Reasons

All you need is a reason to hope, To love, To dream, To be grateful for the calm after the storm. All you need is a reason to despair, To hate, To doubt, To believe you don’t deserve happiness. All you need is a reason to trust, To see the good in others, To know […]

Statistical Ups and Downs (A Poem)

The pendulum swings. One minute you are flying high, Successful, brilliant, ruefully optimistic And the next you are broken and beaten, Bruised, Prone on the ground watching others soar. The data of your life gets processed, Based on who you know, what you know and who you are a statistical map gets plotted. Thousands of […]

I remember when… (A Poem dedicated to the 80s)

I remember when NASCAR didn’t have Truck Races, Dale Earnhardt was still Intimidating, Jeff Gordon had Rainbow Warriors, And Jimmy Johnson had no championships. I remember when dial up modem tones were a sign of opulence and progress, When printers were dot matrix And 3 1/2″ floppy disks were new. When people had to use […]

I’m Here for The Groom (A Poem)

I’m here for the man who helped me with my thermodynamic’s homework, For the dude that told my ex to back off when I left him for my now husband, For the Starcraft nerd that let me create a Space Marine fleet when the guys in the room doubted my “strategery”. I’m here for the dude […]

I Was A Mom (Poem)

I was a mom once, A loving, nesting, pregnant mess of surreal possibilities, And my husband, a dad, that couldn’t stop smiling. Glee poured out of his pores. We couldn’t contain our happiness. For twelve weeks you brought us joy, The only kind a parent to be can feel. We were proud to call you […]

Happy Tail

Wag wag wag, Ouch! Tear noise. What happened to my tail? Lick, lick, lick Ouch! It hurts. Shrinks into a little ball and sighs. The doctor put me in a cone, A shame I wear to heal, Bumping into every one and everything I go, Until I got to sleep. And when I wake, Good […]

What I Like About You The Most

What I like about you the most is your friendly stare, The warmth of your embrace. The encouragement in your whispers. What I like about you the most is the passion in your speech, The many times you claim my heart, my mind and spirit by just being you, By fighting for a world that’s […]

Marry Someone Who 

Marry someone who loves your little quirks, Who pauses the basketball game with seconds to go to hear you talk about your day. Marry someone who finds your flaws adorable, Who helps you grow wiser not just bolder or prouder. Marry someone who can dedicate time to understanding how you feel, Someome who studies who […]

The Night, Eternal – The Dawn, Unyielding

The darkness spreads. All hope is lost in the eyes of men, The streets are full of despair and reckless abandon. Our worst fears have been realized, Now we know we are not unique, Just snowflakes melting in the heat of the passion that comes from mourning the end of an era. Silenced will the […]

The Upgrade List (a poem)

Booked my flight, checked in and ready to roll I look at the upgrade list and what do you know! I am 3 out of 3 for a better seat. I go to sleep, full or wonder and pride, My Medallion perks ready to fly, And I look at the list to gloat to my […]
