It was years since she could remember
How it felt to be in these shoes
Lacing them up with perfection
Unassuming, his delicate muse

Her pirouette, exquisite and airy
On her toes, twas so easy to see
How it came back to her, so quickly
As she danced with the forest and tree

He adored her, her grace was endless
Every elegant movement she made
How could he have left her behind?
Why on Earth had she even stayed?

For her beauty took his breath away
He knew now he’d never go far
His ballerina, his fantasy come true
Yes, she was his one shining star

Self-doubt is a lousy affliction

Some even call it an addiction

I just need some desire

To reach up and aspire

Thus, hitting my goals, with conviction

*

Though pinches of positivity

Could bring about creativity

Need to believe who I am

And get with the program

Sounds like the perfect activity!

One morning while sanding my deck

(Which by the way is a pain in the neck)

I fell down in a hole

Met a cute little troll

Now I live there, too, what the heck

 

Inspired by a true event (sans the troll).

She is
A frozen beauty
In the night
The aurora
Of lights

Shimmering

Cold

Dark

Deadly

A vision
Reflecting
Jewels
Gleaming
The crown
She holds

Alluring

Her offer

Enticing

Accept it, and she will freeze
Your soul

Whatever shall I make for dinner?

The cupboard is bare, nothing new

It has to be something that’s tasty

I know! I’ll make some alphabet stew

I can’t remember where I put them

Those letters, always on the loose

I need to gather enough of them

To allow me, this stew, to produce

Finally finding the package

I take what I need to proceed

An S, a U, two P’s and an E

Exactly the letters I need

But wait! Something is missing

This really is quite bizarre

I thought I had it altogether

But my supper is missing its R
