Don't Look Back
Submitted by sunshinedaisy on December 11, 2008 - 16:43.Rooftops waiting
Don't look back.
Windows
Open
Don't look back.
Curtains flying
Don't look back.
Feet climbing,
Arms pulling,
Snow falling
Wind whirling.
Don't look back.
Don't look back.
Someone Fights for You
Submitted by kfolley on November 20, 2008 - 14:42.When you laugh
When you cry
When you sing
And when you sigh
Someone fights for that.
When you scream
When you sob
When you dream
When your heart throbs
Someone fights for that.
When you talk
And when you listen
There’s a clock
That is ticking
For someone else
Who’s fighting
For you.
You should fight for them.
I am Sorry
Submitted by sunshinedaisy on November 14, 2008 - 13:22.I am sorry.
I'm sorry I lied
to you.
I'm sorry that I hurt you
I never meant to.
I tried to spare your feelings
When I lied the other day.
Will you forgive me?
Please forgive me.
Do you remember sharing a samosa?
Or the time we ran to meet each other,
Bounding over fences
Over picnics?
Do you remember
Cross Country?
Our little hemp patch?
We laughed
For hours
And then we ran
For more.
Do you remember
Being nervous together
As we waited for the cast list?
Do you remember
How proud I was of you?
Do you remember
When mom and dad split up
And I cried on the playground
And you said "group hug."
Do you remember
When you called me shiny?
And I smiled,
And I laughed.
I am sorry,
For I never meant to hurt you.

Prompt: Vermont Symphony
Tie my skates
Jump in
Gliding
Taking my
First
Steps
The clash of other skaters
Floats away
All I hear
is the ice
the blades
slipping
sliding
skating
jumping
sliding
twirling
dancing on
ice
living on
ice
my hair
swishes
jumping
landing
flying
arms spread out
