Uprooted
Rejected
By what you loved
Crushed to the ground
With no resources
No roots to take

Poetry 101 Rehab: Wrapping
In response to Andy Townend’s Poetry 101 Rehab.
Everyone is wrapped
In covers
Of false faces
For others
To choose
From
Writing 101: Farewell
Writing 101: Freedom
In response to Writing 101, Day 5: Freedom.
Free from fear
It stands solid
Free from thoughts
It holds its stand
The rock remains
Free
From all
Writing 101: Seconds
In response to Writing 101, Day 4: Seconds.
Four seconds
to impact
Free fall
from top floor
A change of heart
Now
Too bad
Too late
Impact
Writing 101: Sleep
In response to Writing 101, Day 3: Sleep.
Sleep
Comes lightly
To the kitty
Curled up
On the doormat
Staring quietly
At the lady
Of the house
Blinking slowly
Meaning
I hate you the least
Writing 101: Reflections
In response to Writing 101, Day 2: Reflections.
When mortals reflect
On how to deflect
Gods or fate—
Lights dance
In the clouds
And laugh
In cosmic irony
Writing 101: Magic
Poetry 101 Rehab: Talk
Talk not
Your neighbour could be
Secret Police
Drug Dealer
Child Trafficker
Trust none
