A hiatus I believed...
To be well deserved and timely.

For too long I've spilled
copious amounts
upon non-judgemental paper.

For too long I've relied much
on the soothe of the written word.

A hiatus I thought...
Was necessary for I,
strive to go crutchless.
I strive to stand on my own.

But my legs are not yet strong.
And my fingers are jonesing

because my heart still bleeds ink.

In the undertones
Truth is known
Feel the sense of air relief
As forgiveness bestows
And for that one brief moment
Your countenance glows
Don't let strife
Be your thief

The Birthwaite Gardeners


The Birthwaite gardeners
are at it again
They work so hard
they look in pain
They have hung some bags
to protect their seeds
They don't mind the birds
taking the weeds
They dig by night
they dig by day
As they go along
their merry way

Did you ever leave
Your lover
Hungry and cold
Like leaving
A dog
On the side
Of the road

Did you ever
Get it back
All the year
That you missed
All the parties
And reunions
All that fun ****

By cutting ties
With your husband
And three little kids
Well my twenty
Year old wife
That's what she did

--Moral of the write--
Seventeen years old
Is far to young to be a bride
You see, It was my fault
For starting a family
Before it was time
