Margaretville
Living the good life in Key West that week was a double edge sword. I attempted to satisfy myself with fancy, coconut infused rum drinks garnished with spears of fresh pineapple nestled between Maraschino cherries. Sporting a new bikini and a choice spot…

Dead Fish
Blackened and lifeless, orange scales still shimmer.
When we left ten days ago, you swam with the other two, no signs of distress. Perhaps, three…

Going Back
Barren and sullen, space creates memory.
Pour, fill, and satisfy.
More and more, it’s never enough.…

Another Brown Barbie
“Look, another Barbie Mama!!” This one is a magical brown-skinned mermaid with a turquoise fanned fin and iridescent fabric is partially covering her svelte body; two permanent clam shells cover her breast that sit above her minuscule waist. I hand the laminated box to my mama so…

Hungry for Sex, yet Not Really - "Sexy Touch *Challenge*
It’s okay to be celibate, really, just get into it, I try to convince myself, flipping the Rigatoni Alla Buttera from side to side on the oversized plate. I spear the ridged pasta with my fork and lick the savory cream sauce off the slippery noodle sucking it in gradually, biting…

Phone Greg
I dialed the phone, nervous yet curious, anticipating our first phone meeting. Blending a smooth tone with an energetic spirit, his voice aroused me…

Be Mine?
It was her turn, the third generation of women with a botched marriage.
“Can’t any of you get this right?” the ghost whispered over her shoulder.…

Feed
The tabby, eyes eternal as fine amber unite with mine and I fill his dish.
The bunny, merrily dances circles as I stand still as a mulberry bush, she stops for a moment to accept green leaves.
The sleepy, sable eyes of the hamster pry wide open and I offer him striped seeds as he rises up on his miniature legs.
And the congregating birds; nuthatches, cardinals, red bellied woodpeckers, blue jays, juncos, wrens and chickadees,… Continue

The Right Time
Finding the beauty perched on the windowsill; she was mesmerized by its wings of gold with stripes of brilliant black leading to a touch of scarlet and blue.
“I’m sorry you were born in January, this is not the right time for you, is it?” she said sorrowfully to the delicate creature.
An unexpected houseguest that typically might have shown up in June, she offered it orange slices and sugar water.
Wings fluttered… Continue

Without Its Bird
Examining it in her right palm, it will never weigh any amount.
The air at rest mimicked the two hundred year old magnolia tree that bowed before her.
This feather is not for keeping she understood, and with lips pursed she blew ever so softly, imagining it dancing gracefully back to the land.
Not this feather.
Flying without its bird, swaying with sun trimmed edges, it… Continue

Golden Elephants
Joining them, I sat down on my velvety, cobalt couch that dips in the middle from my bunny having plucked out the cotton stuffing.
“Now miss,” the first elephant spoke, the one with the royal magenta scarf, “When are you going to stop worrying?”
But before I could answer, the second elephant wearing a taffeta tutu with violets intricately stitched around the waist gently nudged him, “The question is honey,”… Continue
Nothing Alike
She is breaking away, the way a twelve year old instinctively does.
Her slight, lingering limbs are graceful as determination satiates every bone.
She carries on as a dictator, her past life spirit clutching firm to its former self.
Desire pulls her far from me, as she chants “We are nothing alike.”
I understand, I am nothing like my mother, except she reminds me often that I am.
I Remember (New Year Challenge - What do you Remember?)
I remember being confused at nine years old when I returned home from a summer trip to Ohio and my dad explained to me that my mom went away for a while, suggesting that I should write her a letter.
I remember the soft skin of my grandma’s arm while she rested in her chair and I tickled her fluffy arm, then she… Continue

Gita’s Lottery Challenge - Play it Straight
“Honey, I want you to play 723 today, that was grandma’s number. Just play a dollar straight or whatever you can afford; it would have been her one hundredth birthday today. Grandma always hit big with this number and I know you are struggling, just think if you won, this would really help you.”
I agreed and grabbed a pen, inscribing 723 on my palm… Continue

Dear Friend
Is it dark and cool, comforting and warm?
You left on this brisk and stormy morning, your mind not wanting to go so soon.
The body that carried you for all of those years, with a beating heart as good as gold,
ceased while you slept.
And I, a part of you, dear friend.
And you, a part of me dear friend.

The Snowman
formed , frozen snow.
Twigs wide open
welcome me home.
A warm heart swayed tiny hands
to surprise a touched girl.
An ice-covered gift.
A sparkling statue of undivided love.
Finn did it again.
