I like reading and men.  The two don’t necessarily go together, I just thought I would throw the liking men in there because, well, I like reading and I like men.  Two likes instead of one.  One like is just too lonely.  I have other likes as well, but I only… Read full post »

I am tall!  Well, actually, I topped out at 5’11”, so in the overall scheme of things I am on the shorter side of tall as an adult.  The average height for an American female is 5’5”.  Not that there is anything “average” about American females. … Read full post »

I dropped out of college at 21 and was going nowhere real fast.  For some reason I couldn’t figure out what in the hell I wanted to do with my life.  My sister, Dede, had just finished playing a one-year stint in Vegas with a show band.  She was/… Read full post »

A thin gossamer line

I cannot see

Tethers me to this blue orb

Stronger than gravity.

No faith, no trust, no love

For humanity,

Yet, three times over

I add to its existence.

A seething ocean

Of… Read full post »

As I pondered Alysa’s Open Call question, “Do you have an ultimate, go-to fictional romantic story (in any format - movie, play, song, book, etc...)in your life?  What is it, and why?” Something very horrible started to happen.

I grew horns and fangs and the most snarky,… Read full post »

Mama coughed into a bloody rag, shaking her head yes.

Yes, to the man with a bright white collar.

He would come collect sister and me on the morrow.

Mama cried that night.

Promises made to always look after sister.

The man came.… Read full post »

“Girls are the Devil”, a Mama Boucher quote from The Waterboy.  My sister and I, being the mother of sons, thought this was a hysterical quote and started using it on our young impressionable sons early and often.  Unfortunately, they did not listen.  I was lucky that I did… Read full post »

I was having a bad day.  Actually, I’ve been having a string of bad days.  I don’t like to whine or complain so I won’t go into the boring details of these bad days.

I haven’t written anything for a while so I sat down at my computer and I… Read full post »

Bars hired us to entertain their patrons, transporting them from their mundane lives, giving them a reason to dance, get thirsty and horny; not that anybody needs a reason to be horny, a perpetual state for half of the human species.

My sister and I were glittery songbirds that would… Read full post »

It was never my face,

But a desire for your own

Reflected in my dark pools.

You utter sweet words

To seduce yourself,

While I await your embrace.

Too late, I recognize

The familiar taste of poison

You leave… Read full post »

It finally happened.  I came face to face with the other woman.  I was rather proud that I didn’t throw a pie in her face, pull out her blond, pretty, pert curls or punch her in the nose.  The scenario was playing in my mind, so I did get some satisfaction… Read full post »

i Dream of you.

my subconscious, a

Tether to my want of you.

i wander the vast emptiness

Until i hear You calling out to me. 

i run to you in this realm where distance is nothing,

falling… Read full post »

Ok, the Christmas tree might not be fifty-feet tall, but, when you are on your tippy toes at the top of a fifteen-foot ladder it sure as hell feels like it.  How do I know this?  Experience.  I’m the tallest person in my family that is only mildly afraid of heights,… Read full post »

I love my vanilla white chocolate mocha.  I have one every day.  Today I left early for lunch, and as usual, went to my coffee shop, situated at the front of my local grocery store.  I chit chatted with my barista while she made my delicious treat.  She knows what I… Read full post »

Love to hate, hate to love

I a woman, he a man

Adversaries

Disparate hearts, one rhythm

Step the steps

Hunter or prey

I push—he pulls

Beware the embrace

I flee—he pursues

Exhilarated by the chase

Desire legato

Fear staccato… Read full post »

The “Mother Ship” was locked and loaded after our gig ended in Duluth, Minnesota.  We were all night owls so it only made sense to start driving to the next gig as soon as we were ready to scoot.  I was always hyper after a show and took the first shift… Read full post »

To my complete amazement there were over 20 emails, 50 plus winks and around 100 views.  This seemed to me to be an overwhelming response.  I had been on the site less than six hours.  Most of that time spent during the wee hours of the morning.  When did these people… Read full post »

I am in a horrible age bracket.  A woman in her forties is too old to display herself in an undignified way, and too young yet to place herself on a shelf and let the cobwebs grow.  This is what led me to explore, and I say this sarcastically, the wonderful… Read full post »
