you sure about this?” The queen whispered to her husband as the baby girl in her arms started to squirm.


“Absolutely.” Her husband whispered back. “It is the only way to be sure our kingdom will inherited by someone we can trust.”


“But if we do this, then Raelynn will have no choice. Furthermore, how can we truly know that Andre will become a trustworthy man?”


Edward sighed, realizing his ...

The Meeting

I step out of the clearing, the frosted grass crackling beneath my paws. In front of me lays The Pond, a sacred meeting place among my kind. It’s really more of a small lake, but no one ever mentions that. It’s been called The Pond as long anyone can remember.


The Pond holds a reflection of the night sky on it’s frozen surface. I can see every star and constellation without ever having to look up...

I Really Should Be Cleaning

Clothes hung in the closet

And nothing on the floor

That’s how it’s supposed to be

But oh, not anymore


Now all is in the closet

And the clothes are on the floor

A hurricane has happened

Or possibly a war


I really should be cleaning

I can’t even see my bed

But I opened up my phone

And now I’m writing this instead...

The Super-sized McShizzle

An oath to keep with a final breath

His love conquered even death

A flaming mechanic with sass to spare

He’s a character beyond compare


A genius inventor, part of the Seven

His ADHD is at level eleven

But he died in glory to save the world

Then came back, his story untold


He rescued his love from an island prison

But by then a new threat had arisen

So he put off his plans to help save us

His p...

If Then

If the sun hits my face

Then I’ll sink into it’s embrace

If the sky pours rain

Then I won’t complain

If I can see the stars

Then I’ll look for Mars

If all I see is a cloud

Then I’ll sing out loud

If gorgeous blooms are everywhere

Then I’ll smell the fragrant air

If flowers then must be forgone

Then I’ll say to bring it on

If all the lakes and rivers grow

Then I’ll say to let it flow

If the ocea...

Pathway

All around the sunlight glows

Next to me the river flows

I’m on a path of rock and sand

Come with me and take my hand

Let us travel through the trees

Enjoying nature’s cool, sweet breeze

To a place far, far away

Where we can forever stay...
