Time

This is my contribution to the 100 wood meme, on Velvet Verbosity.

I never really thought about it. I always had more than enough. It was my friend. I’d heard people talk about it slipping away, and them never having fully enjoyed it. I thought they were overemotional, that surely they hadn’t missed all they implied. I know differently now.

There are so many things I wish I’d done, things that are lost to me now. So many people I’d love to have one more conversation with. Things I’d love to pass along to help others understand so that they wouldn’t find themselves in my place. If I only had the time…

Love Again

This is my entry for Velvet Verbosity this week. Hope you like it.

Love resurrected and feelings are true again
Time healed wounds, and hearts on the mend

A second chance in true loves embrace
Emotions dance in delight
Of the past there is no trace

Hope overflows and abounds
Tenderness and joy grow
Soft touches leave faces aglow

The tried and true remembered
The new eagerly sought
Replacing the old with freshness
Hard fought

A chance to fix old mistakes
And make new treasures
To make life happier
And better together

Patience and grace
Help rekindle the flame
Of a love that faded too quickly
And the death that came

Blend

This is my contribution the the 100 Words meme. I missed last weeks! Hope y'all like this one.

“Are you wearing that to school, Debra?”

“Yes, Mother. It’s what all the girls wear these days,” Debra replied.

Her mother looked her over again from head to toe. The outfit left nothing at all to the imagination.

“Isn’t it a little revealing?” she asked her daughter cautiously.

“No more so than anyone else’s clothes at school,” Debra said with a shrug.

“I think you should change, Debra.”

“But I thought you wanted me to blend in, Mother. Remember, you always said if I stood out people would notice all my flaws,” Debra replied as she went out the door.

Yearning

This is my entry into the 100 Words challenge. It's the first time I've played with them. I hope I did everything right and it's ok. This seems like it will be fun.


“Oh, it looks so good! All gooey and sweet.”

“I can smell it from here, I swear. It should be against the law to make something that smells that good.”

“Don’t they know over half of Americans are fat? They shouldn’t be tempting us like this!”

“Just one little bite shouldn’t hurt. I can stop at one. It looks very rich.”

“I really have to get one. There’s no question about it. I’ll skip dinner.”

“Humph, sorry didn’t see you there, Karen.”

“It’s ok. How are you doing?” Karen asked.

“Fine. I have 3 whole points left for the day!”
