My stories

Cherry

E is for Elf and Evergreens

unseen hands making true lucky children's wishes their coats are never new but, in Winter, riches
Cherry

D is for Dove (Decoration and Real)

blind symbol of peace, cut from wordless paper, swings hunger flown further out shy beauty on grey wings
Cherry

C is for Cracker and Chestnut

two hands snap! out old joke cheap toy, soon lost and crown velvet lips speak through spikes of secrets swelling brown
Cherry

B is for Bauble and Rowan Berries

sparkling, empty, always perfect this man-made fruit, unlike seedful berries gloriously unput
Cherry

A is for Angel and Ash Tree

watching with unpacked calm pale face in cornered dark as ash trees reach, each arm in sleek, moonsliver bark

With Martha's cooking skills

Posted on Sun, 05 Oct 2025

With Martha's cooking skills wouldn't surprise me if they are all so round by the end of the night they won't be able to fit through the front door :0) I do like so much how Martha keeps glaring at Perfidia, and kicking her under the table! You...

It's these last parts where

Posted on Sun, 13 Dec 2015

It's these last parts where you show another kind of strength. Not of endurance but of determination not to give back the independence you won at such a cost. You are a remarkable person.

Posted on Thu, 10 Dec 2015

I remember I was so happy

Posted on Mon, 07 Dec 2015

I guess your son's operation

Posted on Wed, 02 Dec 2015
