the crush crushes, too

trE

NaPoWriMo #16

I finally snatched the chance
to shoot my shot and shot
it with precision and purpose.

being friends first helped us.
and although a “yes”, is not
the answer . . . the door is n o t
closed to further discussion.

the crush crushes, too.
and loving me is important to her.
losing me she doesn’t want to see.

I now know the gift of being
held in high regard by someone
who secretly crushed on
me, too.

NaPoWriMo #12

another appointment — hair care
is important. I tell myself
I am not spoiled rotten,
I’m only maintaining this
beautiful crown the ancestors
gave me.

NaPoWriMo #13

I’m full of wonder, ready
for the impending inevitable.
daily, I remind myself,
“Be patient. Beauty is
just around the corner.”
I hope my sanity
will remain intact
until then.

the d o g sniffs around
and around, searching for that
fresh scent of heaven.

Pigtails: A Throwback Hairstyle

NaPoWriMo #9 A Senryu, 2 Parts

It was a pigtails kind of day yesterday. Tuesday, April 08, 2025. Photo Credit: Tremaine L. Loadholt

long hair — don’t quite care
flowing down my face today
slapped into pigtails

buried the old ways
of ponytailing my locs
convenient beauty
