There’s no way I can condone this, never

There’s a flurry in the sky, what the heck!

We’ve already had plenty of crazy weather

Guess I’ll pull my collar up, around my neck

Each night, as she approached the stairs

He would appear, but was not really there

Unsure, if it was simply her imagination

Wondering, if it was merely her own creation

Never could she find him, he was hidden well

Still, he held her, completely, under his spell

Spindles on the staircase, illuminated glow

Shadows in the hallway, dancing to and fro

Footsteps creaking, across the floor of tiles

They seemed to keep walking on, for miles

No matter where she turned, she was alone

The only sound around, a low, guttural groan

Twas the shimmer of a light, quite an eerie thing

Laughter at the doorway, made the doorbell ring

Why is it, he would toy with her, and scare her so?

Why was she chosen, perhaps, she’ll never know

Karma has a way – #poetry – #AprilWriting

It never happened before, no, not to her

She was always the one, who rejected

Now she sat alone, with life, just a blur

Not even the water, in the pool, reflected

How she was feeling, deep down inside

An emptiness, filled, the whole of her belly

Passing her by, heard remarks, rather snide

Her heart broken in two, legs feeling like jelly

She tried to ignore, but it was so hard to do

All she wanted was a little love, and affection

But karma has a way of turning back on you

Its number one rule, no such thing as perfection

If we were to take the daredevil approach to life

Cast off, into the future, without any hesitation

We may not be prescient, though, we can strive

To build a better place, for our children’s foundation

The Versatile Blogger Award – Nominated by Sally Cronin – 7 things you may not know about me!

I’m honored to have been nominated by Sally Cronin for the Versatile Blogger Award. Although my blog is Award Free, I thought I’d give this one a go.

The rules of the Versatile Blogger Award are as follows:

If you are nominated, Congratulations you have been awarded the Versatile blogger award!
Thank the person who gave you the award and include a link to their blog.
Select 10 -15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly.
Nominate those bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award.
Tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.

Seven things about me you might not know…..

  1. I was in the wedding industry for 15 years before I decided writing is where I should have been all along.  There’s a distinct possibility that a lot of my dark writing comes from this time period.  While I was successful, I was not happy.
  2. I will never discuss, nor comment, on any political posts.  I respect that everyone has an opinion, and I may agree or disagree with it.  But I will not argue over it.  I like my friends too much to ever have that split us up.  😉
  3. Hubby and I dated for two weeks before calling it quits in a not so nice way.  Three years later, we met again, and have been together ever since. (38 yrs). This July, we will be celebrating 34 years married.  Our friends all said we wouldn’t last.  Guess we showed them!
  4. I have a very poor memory.  It stems from my condition.  I do not remember things you may have told me two minutes ago. This has proven to be quite a problem while trying to complete my novel.  It takes me more time to reread everything, and I probably still won’t remember it.  It’s very frustrating.
  5. I’m a huge fan of Winnie the Pooh, and Woodstock.
  6. My one goal in my life is to see the Northern Lights.  I guess you could say it’s tops on my Bucket List!  I have friends who take pictures of them all the time, and I find myself rather dreamy eyed looking at it.  But if I start drooling, then it’s time for a straight jacket!
  7. I was a huge crafter, doing needlepoint, before I lost the ability of my left hand, to do so.  I used to do craft shows all over New Jersey.  I really miss it, and keep wondering if there is a way for me to attempt it again.

So there you have it. Kinda blase. Seven things about me you may not have known. Now it’s my turn to nominate 10-15 bloggers I think are versatile.  I have never been one for following rules, so, I am opening this up to all of you, because as far as I’m concerned, you’re all versatile in your own way!!  Have fun with it!

❤ , Dorinda
