I miss Vicki
Poetess sublime
Nature is her nurse
She wrote her essence every time

I don’t know why she left
Like Aretha, made me cry
Whatever drove her off
I just want to say good-bye

Her comments-wise, encouraging
With love she shared her best
You’re sorely missed, Dear Vicki
Farewell Dear Poetess

Vicki was so welcoming when I came to HP, and her gift as a poet unsurpassed. Perhaps she'll get her fine work published. Namaste, Terry

Let it snow

Let it snow outside
I'll stay here at the fireside
Wrapped in a blanket
Hot cocoa in hand

Infamous one

Q:210

Walk down stairs to hear the morning gossip
Everyone talks about one another
Eventually eat my breakfast head back up stairs
Waking up physically to start the day
Mentally composing my thoughts
Want to be involved with family
Learned it's best to stay away
Do my own thing find my own way
Makes it easy to leave than stay
Things are great no one cares ignored
Once something goes wrong everyone notices
Keep that head up even when times are tough
Just wanted belong feel apart of something
Without giving up part of myself
A huge price to pay to be accepted
Be a member of the group not be criticized
Not be used or taken forgranted

WHO LET THE ELEPHANT INTO THE ROOM?

Yeah, I’ll say it,
No, I am not scared,
It’s been here all day
Does anyone care?
Yes! I am sober,
I am not seeing pink,
We try to ignore it,
But frankly....it stinks,
Some ignore it,
Yes, I tried,
But something this big cannot be denied
Its bound to get messy,
Where is the broom,
Who let the elephant into the room?

Sometimes you can't ignore the obvious.

remembertoforgetremembertoforgetremember

a sticky note on my fridge
says, "remember to forget"
written on all the mirrors
says, "remember to forget"
engraved in my mind
says, "remember to forget"
under my breath i chant,
"remember to forget"
before i go to sleep i cry,
"remember to forget"

but after all of these precautions,
i still find that the harder i try to forget
the easier it is to remember

or maybe i simply don't want to let go

Friends

They say you should keep your enemies closer than you keep your friends
Good thing I go to bed with myself every night

I want to break free

I want to break free
Free from my thoughts
I seek the words
No, they all go unheard
I want to break free
Oh!! How I want to break free

I have tried too many times
The thoughts and the words both zoned out, they can’t keep time
God knows,
Knows that
I want to break free

It is strange but it’s true, HP
I have changed settings ( hide explicit to show) and can read many works, maybe all
God knows,
Knows that it’s true , HP
Irrespective of the content,
I can read , many and maybe all
I want to break free
Oh!! How I want to break free, HP

I want to be sure,
When I walk out that door
I want the thoughts and words to abide
I can’t think of living without, living without
Thoughts and words by my side ....
God knows
Knows that I want to break free

Partly~ largely, most certainly inspired by
Queen - I want to break free .

South-by-Southwest

I Sailed

I sailed away from the
Bay of Dismay
Of my recent past

I left the land
of the midnight's voice
I buried the remains

Now I long to return
To dig up all
That could remain

But I would imagine
Not even worms
Would be in the remains

It's been
Way too long
To learn how to sing

Since cancer cut me down
I only hope I will fly
With my broken wings

No I will not return
For the truth died there
As the bell of life so tolls
