Plane Jane
A free verse poem
Jane is a plain name
It was there for you to use
If you wanted to lay low
But that is not the case
You cannot be contained
In those four letters
And yet they describe a part of you
The classic bit
Of strength and self-assurance
There are parts of you
I don’t understand
My fault, not yours
When frustration rears its ugly head
It goes inward as well as out
But my love is constant

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

Great work!
“When frustration rears its ugly head It goes inward as well as out But my love is constant“. Wow… that’s so deep and relatable, it’s hard to feel both those things at once but they are both true!
This was so simple yet so lovely! Wonderful poem!
Lovely. I love the ending.
