A ‘Fake it Till You Make it’ Poem-“Facade”


She walks down the crowded street
Dodging faceless people
Needing to push on
To be somewhere on time.

She needs to have somewhere to be

As I wait with my back to the door Continue reading “A Poem About Leaving the Nest-“Silence””

Next you towered over me
Still I found safety in your arms.

For a while I wanted to be
Wherever you stopped to rest
Still seeking out your lap
Feeling secure within the nest.

By the time I reached the table top Continue reading “A Poem “Mother”- A Cinderella Story”
