Fractured

written by: Tissy Taylor

@raisingtissy

Pieces unfitted strewn
across a carpet bare
Shattered heartbeats fragile
worn with frightening care

Unwashed deliverance
beneath a godly stare
Emptied sins like crimson
stations, buyers beware

Sifted madness fleeting
with nary stream or fare
Orphaned conscience taking
sanity from our wares

Flight into dark shadows
naked this cross to bear
Unsettled wings soaring
like leadened wreaths despaired

Doug Stanfield (Hemmingplay)

“Hemmingplay,” is the pen name of Doug Stanfield, who grew up on a family farm in western Ohio, went with his parents for two years in Karachi, Pakistan, in high school and had lived, until recently, in Bellefonte, PA with his late wife, Wilda and their two sons, Ben and John. Doug was a writer, editor and director of internet communications at Penn State for 26 years. He has had a few disreputable occupations, including newspaper reporter and editor, and public relations flak, but is trying to make amends for his sins by writing poetry and fiction. When his sons were safely off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer one day, stared at the screen, and began to learn the craft anew at age 67. Doug has published three books: "Mermaid Sisters: First Dive", a children's book; "I Came From A Place of Fireflies" and, "Snowflakes & Ashes: Meditations on the Temporary”.
