Wash and Repeat

written by: Any1mark

Fresh earth taste wanes
Another roundhouse kick
Worn leather replaces it
Somewhere fate smiles down
Pushing buttons for responses
Pushing others patience for fun
The lesson never changes much
The results fall away in gutters
Horizons darkening future dreams
Somewhere dawn teases hope
Getting back up to start again

Mark, a traveler with a working problem. I spend my time writing poetry, flash fiction, and taking pictures of the world. I have time because I'm waiting for the Ckeveland Browns to win a Super Bowl.

I Am From by Lauren Scott

I am from my mom’s emotions
that had a mind of their own
so wild at times emulating a summer storm
I am from my dad’s humor
where smiles bloomed
but his temper too in my less patient moods

I am from flower petals I did not plant
Mom’s were nurtured – my thumbs weren’t green
yet the petals’ beauty is always seen
I am from butter, sugar (granulated and brown),
vanilla, baking powder and soda,
and nuts, yes, sometimes this is the case,
and chocolate chips in their tantalizing ways...
