I miss you:
but how do I tell you
when everything in your heart
makes you hate me
for loving you?
It has been a few months since I have posted something from Visual Verse. Truth be told, the last few prompt pictures, I sincerely did not care for, and when I cannot be prompted, then there’s nothing that comes from the art presented to the Writers from my mind to the screen, however, this month–I truly enjoyed the artwork used and I wanted to create something a bit fun, creative, yet emotional too. As always, I will post a snippet of the piece here, then direct you to it in its entirety via the website.
A big thank you to Visual Verse for letting this one fly.
Brushstrokes:
she’s gifted, you know?
that’s what the administrators
at our school say of her.
she’s “exceptional”, “amazing”
“vibrant” and “eclectic”.
she has her own style.
I’ve watched her work,
watched her splay the brush
back and forth, making art
quicker than anyone I have ever known.
with simple brushstrokes,
an inanimate object
comes to life.
You can read the rest here. As I stated above, I truly enjoyed this month’s prompt and I am anxious to see what January will offer. As always, thank you for reading.

I just want you to be you while being with me. If you cannot do that, there can never be an US. The simplicities of life really are simple.
it must be quite an
honor to be called someone’s
firebird–
full of flight
full of fire…
but it’s funny…
I feel neither high
nor hot.
and these days
nothing seems to be
flying around for
me to even consider
changing my mind
or my heart.
