"THE PAUSE BEFORE THE CHOICES"

Take a step back and analyse.

Listen to some sounding advice.

Do you like what you see?

Are you longing to be free?

Think three steps ahead.

Saturday Before Easter

Sheep to decorate.

Spring clothes to find.

Lamp port to tie bows on.

Icy lime pie to make.

Take Se' to HAIR appointment.

As always, cat litter and laundry.

October SAD

Cool, quiet and sad.

Getting ready for winter seclusion.

Aloneness.

Imprisoned by cold.

A moat of ice surrounding this tone castle.

My prince yelling at me and ordering me to love this dark and frozen season.

Gather Round Me Nest

Oh gather these things round me.

Round my room and into boxes marked "new".

The money spent is silly in exuberance and steward-less sinfulness.

Two hundred dollar leather wool boots and Costco matters.

Pregnant and driven with unknown, excited anticipation.

Out with the old and chipped and into the broken boxes goes my MAINE home.

just like you.

This face represents me.

This is part of my identity.

How to recognise me,

"YOUR TROPHIES?"

What is it with people like you?

You treat everything a competition,

all in the name of public acknowledgment.

You flaunt your fortunes,

clearly fishing for compliments.

"SYSYPHUS MUST'VE BEEN A HUMAN PINBALL"

How can you catch a break

at the never-ending hurdles before you?

The bumps and cracks are nothing new.

More endless tasks to finish too.

Sysyphus must’ve been a human pinball,

"NO COMMENT!"

What you choose to believe

will affect how you perceive.

A picture’s worth a thousand words,

or possibly less or more.

There’s more than meets the eye.

"SLANDER"

Nobody wins.

Everybody loses.

Stories told,

bought and sold.

Facts versus fiction.

"AN EMPTY ROOM"

No more magic?

Why vacant as it is?

Who took all of it?

Nothing to pick.

Dementors have resided,
