What do you do when
You're trying to write, but
The words won't come?

It's not only the words.

I am not sure what
Should happen next,
What my characters will do.

We need to get to know each other better.

Friendship

Crunchy peanut butter and strawberry jelly were
My only companions at lunch today.
I feel my heart sink when I think about
My friends' drifting away.

What is it about the human condition that
Makes us treat each other so?
It is inconceivable to me to forget your
Friends and to deal them such a blow.

Dieting

I find that
There is no sense in
Dieting.

The feeling of
Deprivation is
Unbearable.

The cravings are
Too strong to
Fight.

Why is it that
Everyone is on a
Diet?

I wonder while nibbling
Salad, to save room for
Ice cream.

My Sis

Who has the best sister?
I bet that answer is me.
I hope that I am yours, too,
At least, I try to be.

Twins separated by nine long years,
I call her Mini-me.
Yeah, when it comes to little sisters,
Mine just can't be beat.

Friday Afternoon

My butt fell asleep from
Sitting in this chair.
It's a nice chair, but
I've been sitting here too long.
I look out the window; I
Can smell the summer air.
This makes the fourth or
Fifth time I've heard the same song.
I want to run, to jump, to play,
But here I sit to earn my pay.

Sinus

How can I get rid of three sumo wrestlers?
I can't stand the incessant pounding of
The two jumping on my head,
Mashing my brains.
I can't bear the pressure of
The one sitting on the
Bridge of my nose.
It is a blinding sight.

Let's Never Fight Again

Sitting on my black shag carpet,
Looking at the black and silver guitar on my wall,
Resting my head against my red chair,
I analyze everything we said.

Closing my eyes, for just one moment,
Taking a deep breath that turns into a yawn,
Wishing you were, holding me close,
Out slithers one lonely tear.
