The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be
by Nikita Gill
She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents,
guitars and stars,
then stops short
and apologises for speaking at all.
All because somewhere in her life
someone she loved broke her heart
by ignoring her beautiful words
and telling her to
shut up,
keep it down,
nobody cares.
People aren't born sad.
We make them that way.
May Has Such a Winsome Way
by Annette Wynne
May
Has such a winsome way,
Loves to love and laugh and play,
To be pretty all the day,
Never loves to sulk and frown,
As April does; when rain comes down,
May is sorry, says: "Rain, please
Go away soon, flowers and trees
Love the merry shining sun,
Want to laugh now, every one,
For the happy time's begun."
All you people who love play,
Love to love the livelong day,
Do you not love May
With her winsome way?

Summer Collapses
by Tilley
New England in fall:
Colorful bedtime stories
Trees tell before sleep
November
by Tilley
A cold wind whooshes
Down the rain-soaked, leaf-strewn streets
So dark and dreary
Heart of the Ocean
by Tilley
A living jewel
Breathing life, blue heart beating
Pulsing with the tides

To reach tomorrow
Second star to the right and
Straight on 'til morning
Worn by age and time
Blasted by sand, baked by sun
Proudly still remains
Instructions for life
Coiled in a double helix
Created with love
By my dear mother
Stands a beautiful woman
Her other daughter
Her childhood hero
More happiness in giving
All we need is love
And on LiveJournal
