CONTRAST                                  

My sister and I, in contrast,

became the bookends of our tome;

world traveler escaping home,

while I tried to escape my past.

Alone, she found freedom at last,

I searched for a prince to save me.

To wish for what could never be,

to ask for what was never mine,

a perfect man, almost divine…

civilized into destiny.

 

HAIKU:  Child and Grow 

Grow children who love,

for brambles cannot form in

a gardener’s care.
