Nonfiction’s Choice

She could not live,

if not in honesty,
for without that one trait

all. else. was. a. lie.

She would merely be one more
fictional character….

wandering life’s stage.

3WW - Him, A Partial Reveal

May 14, 2008 | Filed Under 3WW, Family, Photo, Poetry | 1 Comment 

Average - Neck - Scratch. Three simple words tossed at us by Bone for Three Word Wednesday. Though I have no time to read much this week, I could not resist writing, for as soon as I saw the word “neck” - the first line of the poem formed.

Him, A Partial Reveal

16.5 neck
above average height
(in the day)
large hands
big feet
inseam 30

actor, always on
(except when not)

dry witted
quick witted

moods worn for most to see
though some know not the signs

heart HUGE
hidden at times

while male bravado states its case

and loses.

Giver of self and heart.

I must only scratch the surface
for privacy means more to him than me….

Did I tell you I’m spoiled rotten?
(Not materially — for anyone could do that.)

I share this also as part of Barbara Torris’s challenge to write for ten days of positives and joy. Join us?

Comments unopened - just because. Have a joy filled day y’all. I’ll try to catch up on reading this weekend.

Weighted Words

Where
did
your empathy hide?
your consideration choose to escape?
your freedom sink from view?

When
did
your heart become cold from disuse?
your ability to think shrink to become non?
your feet become frozen in fear?

Please, don’t insult yourself by replying,

“I don’t know!”

without

first

deep thought

for your answers are merely
in limbo,
they wait for you

to fire the synapses
– connect them to conscious thought –

until then
they serve only to weigh you down.
