Sometimes
Sometimes girls go missing. Sometimes they're all over the news, and people care. Sometimes though, people forget, as a new tragedy steals the headlines.

Late Again
The school was deserted, harsh fluorescents illuminating a lone figure: my son Sam, waiting patiently, eyes hollow in the twilight. An apology slipped from my lips, unanswered. The car's interior was unusually chilly.

My dear
My dearest Maggie, I write to you from the vanguard of time, a chronicle laced with cobwebs and tear-streaked parchment. A life lived, reflected in the crevices of an empty house, whispering tales of solitude. The rooms echo with loneliness, reverberating with the silent language of isolation.

Beckoning Beauty
Beneath billowing boughs, Blossoms bloom, blushing, Breezes brush by, Bringing buoyancy, brightness. Bountiful bluebirds bicker, Barnacles bond, barns beckon, Babbling brooks bear, Benevolent beauty, boundless.

Day's Dance
Dancing dandelions, drowsy dreams, Delicate dewdrops, dawn's dazzling deeds. Dappled deer darting, dainty, deft, Deep down dales, deserted, divest.

Steady Shadows
Serenading starlings swiftly soar, Sapphire skies share silent stories, Sinking suns signal solemn soirees, Swaying shadows scatter, softly smothered.

Pet Peeves
Two lovers, with passion ignited, Eagerly planned, so excited, But as hands intertwined, A surprise they would find, A cat in the bed, uninvited!

First times
A timid young couple, so smitten, Together they planned, quite well-fitted, But their first time, alas, In the dark, with a gasp, They found socks were both still unbidden!

Pizza is like duct tape
I took a bite of pizza so fine And thought it would be forever mine But then came the twist It didn't exist I woke up, it was all in my mind!

Twisted Toppings
A fellow once dined on a slice, Of pizza, he thought it quite nice, But a sly twist of fate, Changed the course of his plate, 'Twas pineapple topping, his vice!
