[Poetry] Wrinkled by the Sun

Wrinkled by the sun,
Still a beauty outdone by none.

[Criminal Minds Fanfic] The End

They jumped out of their vehicles, sirens flashing, guns loaded, and FBI vests secured.

“Matt, you and JJ take the back of the barn. Tara, you go in the front with Luke,” Unit Chief Emily Prentiss ordered as her team dispersed.

“Something’s not right,” Agent David Rossi said, his keen eyes scanning the deserted field. “Where’s the unsub’s car?”

[Poetry] A Quiet Place

I’m looking for a place
That is peaceful and quiet,
For a moment of calm
Among the days of riot.

A voice whispered, “The world
Will always make an awful din,
Unless, darling girl,
You first calm the chaos within.”

[Poetry] Our Song

Her laugh was the melody,
Like wind chimes in the breeze.
The harmony was the way she’d
Win every argument with ease.
The chorus was the first time
She whispered she loved me,
But my favorite part about her song
Was how it played for eternity.

Wealth — A Haiku

Between the starlight,
And the grass stretching beyond,
Our wealth knows no bounds.

[Poetry] Sisters

We met when we were fourteen—
An untamable butterfly of a girl,
A girl hiding from herself,
And me, a shy, bookish dreamer.

We grew up over the next ten years—
A young woman flying too high,
A young woman lied to by love,
And me, a young woman in the shadows.

[Poetry] Retreat

I dream of writing
On the back of a great eagle,
Brown and white feathers soaring
Through an endless cerulean sky.

I dream of writing
Surrounded by bookshelves,
Wrapped in the hushed whispers
Of a million adventures.

A Spoiler-Free Review of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

On April 27, 2019, I passed by Lyric Theatre for the first time since Harry Potter and the Cursed Child opened there, saw the amazing marquee outside, and promised myself I’d save up and watch the play…eventually. 

On November 3, 2019, through a combination of clever budgeting and timely discounts, I watched the play! (Broadway prices are no joke, let me tell ya.)

Today, I finally blow the dust off my photos and share my spoiler-free review. Here we go!

[Poetry] New Year Musings

Laughter rings in one corner
Of card games and revelry,
In another corner, gossip
Is exchanged with cups of tea.

Golden mandarins are piled
Next to plates of unfinished food,
And incense slowly burns,
Trailing serenity through the room.

[Poetry] I Miss…

Running through sprinklers
On a summer day in the park,
Seeing stars in the sky
Instead of the dark.

Looking at the world
Through rose-colored eyes,
Believing I could be anything
Before life showed me otherwise.
