Women Dream Don’t They

written by: Ladybug

Dreams flow in on thunder claps of darkened sky,
Amid beguiling life strife and toilsome burdens.
Women dream, don’t they, and move beyond
What seems limited, bound for unfulfilling moments?

Women dream in colors, schemes, and bountiful images.
They climb successful ladders of corporate hob-knob
And dare to yell their heart-felt dreams above the clouds.
Strong, purposeful, and sensitive are they and oh so bold.

Women dare to dream don’t they and emit their own thunder?
In claps of dominant traits and volcanic ash of pursuit.
Women dream their dreams without failing to feel,
What is important and held unfathomed in the world.

Women dream don’t they and possess mentality of success?
Dare they pursue their dreams within their own domain?
Yes, women can dream and spew ash and thunder claps.
Amidst life’s tragedies they rise, they rise to dream again.

I am having two children’s audio books and two articles published in 2023. Although I reside in Oregon with my daughters and two cats, I have lived most of my life in Louisiana. I also do logic puzzles and design graphics. My ‘Southern Belle’ charm comes through in my writings.

A Christmas Heckler by John Christopher

“With your vote tomorrow—” The Governor raised his hands to quell thunderous applause. “With your vote, we can end this foreign invasion once and for all. America for Americans!”

This wasn’t just a slogan for Governor Bishop DeCulpat. It was a life’s crusade. In his border state, it was his family, his neighbors who’d borne the brunt of the social costs of the flow of migrants across the border. They’d been pushed to a boiling point. Now, it was time for action.

Hearing the signature catchphrase of the campaign, the audience erupted once again, the ovation magnified by the white marble column of the Statehouse rising at the Governor’s back, drowning out The Vince Guaraldi Trio’s Christmas is Coming blaring from the speakers...
