There are toe rings, pinky rings, thumb rings, and even rings of candy,
but out of all the ring in the world, the engagement one is by far my favorite.
You got down on one knee and promised you will love me for the rest of your days
and with the ring I said, “Yes,” promising to love you too.
Now, the ring is just as apart of me as much as my heart and soul is.
Diamonds, sapphire, and other gems are symbols for either promises for life,
or just broken promises, but as my ring has no end,
my promise to love you will go unbroken.
Relationships are either smooth or bumpy. As my ring twist and turns,
that is when you get on my nerves.
Yet, it will smooth out, get bumpy, then smooth out again. It is never ending.
Sooner than we know it, our dreams will become reality when we say our vows.
On this day you will give me my fourth ring,
Promise ring, engagement ring, wedding ring, and who can forget the suffering.

You Are What You Eat
Have you ever had a wet dream about pork sausage links or bacon-wrapped meatloaf? If so you might be like our stud Chuck Mcdonald. He is a lovely man who's dating profile says, “Country man with salt-pepper hair. Tall, dark, handsome, and weighing in at six hundred pounds.” Chuck lives at home with his mother and together they own and run a pig farm. To be honest, you can’t tell the two animals apart. His addiction isn’t heroin or any drug like that, but grease, it was his aphrodisiac. Chuck is not a jolly Saint Nick, instead he is a bitter man just looking for his next meal, who can make anyone lose their appetite and puts a new definition to the phrase, “You are what you eat.”

Clinging to Childhood
The playground is empty, as it should be past sundown. There is a warm breeze, and I can see everything despite the late hour. What time is it, anyway? It could very well be past midnight. I can never keep track of time, especially in the summer. A prickly piece of popcorn hides like a stowaway in the left cup of my padded training bra. I stuffed the tissue in last minute— a decision I’m beginning to regret, based on the events that are unfolding rapidly before me. To my left, laying non-chalantly on his back, is my date for the evening. He is two years older, could probably grow facial hair if he wanted to, and drives a secondhand Honda. He may as well be a Man. I, on the other hand, feel like a fraud with my too-short short-shorts, sparkly lip gloss, and makeshift push-up bra. I keep my arms pinned to my sides as I feel the dreaded circles of sweat beginning to manifest on my brand new Abercrombie top. I cup my elbows with my hands and stare down at my hint of cleavage, praying that the tissue doesn’t pop out like a white flag surrendouring my lack of womanhood.
