She gazes heavenly, contemplating a change.
Walking over the hill to wonderland.
Wishing for what you don’t have.
longing, she watched as they laughed
Until you realize what you have.
Can’t tread happy without the crappy
Taking leap of faith for love
Torment me, then let me write.
No doubt his lawn is fertilized.
Before unemployment, I wanted time off.
Even Dorothy never really left Kansas.
Struggles reading all my google reader
shining mountain meadow. emerald. soggy toes
Fun!
The french door swung open. Freedom.
Beauty lives here, she thought longingly.
The colors danced, whistled, and sang.
Right on time, the breeze whispered.
Spinning, skipping, laughing she left.
All is possibility in her dreams.
“when you meet your true love”
Slow news day: Justin Beiber’s Haircut.
when you meet your true love
my grass would be greener with those, beautiful.
being with someone you love
until you cherish what you have
…beneath the sunshine after the rain…
When you’re playing in the sprinkler.
Over the old outhouse site.
Where the old farmer fertilized it.
Where the cows left calling cards.
Everything would be better, if only…
We were cooler in high school.
major finally declared. many minors ensue.
but I’ve wirecutters in my back pocket…….
I remember us differently than you
But the skies are always meaner.
But we’re enjoying the peaceful view.
See them? They’re looking over here!
His cell is bigger than mine
Until you, I never knew love.
with buckets of fertiliser on it
He was my cup of tea.
when it isn’t a summer heatwave
going broke, trying to get rich.
wearing rose tinted glasses, hiding tears.
feeling nothing, having all you wanted.
she’s famous, you’re her ugly sister.
skipping dessert, jeans still don’t fit.
Great new job losing old co-workers
To think it happened only yesterday.
First she wished. Now she regrets.
but there’s no place like home.
wait until tomorrow. things always change.
today, I love my job. tomorrow?
my imaginary kids don’t ever scream.
forget the sod, plant a garden.
Crabgrass, gophers tenacious. Garden warrior resolute!
Softly creeps in between my toes.
Imagination trumps reality of the mundane
