Wordless Wednesday - Drawing a Blank

Clear the cobwebs from my mind

Let the words flow from my heart once again

A thief came along

Copied and pillaged

Stole my desire, my drive,

My creativity

Hours upon hours

Years of memories

Words written with love

Composed into poems

Stories of my life ….  Not of his

Did he give birth to three baby boys?

Live through cancer and so much more?

Creative countless recipes

With pictures galore?

Even though his sites have been taken down

I’m left here wordless

Angry and torn

To all of you plagiarists

 Leave us writers alone

Go straight to hell

Get a life of your own

Dedicated to all the fantastic writers at  HubPages

From My Heart

Friday

I heard the news and my heart ached

I turned on the TV and I wept

These poor innocent children and teachers

The families and friends that are left behind

How could life be so unkind?

Monday

The first two burials began today

As the TV news flashed all the pictures of the children that were so brutally murdered

I sobbed as if I knew each and every one of them

What has happened to us that something such as this took place?

On a Friday in December in 2012

This is North America

This is not a war zone

One shooter is all it took to not only destroy these lives but to change the lives of everyone

Making parents and children fearful, just to go to school, just to walk down the street, just to play

There’s a saying that time heals everything

Time cannot possibly heal what has happened here

My heart goes out to everyone in Newtown Connecticut 

A Christmas Haiku

Excited Children
Waiting to see what Santa
Leaves under the tree

White fresh snow falling
Stars twinkle lighting the night
Guiding nine reindeer

Milk and cookies left
Stockings are carefully hung
On this magic night

Darkness On The Street

It was a dark and foggy morning

Without a soul in sight

Peering out my window

It looked to be

The middle of the night

Eeriness lingered

Sending shivers down my spine

Surely ghosts were present

In the darkness outside

Street lamps shedding light

Through the murky

Blur of haze

No one dared to walk

This street

Where murder

Once took place
