Enjoy A Pout

The requital morning yanked Six hairs from my Flared nostrils. Carefully, I doled out generous helpings of Angry snaps To three members Of my family. They also whipped Through our home, torching other family members’ faces, Singeing their angry ears. By then the morning was airborne. By eight-thirty, The house could breathe a lonely Sigh.Continue reading “Enjoy A Pout”

Small diamonds daintily sewed together to form bigger diamonds. Then there were stars with small lines of flowers that go through. The stars were bordered twice by straight floweryContinue reading “LOVE, Tried & Proved™”
