Chocolate drips start to settle into a overlapping, melon, blue sky.
By now the signs plastered on the bus read: 6am.
Sleeping intoxication awake to the sound of ticking and tapping on the benches.
Mr. Jackson smiles as he starts the ignition.
Slow sips of creamy, mocha chocolate cappuccino alert him!!.
Doors Ajar!!
Sweet cool air is shattered
Mechanic grease smells linger, mixed with coffee breath and cigarettes.
A waitress zips her hoody and smears passion colors on her lips.
Canes make way and isles are cleared
Head phones on, backpack in the next seat
As he drives by, he reads the café sign that says: Dine In Today!!

Exclamations, Declarations and Sensations!!
Exclamations, sensations and declarations!! I worked at entering the cortex, cerebrums, and messaging centers that guide responses! I worked at delivering sentences with expressions that drive activity in the brain! I worked to engage the reader! Once this occurred I felt at ease, I felt at home! Writing was my home where I stored my luggage of thoughts! Writing was my home where I cooked up creativity, for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Writing was my home where I showered myself everyday with words, verbs, nouns, and adjectives! Often, I spent hours engaging in writing until I could make it home. Hours in research, and then conclusions until I could make it home. Hours in understanding and reasoning until I could make it home. Writing is my home!!!

The Singer So Shy
She stood near the cold fireplace, watching the second-hand tick down to the hour. In another minute, the clock's bird would emerge and warble the hour. She reached up and touched the clock, tracing the gentle slope of the farmhouse roof, then trailing down the lilac strewn side, to the white fence framed dooryard. She wished she was there, where the air would smell of lilacs rather than smoke.
