play me home


i remember 
when
the fences 
that lined 
my way 
home
tickled the toes 
of 
my senses
a picket xylophone

    and I remember when the daisies
    that lined the walk to the garage
    smiled and laughed as I
    fanned them with my youth.

waiting for the boss

this is the story of a girl who lived in the basement of the girl next door sheltered in the confines of a  suburban tract house dungeon; her punishment for runnin' wild with dreams half unlatched she ran like a spirit in the night from those badlands wind blowin' through her hair shielding her eyes from the blinding light she hugged onto a shoreline of hope someday soon, she's not sure when her savior will rise up from the streets with an armload of rain soaked roses and second chances Rene ~ 2010 Click  Here   to join Magpie Tales creative writing group .
