Her youthful beauty flickered flaming greed as driven suitors waited patiently. Too pretty for her own good, they would say as she succeeded them all graciously. It was as if on the day she was born, her mother taught … Continue reading
Sitting Duck
Plumed feathers rustle In gentle appreciation Of each others company; They love freely without hesitation. Not a wandering thought While by each others side, For hearts held synchronized harmonies; Their love devout without thoughts of why. Until the … Continue reading

The Great Bear
Hannah Whitman was an only girl Who lived with Dad and three brothers. She never knew her mother Pearl. Beyond them there were no others. Hannah grew up like any man And was nobly slain like one too. Hunting in the forest they ran For a great stag they did pursue. All three brothers tested their luck But not one could land a true hit. Hannah aimed her bow at the buck, With one shot he fell in a fit. When her father went to inspect, Out the woods did come a great bear And with a charge on him it leapt The sons only watched in despair. Bow in hand, she took a deep breath Hannah aimed and hit the bear’s side It roared aloud and cursed her death Running at her like a flood tide. But Hannah shot one more arrow, Which embedded in the bear’s chest But then she fell under her foe. From the bear’s grasp she tried to wrest. The dying bear made one last try. With a strong swipe it broke her neck Murder achieved, it too did die. Atop its kill fell in a wreck. Hannah’s father ran to her side But by then it was all too late. Saving her father’s life she died Now Hannah is at Heaven’s gate.
