Friend of a Friend

I have always been

A friend of a friend

To my adoptive sister

Her friends she places first

Always dismissing my presence

If I was included, it was out of pity

If she felt so inclined

This has gone on for so many years

She knows just how to treat me

To belittle me in front of all

Even now, our golden years

She has the power to turn

My own boys against me

Making me a friend of a friend

To my own children

Someone that is not thought

twice about

LOST IN PARIS

I remember those chairs

Old Parisian men drinking wine

Or dark coffee

I traveled from New York to Belgium

Then a train to Paris

Rocking and rolling along the beautiful

Farmlands and villages between the two locations

All along the way with suite case and

Carrying blue and yellow sneaker roller skates

Over my shoulder

          How I love to roller skate

I traveled with nine other want a be models

All hoping and praying to make it big

Each day was another adventure

All of us going in different directions

From the flat we rented for the month

On one afternoon, I set out in my roller skates

Not knowing the streets of Paris, but yet

Usually having a good sense of direction

I set off to explore the neighborhood

I found myself going around in circles

In front of those chairs in that café,

And on each revolution

The men applauded me

For I was jiggling all over

          Because I was lost on the cobblestones of Paris

SUNRISE

 Awaken at sunrise

as the red mountains

exhaled the golden sun

as it plays within the creases

making faces it the shadows

of the rocks

creating another masterpiece

God has made, as I try to duplicate

this amazing sight... through painting

and fail, for tomorrow he will revise

the sunrise of today making it

yet another even more beautiful day 

Another poem accepted

Another poem accepted for this New Year!    Look for it Soon here!

2012 THE FIRST SUNSET OF THE NEW YEAR

The first Sunset of the New Year.

Just Love the Colors!

The saying here is 

God Created the Grand Canyon 

But he lives in Sedona 

I wait for God's painting lesson

Each night an original 

Knowing I can never follow 

A show like this!

Mindful writing prompt #27: Mantra

I Am Me 1/4/2012

I am me

I am me

I am me

No more being abused

emotionally

I am me

I am me

I am me

The actions of others

do not define me

I am me

I am me

I am me

The place I want to be

Is here and now

I am me 

I am me

I am me

Where else can I be me?

Start building a river

“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise."
~ Sylvia Plath

THE GUTS

Writing has saved my soul

Throughout the many years

Yet the “Guts” to write

On taboo subjects

Makes me whisper

I am me!

Now I’ll show where

The truths, lies

From the beginning

Until now.

Strings and Strands

Strings and Strands                                               Voxpoetica Prompt 12-31-2011

I have been caught up in the strings

Tangled like a marionette

Someone else always knowing

Which ones to tug or pull on for my heart

Leaving strands of color swirling in my sight

Was it this Christmas or last

Where all the tree lights changed to only white

Christmas’s past, was filled with colored lights

And strands of popcorn, beads of multi colors

When the tree was finally trimmed and plugged in

The entire world tasted

The rainbows of Christmas

And kissed in New Year’s

          With peppermint breathe
