Tripawd
Three-legged dog Adopted as conversation starter And a chance for the owner To touch their heart And wax on about How it broke When they first saw him And they just had to have him And yes It's a struggle But oh so rewarding Droning on and on While the listener makes infantile whines of well practiced empathy to prove they are just as good a person

Rules to life
Get off your phone Go outside Have a dog Sit on benches with the dog and people watch Stop to smell the flowers- if there are no flowers. Find some anyways and smell them Have a cookie. Have the windows rolled down in the car. Enjoy the drive. Watch cows run in the field. End the day with a movie night.

The House That Whispered My Name
The House That Whispered My Name There was a house at the end of the road, Where nobody lived and nobody stayed, The windows were broken, the garden was wild, But something inside seemed strangely alive.

An Ode to Long Lost Summers
I remember the heat Of endless July Hair frizzing Freckles etched permanently Into my sun-kissed skin Laying on soft splinters of green Searching the topaz sky For familiar faces in the clouds. They smile at me Those infinitesimal cotton comforts Holding my dreams And space For a girl Still growing wings
