100 words - wing

The wanton breeze, blowing fickle, flickering candle flames and tendrils of loose hair, making me long to fly once again. Da Vinci had it right. I lift my arms, showing a graceful pose to the city lights far below, and lean far over the cement barrier between me and my love. With only a bit of pain, wings push through and form solid on my back. Beautiful orange, yellow, and purple feathers meld into a soothing golden glow. I gently brush tears from my face with their tips then hold them out proudly for the wind to catch. I fly.

I miss the merry peeping of tiny toads
I miss their language when the day is done
The calm, cold comfort of new life that I can't possess.

To worship on their every note would be so comforting right now
but I only hear the birds calling
singing
laughing at me waiting

The birds, they always come first
they know stuff
stuff about life and moondrops on Angels
that I will only wish to feel

Those crazy-loud birds
flying in a way that I can only dream about
and hatching a new-borne promise of enlightenment.

I worry that I won't live long enough to know
what the birds said about me.

Blue Skies!

I just wanted to show another side of me to anyone who still knows me, and my Johnnie and Debs who knew me best, and I guess I wanted to just share a bit of my soul with you all, just in case...
Trying so hard to be a "cool" skydiver, loved by everyone doesn't really make you cool or even loved if nobody really knows who you are. This is me, just me, Jeannie, a skydiver, sure, but a thinker and a poet and a geeky wanna-be, and a person filled with a need for love and living my life with integrity;a lovely person and a bitch, and an enigma even to myself. So, I give this to you freely, and I know in my heart and soul that one word of my kind, goofy soul might make a difference in yours. Just hoping, and hoping is all that life is. Why do you ask? teehee!

The cone drips sweet and sticky down my hand
Eat it fast! Don't stop 'till it's done!
So hot under me , the pavement.
Pound it fast lest my tender sole burn.
The shine, it burns my eyes!
I close them with a sigh of ecstasy
and still I see the painful color of heat.
Liquid, flowing over my body,
in my mouth; I drink it and lick my parched lips.
I want more now.
More heat , more fluid, more pounding
Delicious ice cream, sliding over my tongue,
cooling my need.
The lifeguard's whistle shrills.

I get out of the pool.

100 words - grotto

The mist has come over me now, a fog that seeps into my core, muddling everything around me. I pant and cry and run to no avail; I am enshrouded. These things that I should know elude me and I am desperate, eager to explore the grottos of my once brilliant mind. I struggle from this age-inflicted sarcophagus, and sweep the webs from the entrance to my soul. I see a dim light in the distance and labor towards it. I want to feel the cool air of reason on my skin. The cold, clean water of thought trickling down the passageways of synapse.
