Hot chips, pickles, ice cream...until it all climaxes one day with a scream! How far … Continue reading “Not My Best Friend”
“Beauty Is Pain”
Pretty faces Thick in places Small waists(es) Hair from Asians All the cuties have self-esteem issues Pass the tissues Thick red-bones, even tones, and dark ones Take offense to the others' beauty The way her hair has a kink or two Or the way the others' butt is too huge Undersized are her lips Overflowing … Continue reading “Beauty Is Pain”
“Kid Sister”
I wrote this for my little sister as she turned life's pages... In the footsteps of strong women, few wear the shoes...

Some months are warmer than others. Follow the equinoxes and solstices of this piece. Can you relate? Arrows through the heart However not of Cupid's … Continue reading Wounded
