• The Diner

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lori Wilson  The Fourth of July will forever be linked to the worst day of my life.  In late June 2015, my mother decided we were going to hit the Mother Road and head to California via Route 66.  At a small unnamed town, we stopped at a diner named Shelly’s which I knew would be full…

  • On the Trail

    He died on the Oregon Trail  Medicine was given, to no avail  When they ran out of food  It only changed the mood  Until we came upon the whale 

  • On Alert

    Why did he have to be so mean  He was the worst I had ever seen  Words he said, they always hurt,  My heart was on alert  But my friends finally did help and intervene

    The problem was brought up  Because of an overflowing cup  I hoped it was only water  Or else I could not bother  But where is the pup 

  • No Longer Paradise

    I was about to lose my mind  Because he was no longer kind  My life was no longer paradise  All he left was mice  Their home, I could not find.
