Falls/Hope/Water
shimmer in the cerulean holding out hopefor another day,another year,tomorrow yet again.the waterfall bubblesthe way of emotionsall churned up and twisted,boiled milk glazed over.the thin veil clouding the topof the hot chocolate mug,the froth that pools at the bottom,and the hope that congeals somewhere beneath the surface, tender and uncertain. It’s been a couple monthsContinue reading “Falls/Hope/Water”
Zombification
They gaslit us, setting smoke streams of lies polished with name-calling and hypocrisy,the facts of lost reality obscured.Thousands forget to think,forget even how to be,discard their humanity,zombiefied,lifeless and blindlistening to those braiding fiery rumors into half-truthsand cruelty they no longer bother to hide.Lost ones become ghosts,staring into their screens,asking robots what they should think,and whoContinue reading “Zombification”
Discarded
I sit here amongst the broken pencils, crinkled post-its, and abandoned erasers. We live untouched and awkwardly perched, unused and possibly forgotten. My jaw is disjointed and my alignment botched, my blue paint graying in this dusty twilit corner.

Still, she longed for home. Leather sandals that looked about Jonie’s size lay in the sand beforeContinue reading “Reunion- A Flash Fiction Piece”
5-Year Cancerversary
There is a lot about life that is cyclical. Trends, for instance. The 90s are really “in” right now, or so say my students. We were at a roller rink a few days ago, and every song they played was from 1990-2005. It was definitely creating an intense wave of nostalgia for this Millennial. EvenContinue reading “5-Year Cancerversary”
Paving the Way to Publishing
Since attending a writing conference in early April, I’ve been on a new track with my writing goals. I feel more focused. I have 4 finished books at the moment, and now I have a clear plan of where each is going, or at least, what I want to do with each: the cozy mystery,Continue reading “Paving the Way to Publishing”
