"Remember...horses have small shoes too."


Recently, I discovered that my checking account has got no money to pay for what I've discovered at the mall with my Discover (from a sermon I heard).

Just finished the Christmas Eve service for my church and I'm just starting to realize that I haven't realized that it's Christmas tomorrow.

I'm so tired I can't think straight. And the keyboard I shipped through UPS is just not powering on. I'm waiting for the insurance people to call on Tuesday. I WAS A SECOND AWAY from turning down the insurance.

As far as my piece, I've gathered some poems I thought were worth looking at from my high school's literary publication. I think it might be interesting to focus on teenage maturity/immaturity through my peers' musings in high school.

Here's one:

A Brief Moment by Fran Sellers

as i looked back
all i saw was their silhouette
the dark outline of romantic embrace
and the edge of the garage door
sketched
on the threshold of my own emotion
and my desire
to know what it was like

gorgeous...or this one.

Tears for the Crown by Lily Law

I weep for the poor
the ignorant
the rich
the lost
the animals
the very ocean, the dreams left barren
But most of all,
I weep for myself
For I am
Born human
And heir to all
the misfortunes of
the breed
