My best work

My best work
is waiting for me
somewhere inside
a tree's roots

between here
and the sun
lies the perfect
set of words

i know they
searching for
someone to
write them in stone

my best work
is seeking a home

they exist
in a museum-
a masterpiece
unspoken

they float
through the air
unclaimed

once they find
their way
into my heart
my mind
will set them free.

My more glamorous life Day 4

glamour is not just
for princesses, models,
dancers, and queens

glamour's for girls-
gangly or wide-
glamour's a gift
not to hide

glamour is not just
for princesses

beauty and glam
inside is real
it's what you feel

others know
from what you show
and how you move-
and how you groove

so sisters - you
need no more
than good dancing feet
and minds that are neat

closets that are messy
with outfits that are dressy

a creative turn
a simple whirl

a bit of glitter,
you're a glamorous girl

Time

a best time

cannot be found

you can search for it

at the bottom of the sea

dig out the far ends

of your closet floor

and time, time

escapes some more

there's no time to wait

for a good time

they say

this is not the best time

when is?

sometime tomorrow

would be better

something came up

it's not a good time

time is good

to those

that revere

its magical prowess

its invented 

demands

its matter-of-fact

this is the time

be on time

respect your time

do your time

don't do it again 

this time

It's my time

It's our time

at the bottom of the well

we see our future

don't let time 

get there before you 

Day 3 My More Glamorous Life

Not much glamour to
report
More grim than glam
for this m'am

tonight
will tuck
yesterday in

tonight's slumber
bids today good-bye,
and delivers dreams
to tomorrow's wake

a star
out the window
sparkles
speaks

a message straight
you are your fate

Day 2 - My More Glamorous LIfe

I sat yesterday down
and said good-bye

farewell, farewell
and may you be well

i've gathered some chocolate
to ease the pain

reflecting backwards
is so inane

I jump
into today

splash and pounce
I seize, I trounce

it's mine
my life
swiftly,
slowly

wholly

Follow me

Follow me
feel me

let my thoughts
match yours

tell me about
the time
the same thing
happened to you

see me
in the light
that sneaks
under your door
trying to catch you
mid-dream

hear me
through

swallow my words
as your own
and spread
them about
like warm sunshine
on an island beach

follow me
follow the sun
and light

if it feels right
follow me

My more glamourous life

Prequel

tomorrow it starts
it always starts tomorrow

today is too soon
i am much too busy
staring at the moon

i hope that i
come out of my room
emerge from the gloom,
encapsulating doom

turn out bright
a deepening light
shadowing a dark
flavorless mark

my more glamorous self
turns doom into life
runs from the past
wielding a knife

to cut through
old pages
that date the ages
run through the forest
in fits and rages

escapes disaster
becomes the master

the more glamorous master
of this glittery life

all you need is a sparkle
to shine
