There is history in ice, there is cold life
It melts in your tequila by the sea
Ice as primordial as water, you can float
On a floe, your skin cool and breath
Don’t dispel the icy storm, embrace
It in summer, and hope we always have ice

Roe v Wade was overturned. But please everyone...protect the right to speech. Sadder than losing dominion over a part of my uterus is losing dominion over my tongue.

Beauty is evident in a flower
But also the overweight person
The girl in the wheelchair
The burn victim
Beauty is in the soul
And the soul is a flower.

You were pretty and fancy
Limoges at Christmas dinner
You were murdered,
Sliced in half like
A holiday ham
The Black Dahlia
The darkness of Hollywood
I will always think of you
As red, a blush of youth
A gush of life before the awful

Write a #sixwordstory or a #poem about this picture.

Waves peaked
Like mountains
And fell
Like many fountains
Thundering with a roar
To the shore

I weep for every mass shooting. This should not be accepted as a normal part of our society.

With a whisper of sadness, I can hear the wind blow.
But will the sorrow linger in my heart; I do not know.

Some days the questions are bigger than the answers. Other days the answers simply don't make sense or help in any way.

Write a #sixwordstory or a #poem about this gif.

A storm is brewing
In my head
Emotions percolating
Causing a ripple effect
Don’t try to cross me
Thunder and lightning
Might burn from my mouth
You don’t want these
Deep-seated emotions
To boil over and come out
