Today a birthday from lost love

Maybe he’s celebrating up above?

Whatever and wherever I’ll do my best

And live this day remembering his zest.

Life is challenging at the age of twelve

Many ideas for your mind to delve

Making moves as others wish

In glass bowls with no fish

Judgment always by your peers

Never changes through the years

You can only try to do your best

As if you’re playing a game of chess.

Icy butterflies

Only winter’s specialty

Delicate visions

What I wouldn’t give

For a chance to live

Outside these caged-in walls

Bask among home’s icy falls.

Living here in the zoo

You see me and I see you

I might look scary that is true

But would you like to live in a zoo?

If I was home in the Arctic

It would be cathartic

I could live and roam free

There, you could visit me!

My Story Could start with my time in Vermont. I was born in New hampshire and the first in my family born in a hospital. I left New England at the Age Of nineteen. Texas was my destination and a Relatively naive girl was Initiated into a new land with strange talking, prejudiced people and Orientated into a completely different lifestyle than she knew before. This was an eye opening experience, not entirely bad, as I look back on it today. However, I do wonder who that girl would be today if she had never left the safety of her original home.

Australian fires

Devastating heat and flames

Destroying the land

Where is the mercy of rain

Needed liquid salvation

Jerry scrambled up the stairs to the bathroom. His brother was surprised, as Jerry hardly ever ran to or from anything. Joe followed him into the room, asking if he was okay.

Jerry ignored him and took a number of items from the pharmacy bag, setting them on the bathroom counter. “It’s fine, Joe. I just need you to help me with this hair dye.”

“What? Why are you dying your hair?”

“I just realized, gentlemen prefer blondes.”
