It started small in school in the class and the secret notes

Didn’t I have enough to worry about with books and totes

Someone put a note with gray tape to the side of my desk

Round packaged gumballs were stuck like eggs in a bird nest

This fun note should get her quiet undivided complete attention

Her hair and makeup today looked fine but talking gets a detention

Who could this secret sweet t...

Her beautiful fairytale hair blew in the breeze like feathered birds

The castle was noticeably darker and empty without any words

The usual daily request was silent of “let down your hair” now

She looked around but didn’t see or hear words frowning her brow

Where was she the evil queen that is generally tugging at my locks

Flashes of white lights and unknown wires arrived in with empty talks

Wo...

The new fridge arrived in its sparkling gleaming boasting he won

The big burley men wheeled it in while we sat in the old used one

Our owners of the wooden house we live in needed a cool change

It’s seems that old used appliances were very easy to rearrange

Those big men I speak of suddenly grabbed our fridge to move it

We were being expelled to the dusty dark basement that isn’t lit

Cords we...

My family didn’t have much cash but we worked hard every day

We did our chores and laundry taking it to the washer for no pay

There was a new woman who just started working there now

She smiled as she folded the clothes her grin was wide some how

She saw us kids and said ‘always look for the change’ you know

The quarters that fed the washer and dryer locked up with her to go

Once in a while she...

The long weekend started with the planning of camping

Not staying in a hotel or cottage or even fancy glamping

We packed up the camper/truck and set out with the dogs

Driving to New Hampshire was beautiful and we saw frogs

There were alot of adults and their kids and dogs and such fun

We made new friends that do this every year and it was the one

Rain and storms waited for us until the end of ...

I remember the day that the coin was tossed about who would fight

We heard about this from the others and they spoke of that night

The homemade swords were made years ago and waiting for this time

You really didn’t know who your opponent was or did they spare a dime

Brutiscus was his name engraved on his huge shield that was made to protect

He was new in the village and some have seen the might...

My memories of the jewelry box is gathering elderly dust

Sparkling rings and bracelets once lived on my arm a must

The once filled closets with gowns and dresses now hung alone

No one wanted those clothes after the change of me and my home

I still remember the day that flight I took to the far away place in bad weather

Little did I know that plane ride changed my human form to bird with feather...

The traces appeared straying away that day from my heart

Useless empty words left on invisible paper ripped apart

My once proud self lifted up my honorary chin and held high

The brain that god gave me started planning with his first lie

I am a writer by trade so I began my journal of note to spy

Keeping my inner thoughts to myself and keeping an eye

Late night last minute dinners and meeti...

Fall has spoken to cancel plans to go for a camp up north today

Being from Cape Cod and not realizing the cold storm at play

My summers sand is quiet now as the swim is now over

Now as the tide changes and the cow is eating clover

The beautiful suits and beach towels are packed away

Due to the weather report that was told to that day

Summer had its last cup of the dark unknown ocean sea

Fal...

My daily bike ride took me places in the mountains far away

No one but my mate who was with me could ride that way

My family who lives in the lower kingdom got letter today

It seems that it is my time to be taken as my number play

I stormed out of the house and took off on my fast bike

The years of riding made me a racer in my way I do like

My family also rode their bikes but in the darkness o...
