Slush Puppies Reflection
Cold Ice That Would Soothe
“Is your tongue blue or green?”
The kids in my neighborhood would scream.
It often looked like mush.
I shared one with my first crush.
Turn your lips red, green, or blue.
On a hot summer day,
It would soothe.
The face of a puppy was enticing.
The flavored cold ice sufficing.
Lime Rickey was delicious.
However, none were nutritious.
Blue Raspberry was my fav.
Ah to remember!
The childhood crave!

Perfect Little Pirate
The rough, sodden rope bit into her fingers as she swung over the roiling water far below. Reaching out with the toe of her boot, she managed to catch hold of the rain-soaked railing of the ship- and promptly slipped. Throwing herself forward, she landed hard on the deck, slamming her elbows against the wood planks. The sharp yelp of pain quickly bubbled into a laugh, and she rolled onto her back, laughing up at the gray sky as a torrent of rain washed away the soot covering her skin.
