SILENT FILMS
What if like in silent films
We only got the chance to say what was important and meaningful to our story,
What if all the babbling was cut out and we were straightforward,
So we'd have to think before we talked, as we sat alone and quietly clarifying our thoughts about a subject,
Would we speak of things to others more accurately?
What if like in silent films
Our expressions on our face and our gestures were more telling,
Us expressing our emotions more often,
Would we all become more genuine?
What would we look like if we were being watched as a silent film as we act like we do NOW?
I don't think the world would make much sense.
2006

Poetry: The good old days
Me and her, summer days wasting our lives away,
Not caring about tomorrow, just living for today,
Not worrying about what
Remember when dad was around
back when we were young
back before we knew sadness
and life had just begun
Back when days of summer
by Jyl Phillips
Tell me that story again Mommy…
Daddy lift me high above your head till I can’t giggle anymore…
Surround
by Sarah Terzo
"Words for Winter"
It's summer and
Warm sun beats down
I hunt bees
Stepping on each lazy buzz
I hear the boys with bicycles
by Kay Bee
Remember the good times
They'll serve you well
When life is hard
As tough as hell
Hot summer nights
Lying in bed
His strong shoulders
