Hi friends,
I am in the hospital for some testing. Not sure when I’ll be home. This isn’t the way I wanted to end 2018 but as they say, shit happens.
Hope to be back soon…
Dorinda

These were not just ordinary flowers
Quite peculiar in an eerie sort of way
The more I looked at them, I knew
This wasn’t the place, for me, today
Faces started popping out, before me
Their clown-like grins, made me shiver
How could something so beautiful
Make my whole body quake and quiver!
I took off, down an odd shaped path
Hoping those purple pansies didn’t follow
Saddened, because I had left so quickly
But nothing here could make me wallow
I was afraid, to look over my shoulder
For fear I’d see an evil, floral parade
So, I kept walking, along the odd path
While, in the garden, the flowers stayed

Life can be filled with such deadly temptations
Each one promising much more than the other
So unless you’re ready for eternal damnation
Take heed, child, and listen, to your mother!!

Morning shyly woke
Wrapped in blankets of chaste snow
Blushed by winter’s sun

The fire had long gone out
Not even a spark remained
The clock on the wall said 2AM
And she was totally drained
She leaned against the stone
Perhaps, to feel some heat
Nary could a sound be heard
Only a thrum, like a heartbeat
She stood there, daydreaming
Knowing she should go to bed
When something eerie came over her
The alcohol had gone to her head
A sweet whisper over the silence
Shook her to her very core
Afraid to look to see who was there
Quickly, she ran, for the door
Finding there was no way out
She turned around, and then
Staring back at her, over her photo
Was dearly departed Gwen!
She screamed when realized who
Then froze, right where she stood
Gwen had no reason to come to her
She knew this couldn’t be good
Poor Sadie, she thought she was finished
When she shot her, with a gun full of lead
But Gwen wasn’t finished with Sadie
She would haunt her until she was dead
