Writing Letters
The Ones I Don't Want to Write
One for my mom to tell her how sorry I was and how much I hid from her.
One for my dad to tell him that there wasn’t anything he could’ve done.
One for my brother so he knows that he really was my soulmate and I was going to hate missing out on seeing all of his future accomplishments.
One for my best friend to apologize for not talking to her about how I was feeling.
One for my third-grade teacher to let her know I really did try to meet the expectations she had of me.
One for the boy that asked me to be his girlfriend to tell him that I only said no because I think he deserves better.
One for the really nice waitress that I had the other day to tell her she was the last person that made me smile.
One for my ex to let him know it was my fault.
One for my dog to thank her for licking my tears away.

Paint and Weave
Author's Notes: I rediscovered my 1980's poetry magnets box and in it were two poems I find compelling. I recall having challenged myself to create two poems using the same set of words. These two poem are what spilled out. Which one resonates more with you, version A or B? Leave it in Comments. I'd love to know your thoughts!

Gossamer
"Murray! Wake up!" He loved that period between waking and dreaming. To him, it was like entering another dimension; more of a dreamscape than dreaming itself. There was an otherness to it that he wanted to grasp and yet deeply respected the fact that it could never be his totally. This is what gossamer was; flighty and light, a wisp of smokiness, an idea suggested but not fully revealed, a slit in cloth, a copse in the wood.
