What brings couples together that last? Is it a commonality in their past? Perhaps they have both played a sport, or met at an all-inclusive resort. Maybe they were introduced at a party both laughing at a joke heartily, or maybe they bumped together in the rain, and then, acknowledged each others pain. Maybe they… Continue reading Together

Black Friday Beast
Oh, Black Friday, you most glorious and heinous beast! Shoppers win deals, and run around without cease; saving hard-earned dollars to give gifts of cheer, to those they deem worthy - the same, year after year. But the days of orderly madness have come to an end, as another shopper gets trampled, hoping not dead… Continue reading Black Friday Beast
Drawing Down Winter
Drawing down winter brings in the cold... from outside to inside, then into my bones. Arthritis flares up and makes me feel old, drawing down winter brings in the cold. To rid us of snow, I need to get bold, icy wind blows as I scrape down to stones. Drawing down winter brings in the… Continue reading Drawing Down Winter
British TV
I might be an Anglophile, 'cause I love British TV; though if I am, its okay, no one is mocking me. Comedies are great, the dramas are better but my heart truly lies amongst the mystery. The ladies - Ms. Marple, Thyme, and Rosemary - and the Inspectors: Morse, Poirot, Lewis and Lynley, they… Continue reading British TV
Ode to Pizza
Oh glorious and gooey cheese the more of thou there is, doth please stretching higher and ever more near until that snap, which causes fear. Will that fear release as we embrace? Oh, thick and sweet sauce robust bursts of flavor upon my tongue garlic, onion, olive oil, tomato mix upon fresh ground oregano.… Continue reading Ode to Pizza
The Facebook Hole
When I’m getting onto Facebook I feel like I am Alice. I go down into the rabbit’s hole, see joy, humor, wit and malice. Oh, Facebook how can you take from me, my free time - an hour or two or three? You’re a demon sucking time, as I watch another heart-felt meme. … Continue reading The Facebook Hole
Autumn (a Poem)
Apples, red and green, spilling from the trees. Pulling pumpkins from the garden, everything’s deceased. Spices wafting up from pie, cobblers dripping oats, fruity cider with cinnamon, hot drinks begin to flow. Football games outdoors require hoods and fleece. Watch the breath mist out, squeezing hands up long sleeves. Smoke billows from houses as fireplaces… Continue reading Autumn (a Poem)
A Honey-crisp Apple Sonnet
Your shiny tight skin bursts in hues of red to green, my watering mouth hurts as I’m washing you clean. You loose memories free from a distant childhood, I think of Grandma’s tree, climbing up the hard wood. Crunching bites tangy sweet just a little too tart Green apples couldn’t be beat except… Continue reading A Honey-crisp Apple Sonnet
