I had the concept
From an early age
Reading books
This would be my life.
Somehow it all was lost
The view sullied
Dreams come true
Disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Clouds rolled over the sun
Bitterness wanted to prevail
Faith and hope a saving grace
Now at peace.

Fifty is too long!
Let’s just do ten, okay?
Okay, we have to be out of the way fast!
Picking out a match from the box, Joey said, “ready?” and lit the firecracker they sneaked from dad’s garage. Their father had assembled a variety of fireworks for the Labor Day weekend at their grandpa’s farm.
The boys were city dwellers and had no concept of the rules where no fireworks were allowed. On the farm there was a nice open field with safety not an issue, but little boys don’t think that way.
The countdown complete, fuse started to burn, and two lads seeking adventure got a big surprise. The firework choice was longer and louder than expected. Several neighbors came running out of their apartments expecting to see a gunfight. 911 was called, the boys severely questioned and the dad embarrassed to admit, yes, he did have illegal fireworks.

They all laughed at the sound
Grandma being pushed around
Almost took all of them
To push her up the sidewalk when
Ol’ Daisy started out a song
The rest began to sing along
“Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Cause my legs are swollen
Rest my doggies rollin’, you guys!
Through all kinds of weather
Hell bent with no tether
Wishin’ my love was by my side
All the things I’m missin’
Good meal, love and kissin’
Are waiting at the end of this ride”.

“I liked the rush, I liked the crunch. Never did look back at the fallout.” He had it coming. I kept looking back, but we weren’t followed. Free at last I thought!
Hiring a hit man wasn’t an option, even though my oldest friend had connections. We used to joke about it the way you do with a friend, even though we knew it was true. I did rely on her for details, how to commit the crime, and so far, it worked.
Jerry was one of those life of the party types, all the girls loved him, until you were really serious and suffered the consequences. That’s what happened to me. No one talked about it in those days–abuse from a lover. If only I had been warned, but it was a secret shameful thing no woman wanted to admit.After a few weeks of dating, I felt the wrath of my drunken boyfriend, more the actions of a three year old boy than a friend. I also kept it to myself and ended up marrying him. I can tell you I loved him, even after the first punch, I can admit hiding my bruises, but no matter what I report you won’t understand it unless you were in my mind at the time.
The friend I mentioned earlier was my only confidant and after a while, we decided to make a plan. Las Vegas was the perfect spot for such a terrible plan, with many long stretches of uninhabited desert, and a reputation for hidden bodies. The only equipment we needed was a shovel, bleach, and the man.
Wise words from Cisco in “The Flash” series:
We’re the ones who created that Council of Dum Dums in the first place so if they’re not going to help us, that leaves us with one other plan–a new council, a smarter council, a better council.

Yes, they are disgusting! It gives me a chill just looking at this picture.
A true sad tale to report this week. Living in Houston had many disadvantages especially when you move into a house with cedar shingles. It seems roaches love cedar shingles. I was frightened of the big creepy crawlies in Texas, but never disgusting and abhorrent as roaches.
My husband left on a business trip and I was alone with three little ones in a new house where we had just moved. The surrounding houses had monthly visits from exterminators, so we followed suit the day he left.
Removing everything from the cupboards, I assembled items in the middle of the floor. After the required time to return inside with my kids, we started to replace the items to the cupboards. Imagine my horror as roaches scattered out from under those items. I felt I had to wash every single thing and called the exterminator to report what happened. There was no sleep in the house that night.

Heavy or lite
Gastronomical delight
Even adults will fight
Whether which is right
I prefer either in a stack with height.

Waking ground
Still too cold to move
Icy brook

Till melting
Morning sun relief
Welcomed warmth

I lament, bewail and fear
Trump policies I now hear
What matter of evils he doth spout
I prithee, throw the blackguard out!
From whence come his knotty-pated brain
A puzzle remains to solve in vain
Churlish speech is swaggered here
While grave notes prepend the mace’s fear.
