I used to spend my summers there
On one of the benches on the lakeshore
The summer air hot and humid
Made bearable by the breeze
Floating fiercely off of the water
I’d sit for hours
Just me and my thoughts
Watching the boats cruise past
The waves they caused
Echoing across the water’s surface
Each boat a different story
The old married couple here on vacation
With their million-dollar cabin
Resting right on the shore
Or the families there for the day
The Moms frantically trying to
keep their toddler away from the boats edge
and of course the fishing boats
barely moving
in hopes of not disturbing their prey
I watched them all
Giving them all new lives in my head
Wondering if anyone has ever watched me
And imagined I had some life
Far more interesting than my own

I mainly write poetry, I'm currently working on compiling and publishing a book of poems themed around Spring. Any works here with the subtitle "Spring: The Anthology" will be a part of that collection.
Her Majesty Mia and her minions
I rule this rag tag lot… they’re not much, but they’re all I’ve got! I preside at the head of the table, my indisputable, rightful place. But, I randomly perch on other chairs at a moment’s notice… whenever the mood strikes. Such fun keeping them off balance. Fun reminding them who’s boss... ME!
