Overwhelming machines
a worrisome screen –
none of us could’ve foreseen
what was to change our routine.
Everything was so clean –
stainless with an eerie glean.
I felt myself growing lean
between hospital cuisine
and little caffeine.
All we did was for our little bean,
the pump, medicine, and saline.
Though the world seemed mean –
what had gone unseen
turned out to be our perfect scene.

Simply put, I'm a thirty something single mom of three young boys with a passion for reading and writing. Writing, and reading for that matter, has been a passion since elementary school when a friend and I had our short collection of poetry published through the school where it was on display in the library for an entire year. While I still enjoy poetry, my love has grown into short stories and full length novels. Tag along for the journey, it'll be documented here every step of the way. View more posts
