    Ready and rolling, eh! :D

    a soft parade comes this way
    smooth as silk
    a snowflake melts on my tongue

    silk turns to wool
    breath inside my coat
    melts the snow

    Giving hope away
    You have always been the one
    Clearing cloudy days
    "1/2Faithful-hush, no words...no words, just this one last time...dance with me, like the sun's never going to come up. People should be more like you, a young Andy Richter throwing caution to the wind, eating, drinking, and being sexy.

    God bless you. "- jayscott

    cloudy days leave snow on trees
    then an afterthought falls on my hat

    my nikes just broke a lace
    looks like another lost medal
    think I'll have a smoke
    You've changed your place in this world!

    my ipod shuffle battery
    is low
    time to knit a runner's cap

    I like that one even when you originally wrote it. :)

    shuffled leaves blowing
    past the schoolyard on oak street
    where my dog hath shat :D
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    wreath with a red bow
    over every door

    the smell of fresh baked cookies
    the brush of lazy pine
    you're home for the holidays

    The best! I want to take work off and set my tree up, and bake cookies. Maybe this evening, instead.

    scattered pine needles
    on my shoe
    walk beyond the driveway

    walk beyond the driveway

    black birds swirl
    he talks on a cellphone
    he shouts over his trashbags

    crow perched on her gravestone
    eyes full of depth
    a soul flies on bird's wing

    an apparent ghost
    transparent as is the host
    hope and fear live close
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
