So I’m kind of using nature so far to create. This poem was inspired by this video Once, we didn’t fly.We looked up and saw birdsand wondered how they got there.We dreamed of flying,knowing things went up into the air and fell back down to the earthsometimes harshly.Our curious natures kept us wonderinguntil we starting…

a blog post a little #POETRY
My thoughts for the day: I still stick my foot in my mouth, I just have learned not to chew on it. This pretty much applies every day. And it’s a little atrocious sometimes. But I’ve also learned to keep my mouth shut and THAT actually helps. A LOT. Now here’s the Poetry, I’m behind…

To the Self-Proclaimed Wine Steals Whore: You may make out with them in the parking lot, Share wine and tales in the same room as some of your former consorts, But unless they see you for the diamond you are Tell them to pay their own damned cork fee!
