To the Memory of Us…

I was browsing through some old files yesterday, and I don’t know why I do, because I rarely find what I’m looking for. But what I did find was several of Anita’s poems! I forget how long it has been since anything new has graced my desk, she is getting very frail these days, but…

Wednesday Words…

Time… a new poem from Anita… #Poetry

In The Dark… #Poetry

in #achievements, #challenge, #Dark, #Fiction, #Meme, #writing, art, blogging, haunting, poetry, Poetry, sharing interestsThis one is just Wow! I am speechless… One slip, that’s all it took For my reckless soul to be lost in the void How will I find it, snatch it back? All I have in my pocket is a marble, An old fan with low batteries What chance did I have in the dark?…
