Innocence can be overrated
your naivete
can leave you vulnerable
Sheep among the wolves
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger
Hoarder
Empty soda cans
Feral cats play with roaches
stacks of newspapers
Nan, Ginger, CelenaDiana
Shoebox
Faded prom photo
Seventeen two dollar bills
coded love letters
Nan, Ginger, CelenaDiana
Unplugging
under the radar
no tweets or tags to distract
FaceBook calling me
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger
Blink
Sun sparkling off pool
Squinting at hunky lifeguard
Trying not to stare
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger
She said
Remain in the light
want to see your lying eyes
For this one...last...time
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger

Ecclectic Tastes
Schubert and Elvis
Pate and fried gizzards
Raw silk and cashmere
Nan, Ginger, CelenaDiana
The snake that eats its tail
Reincarnation
Returning in its next life
Choking on itself
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger
They cry
fussy baby squalls
hoping to be rescued from
her own hunger pain
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger
Ghosts hover around
Dead man playing flute
Graceful spirits pirouette
Sing heavenly songs
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger

Lone Woman
Tendrils frame her face
Delicate impish features
Who kisses her mouth?
CelenaDiana, Nan Ginger

I will regress
Tease me but don't torture me
I balance between yesterdays and tomorrows
Only to walk backwards

What it opened...(haiku)
right combination
alabaster precious box
Things that were once lost
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nicholas
What they represent
gifts remain unwrapped
dusty and forgotten behind the couch
and so am I
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nicholas
Infinite Vulnerabilities
hunted by her own
secret insecurities
paranoia will
CelenaDiana, Nan, Ginger
I...
I sing about
Lost loves and old friends
New Year's Auld Lang Syne
Ginger, CelenaDiana, Nan
Currency
the rate of exchange
found coins in pink piggy bank
dimes equal coffee
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan
Three
Wheels on tricycles
Me, myself and I
Bird, bee, and butterfly
Nan, CelenaDiana, Ginger
Exercise Control
Only one more Snickers
trying to portion size
10 reps in sets of 10
Nan, CelenaDiana, Ginger
Pairs
Thigh high sexy boots
Candy apple stilettos
Dollar Store flip flops
Nan, CelenaDiana, Ginger
Cottage
cool air tickles lavender stems
Collie plays tag with Horse
Wrap-around porch swing
Ginger, CelenaDiana, Nan
Riverside
City street slipping
Streets lit up with hurried voices
Coffee shops curbside
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan
Soldiers
Opaque mirrors we
March in muddied surplus boots
Eating desert sand
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan
Immigration
Hot topic ignites
Brown skin, natives played like pawns
Green card currency
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan
If You Font
You wonder what could Helvetica
Georgia often rests inside my poems
Of love in flowing FrenchScript
Ginger, CelenaDiana, Nan

Who Are We To Sacrifice?
Who is the knife? The lamb?
Altar and fire ready
How much is required?
CelenaDiana, Ginger, Nan
