  • Are You Scared of Me?

    When the neighbors yell  Everyone will come running  Hoping for police 

  • Broken Glass

    Glass strewn across town  Where everyone could get hurt  When the stars go blue 

  • Extra

    When the cows came home  I wanted to take one down  Where they all eat well

    Passing out freedom  Like candy canes and sugar  Please do not ask why

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lori Wilson  As I trudged up the short flight of stairs, I wondered if this was how my life was going to end.  Looking through the wide-open windows of a stranger.  In a strange town.  I had always wondered why people didn’t put curtains over their windows.  They were always too trusting.  Too kind.  I counted there being at…

    PHOTO PROMPT © Lily  I knew this would be the last time I sat here.  It was the first time I had been here alone and I knew I couldn’t bear to ever be again.  Rick had been my soulmate, my everything, and my life would never be the same.  I blamed him for everything that had gone wrong in the last…
