    “I intend to shake things up,” my roommate said.  “No one is going to be able to stop me when I get everything started.”  Mallory did a little dance as she tried to pump herself up.  She was performing  at her first open mic night and reading some of her poetry.  It was her chance for a…

  • Chocolate Pie

  • Garden of Roses

    The roses said my name  Repeatedly  Excitedly  I wanted to help them  I really did  But how could I help  Something I no longer loved?
