What's in a Dream?
What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up Like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat?

Beautiful Serenity
The cemetery was beautiful tonight. It seemed almost sacrilegious to even think the thought. I mean, who thinks of a cemetery as a thing of beauty? But, it was true. It was beautiful tonight.

I'm With the Band
I’m with the band. Well, I WAS with the band. Until they broke up. Now, I’m just a nobody again. Not that I was ever really a somebody, but when you’re with the band you’re suddenly more popular than you realized you wanted to be.

Not Quite Numb
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” The old nursery rhyme played over and over in her mind as the barrage of insults kept coming. For hours she had sat in a stony silence with tears streaming down her face and reciting the rhyme to herself.

Counting Cows
“My nose itches. I smell peaches. Yonder comes a man with a hole in his breeches.” Grandmother loved reciting that rhyme. She always said that last word so that it rhymed with “itches.” And we would laugh as she furiously scratched her nose. Then we laughed even harder when Grandaddy came around the corner of their house with a HUGE, obvious hole in his blue denim overalls.
