LUNA OF MIDNIGHT DREAMS Luna rises to greet the Night slowly making her way resolute and sure, as she ascends and travels across the sky toward the magic hour of midnight dreams. Full moon harvest moon, golden and bright, finally losing herself within the light of the dawn and in passing says goodbye to the […]
WITHIN THE IN-BETWEEN BY BARBARA K A CHERYL’S PALS COLLAB I heard the words as they danced through my head in that in between time between asleep and awake, or so it seemed, for I really couldn’t say where I was or what time of day. Having lost all […]
LOOKING FORWARD TO VACATION I’m looking forward to vacation, can’t get it off my mind; it’s that time of year, and I hear vacation calling me. I’m dreaming of that day real soon when my flight lifts off the ground and takes me to the warm beaches I love and palm trees gently swaying in […]

And as […]
TRES CHIC AND MAGNIFIQUE I’ve heard the explanations of what chic’s supposed to be, c’est magnifique, tres chic, merci beaucoup, and beautiful in every way. No chips, no dents, no scrapes at all, that’s how chic’s supposed to be. At least that’s how it was explained to me. But I don’t go along with any […]
