Volcano
Volcanic eruptions are made Of magma the Earth has displaced. Clouds of ash hit the sky And I'm wondering why Lava can't just be spewed towards Hate.

White
I once lived in a world that was white. It shone, blindingly so. In its cold appearance, diamond flecks would flicker And for those moments, it was wondrous.

Door
My mind has an open door. I picture it as oak. It is arched, like that of a church or a palace, Set in pale, carved stone, ridged and chisel-crafted.

Mirror
I don't want to die. Not just yet. The mirror reminds me of my destiny. It is preparing me with sag and lag And line and crease.

Do not dream lightly like gossamer pulled by wind, But like an elephant, solid and determined. Silk thread may be strong but can soon be lost to all

My Self-Appreciation Challenge
Oh man. Where to start. I don't know... It's not because I don't appreciate myself because I do but 10 things? It feels like I'm dividing myself up like a pie chart. Really, I just like me. But the challenge says 10 things so here goes.

Rachel Reviews: Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent by Judi Dench
This book was a joy. I cannot tell you...actually, I can but need to gather my thoughts in order to do that. You see, the reason that I'm struggling is that it wasn't what I expected. I'm not sure what I was expecting. Probably a chapter on each play with a recollection written by Judi with some anecdotes and humorous insights. And it was all of this and yet, it was much, much more.
