Team Double Trouble
You and I generations apart;Sharing music, motion and art.Bringing out the child in me;Teaching you resiliency.We must appear quite the odd couple;Tween and “older” team double trouble.I dread the day our connection ends;As your focus shifts toward your friends.I only hope I’ll still be here;When once again you’ll find me dear. Prompted by dVerse HostContinue reading “Team Double Trouble”

Reposting this poem and feature photo from 2021 in responseContinue reading “Look To The Sky”
Abduction
She was squirreled away on a chartered boat;Shepherded into his private cabin.Tears spilling – makeup beginning to raccoon around her eyes;She had earwigged his phone conversation and knew of his intentions.Trying to outfox him;She snaked her way out of the bathroom window;But he was waiting, perched atop the deck.Yanking her up, he bulldogged her toContinue reading “Abduction”
Happy Birthday, Brother
