My adoptive sister
fragile and valuable
is a large canvas
caked in wet paint,
pink, red, blue,
yellow, black, green,
orange, brown, white,
gray, silver, gold,
and purple.
She needs to take
her sweet, sweet time
to dry off,
slowly and untouched
on the walls.
If I touch her
while's she's wet and dirty,
she'll fall off
the bedroom walls,
and she won't be
the art piece
I want to preserve.
When I find her
dressed in drips of wet,
brightly or darkly coloured paint,
I always know
to leave her
hanging on the walls
to dry off,
at her own pace.

Empowering Women: The Heartbeat of Every Home
They say that a woman has no home, However, there is no house without a woman. In the quiet corners of hearth and heart, She weaves threads of warmth and belonging. Her laughter echoes through sunlit rooms, And her tears water the roots of resilience.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.

I really like the idea of letting her dry at her own pace. Well done.
agree with Carol!
All the colours of personality in somebody trying to find themselves. This is an excellent piece in which colour is used to describe your sister's journey. I loved it.
Wonderful performance poem!!!❤️❤️💕
This was quite clever!
