Faded upside down
Adventure Time. A dark, sad limerick
is it like hiding behind the scenes to topple over a boat?
Is it just underneath the floorboards or is the idea in my old silver lined pocket coat?
Is it in the old bursts of laughter you and me shared, mommy, it’s like you are here but hiding
Are you underneath my hat or is it time you are biding?
It’s silly, ludicrous, I know to hope—that you’ll be waiting faded upside down—-no bloat.

Dear Jane
Dear Jane, It’s been nearly a week, I hope you have had a productive and peaceful time. I have sent several poems and letters to you over the last several days, I hope you received them well in a timely fashion. You do not have to respond to all of them, I merely intend to write to you in any case to let you know I will always appreciate your friendship and keep you in my prayers and thoughts.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
