Looking Ahead

There was a time

when their long faces

startled, drawing

back and back again,

beyond hopeful memories;

but now, they're just

distant flickers...hills

faded beyond sight

at turning of day.

They're gone and forgotten, only fragments left. 

Their hearts broken and left in distress.

There lies the symbolic word left on wood,  Croatoan.

Again

They're there again

In madness to love in hope

I note their red pen

To each sacrifice

One stroke another they knit

A joyous man's vice

There are two types of people in this world.

They that raise their children

Like they're little versions of themselves,

And have every little detail taken care of-

And then there are those who let the children

Raise them.

Waiting

They're waiting just around that tree, 

Their teeth are sharp as knives;

There isn't much time left, we should be

Running for our lives.

Homonyms in danger!

They're giving me 

A headache

With their preposterous

Use of homonyms.

There you go, grammar-friendly friend!

There.

There they were, in all their mocking glory.

Their eyes drilled into my pupils.

They're whispering about me.

There they're speaking their minds about their thoughts on me.

An Unfortunate Event

"There's my car!" She exclaimed excitedly. 

"Oh," her face fell when another couple opened the doors, "that's their car."

This time when she hit the button on her keys, she actually spotted it.

"Crap! They're towing me!" She ran towards the truck, shouting for the driver to stop.

He didn't.

Little Child

There there little child

They're not coming for you

See my little child

You are not theirs, I am.

They're coming child

Shush little one you are safe

Please quiet those tears

I will be okay child.

Cover image for post Winter squirrels, by CelticPrincess

Winter squirrels

Over there, they gather twigs and moss.

Here, they're gathering nuts and berries.

Masters of their own fate, these squirrels.

What will they do with the things they find?

Why they're going over there to fill their home for the long winter ahead.
