Mixtapes and Memories

  Take me away Mixtapes and memories When a Walkman was still A favorite accessory When school gossip spread By word of mouth Only as far as The loudest could shout There was no Internet No instant reaction The problem of the day Involved solving fractions The only selfie A Polaroid picture Decorated with markers… Read More Mixtapes and Memories

School Bus

Big, yellow, and loud It rumbles by A busload of kids Along for the ride Inside is louder Than the clunky machine With chatter of children And bullies being mean Leftovers from lunch Are flung through the air As the bus driver yells Billy pulls Jenny’s hair Backpacks are searched Love notes are passed Liz… Read More School Bus

Heirloom

Piece by piece A life unfolds Revealing a tapestry From young to old ~ An ornate mapping Of geographic places A detailed diagram Of loved ones’ faces ~ Bit by bit The landscape becomes dotted By memories made In the time allotted ~ Then all’s stitched together As an heirloom to keep Life connects to… Read More Heirloom

Intertwined

Memories live Outside of time With each heartbeat They remain alive Existing still Though you’ve moved on To a better place From this world you’ve gone Still you and I remain Intertwined I keep you near my heart In a monogram design

Sunrises and Sunsets

Some choose to not see color Instead, diverting their eyes To the distant horizon Where dark storm clouds reside Clouding the beautiful moments That reveal themselves each day Sunrises and sunsets Keepsake memories to tuck away Choose to search for color Not for shades of gray Cherishing fleeting moments That too soon will fade away… Read More Sunrises and Sunsets

Tea Leaves

Come girls Gather ‘round There are secrets here To be found; We called her Kewpie Named after the doll Because she never much liked The sound of Grandma at all; Around the table Nicely set for tea She poured the hot brew Over a sugar cube for sister and me; Swallow after swallow As quick… Read More Tea Leaves
