Courage

courage, Free Verse, strength, whispers, wind in my ear

Sometimes it slips in
Like a wind in the ear
Not loud
Just persistent
Soft sibilant sound
Whisperingly
Reminding me
I am strong and
I can stand to face
Whatever I must
At that time

And I have to be sure
It’s not simply a falsehhod
A bravad?

Cleaning Blues

Free Verse, humor, humour

You bit me!
Me, who was handling so gently
Cleaning you so lovingly
Carefully sudsing you
In the sink

Then you bit me!
Now I’m mad at you

Silly scissors anyway

What Happens

Tags

being human, Free Verse, life

What happens in our lives matters
Maybe only to us
But it matters
It can take us to the moon
It can make us feel like we’re nothing
It can be a beginning
Or an end
Because it happened
And it affected us

It affected us
