So many colors
From which to choose

And what do I pick?
A shade of blue

Each time I see it
It causes me fear

The moment draws closer
Wait! It’s already here!

Another slash, really?!
So many hours ahead

One more on the next page
I’m now filled with dread

Each paragraph
So carefully planned

Is filled with markings
From my very own hand

I guess you can tell
I’m up to my eyeballs in edit

If it keeps going this way
I think I’ll just shred it!

Each day she would steal to the forest

Fold her hands in a silent prayer

Close her eyes, tilt her head up

And hope no one was listening there

The forest held all her secrets

Every day brought another to light

Sylvia’s past always haunted her

She came here, to makes things right

Silently whispering among fallen leaves

For autumn had come early, this time

Verses, only the knowing could hear

Her paradox, written in rhyme

Colors whirl, around and about

As the wind whistles quickly through

Spinning a palette of joyous delight

In a neighborhood garden, or two

Different shapes, some round, some not

Some on a pole, of bamboo

Always thrilling those passing by

With a sight, so beguiling, and true

Ashes Breathe the Fire of Life
Rising from Smoldering Flames
Frenzied and Fevered
She Ignites a Spark
Captivating her Claim

Unearthly Desires Swirl from within
Kindling a Blaze, Incandescent
Charred and Blackened
She Leaves a Mark
Her Fiery Heart, Incessant

She did it on purpose, I know it!
Put those gross little things in the stew
Tried to disguise them as potatoes
Leaving me no choice, but to spew

Carrots and peas, flying everywhere
Beef, shredded, more than before
Those torturous turnips, defeated
I threw the rest of them on the floor!

 

Partially based on a true story. I never ate my mother-in-law’s stew again lol
