Lovely
Held. I wiped tears from your eyes; we played your favourite song sung by Etta James. "At Last", your frail frame unfolded into my strong heart beat, not missing a step we made it almost to the end, before collapsing. Anguish pushed through a slight glimmer in your grey eyes, once again fever swept over you; I wiped your brow with a cool cloth, then like white chocolate in the afternoon sun, you melted away. Our love was a last dance, a promenade of bashful memories, tender as the fledgling free from it's warmth, flightless, featherless, starving, then fed. I longed for one dance more, yet time stole us in a heated breath; at last, you will be, forever lovely.

Sand Castles and Siren Songs
This little heartfelt piece of poetry was inspired by Poppy's Prompts for February, which is linked at the end so you can join. Poppy gave several words to choose from, with the option of using one or all. Right away, "siren" and "sand castle" called out to me, and this poem was born.

A Dork To Remember
Here is a snippet of conversation I had with a writer we all know and love, and a challenge I had to follow thru with Randy: My fear is that when my time comes, Death will have forgotten my name & not know how to find me. Kelli: No way. You’re unforgettable Randy: Nightmares & bad dreams usually are, lol. Kelli: Haha dork Randy: Ah, the title for your next masterpiece: "A Dork to Remember"!
