50 words: Authority
One of the 50 word challenges. . .
Jun. 11, 2008
Do not tell me NO!
I do not like authority.
Do not tell me what to do or what not to do!
Knowledge is done by experience, not by someone with an air-filled ego.
I agree to disagree with anyone in authority.
Did I say I don't likely authority?

"Taxes"
Have you ever
Felt like you just want
Run away and scream
While others are taking money
And pulling your hair
And everyone else understand
But they just don't care?
It's like a bad doctor's appointment
You're waiting to be accepted or denied
And after the second time
"You're like three times the charm," right?
Frustration in the shadows
Numbers from every direction
You're not sure if you a refund
Or it's just another deduction.
Days of Distraction
It was based on the days I just went through.

It started with words
And ended with words
It started with a smile
And ended with a kiss
It started with a hope
And ended on the edge
It started with a frustration
And ended with a blog
It started with an idea
But ended with a distant distraction
A few words got through
But in the end not as much was complete
Distraction wins again.

Pages turn
Words
Written
Filling the page
with meaning
Of hidden
messages
within the depths
Of a creative soul
Words to be told
more than silver
Greater than gold
Time fills pages
With historical moments
Of greatness
and regret
All in all
I wish
People will read
the pages
I fill.
50 word poem: Steamy Tears
I really like the 50 word challenge. Here is another poem. . . please enjoy.
Jun. 11, 2008
Water rush down
Steam fills the room
I sit in a corner
Warm steam wraps around me
Hugging me tight
There I was alone
By myself
This is where I cried
My tears blend in the shower
To hide my sorrow
I hide my tears
To show I am strong.
"Less Than a Penny"
Broke...Broken
Pockets empty
Just full of wishes
Bills pile up
Jobs are taken
Needs aren't met
No money for Rent
Frustration
Yelling
Fearful hope
are getting
Too close
All I have
Is worth
more than gold
But less than a penny

My spirit guide that purrs is a feline father. He holds his lion-like head dup high for the entire world to see. He is proud, but still follows me. He has three kittens: one that looks like him with hair of fluff. They’;re wild and purr thinking they’;re the stuff.
50 Words: Looking back
50 word poem challenge
Jun. 12, 2008
I wish I could go back
For just one day
To see what was different
in my changed life
To see if I am depressed, bitter, or happy
In that moment realizing
All of my other moments
Lead up to now
The moment it leads me
To you
Change nothing.
letter Challenge: the letter L: Lifeful Lust
Dedicated to Tom and Anne Rice

Lustful living
Looking for Lestat
Last lesion leaks liquid life
Learning life's lessons
Louis looks like he longs for less life
Lestat lives to love life's lustful lesions
Longing for the license of the light
Liberally leaping from life to life
Leaving a loathing life
Letting it all leave
