Poetry


  • On my way to the  Children's Garden, I crossed a little bridge besides a wooded pond.
    It was very peaceful there. 
    As I walked through the garden I spotted some pretty little butterflie's and I started trying to get some pictures of them. I managed to catch this one atop a flower.
    This garden had many lovley flowers, but I found this one especially interesting so I took it's pi...

    Chapter 1 
    Waking up in a different room wasn't anything new. I had been drinking way too much once again, now I had to find my way home like normal. My parents would guess that I wouldn’t be home last night. 
    So as I stumble out of the unknown house, I wondered where the hell I was and what had happen last night. I was still a virgin as far as I could tell. I sort of walk, sort...

  • Still Standing Tall

    Saturday, March 8, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Still sick yet still standing tall.
    No matter how out of control my life might be
    I won't let myself fall.
    Still in pain yet still laughing through the tears.
    Never backing down throughout the years.
    Still tired yet still strong. 
    Relying on my inner strength to get me along.

  • I love to go to the zoo...

    Sunday, August 23, 2009

    One of the most enjoyable day trips I love to take is to grab my digital camera
    and go to the zoo.  These pictures I took over this past weekend at the
    Point Defiance Zoo.
    Imagine my surprise when I looked at the photo and saw what I
    snapped. I just love this picture.
    Another great picture that happened by accident. I love the expression
    of the girl looking at this moon jelly fish.
    The Octopus wa...

  • "Dress Up"

    Saturday, April 19, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Dress Up
    Purgatory;
    a musty closet with 
    the stale scent of cedar chips
    at the bottom.
    The scents of a home that remind you -
    this is a family of four now. 
    A fractured fraction that  tears your world apart.
    A coat is hanging,
    Daddy's coat,
    still many sizes too big.
    Tan corduroy
    but layered like a quilt parade.
    The warmth of a lifetime,
    with leather-covered wooden buttons
    bobbling against lo...

  • Current Pain, Future Blessings

    Monday, March 17, 2008

     
    Someone puts out a lit cigarette on my retina.  Alien strobe lights attack with guided-missile accuracy. Laser beams hold my gaze. No gentle, comforting looks that sustain the prayer that pain is temporary. Only searing brightness that pushes beyond where sight originates from.
    I am a hobo being kicked upside the head in a fight over my cardboard box. Weekly I am tossed out of my body, ...

  • Feel that rush of endorphines.
    Feel that rush of bliss...
    Like the first day you ever stood in the rain,
    Like the first day you were kissed.
    Feel that happy buzz...
    Feel that rush of love,
    It cannot be contained...
    Like sweet mary jane
    Feel that happiness inside?
    It's yours to keep.
    Go on and climb steep
    Go and take that last leap
    Feel the air rushing past,
    I bet it's never felt this fast...
    Sprea...

  • Love, your omnipresent eating disorder

    Thursday, June 5, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Message to: Ashley
    From: Eating Disorder
    Ashley,
    You are a disgrace. You are a big, fat, ugly person who does not deserve to live. why don't you just KILL YOURSELF??????  You are so stupid- you never let yourself choose what YOU want. You always listen to me, and you always let me dictate how you feel about yourself.
    You are a fat pig and you will NEVER get better. Don't ever believe t...

  • Dream Catcher

    Saturday, August 8, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    This past week my art therapy group worked on making dream catchers. We used instructions from a website called nativetech.org. The project though it looks intricate was actually not too dificult to pick up. We added beads in the web to symbolize the things we wanted to catch in the web.  Either the bad things we wanted to stay out of our dreams or the good things we wanted to focus our drea...
