Blooming flowers, bright and sweet.A special place in summer heat.Golden sun and bright blue sky.Gorgeous sights for human eye.Towering trees with leaves of green.Bees and birds fly in between.A day with friends, enjoy it so.Makes me never want to go.I love this place. It’s plainly clear.The beauty that is Chanticleer. Read more

There is a placethat comforts me.Where I can rest my weary bones,upon a spot that feels like heaven.Sweet and special.Where I am covered in the softest blanketthat hugs me as a storm rages outside.A place where I rest and feel safe,and refresh myself after day’s end.As I drift off to distant lands,where I can see… Read more

Easter was always the same, year after year. The boy who couldn’t speak got an Easter basket filled with various candies of all colors….pink, purple, green, and light blue.

Always a groomsman, never a groom.This is my future. This is my doom.As others move on and go forth in their life.As they marry a husband.

Awake and alone.Stuck in the voidbetween autistic and not.A person with differences.Not like the rest.Who wants a connectionand can’t give a sign.So alone and so lonely.Wishing for someoneto reach out a handacross such a chasmthat is endless and deep.Wishing and hoping.Day after day.Year after year.Stuck in the voidthat is no place to live. Until one… Read more

Waking up to muffled hush.Snowy blanket on tree and brush.Man and beast are huddled down.Surrounded by this wintry gown.A frozen land, so clean and white.A sparkle through the morning light.A silent crystal world out there,with sharp and biting frigid air.As here I sit, with blankets warm.Escaping from the winter storm.My cozy home, so warm and… Read more

Revel in the beauty there.Sounds of Christmas in the air.Sparkling lights on every tree.Glorious sights for eyes to see.Red and green on holly boughs.Silver, gold, and blues allow…the holiday spirit into our heart.A world of magic and of art.Evergreen, oh Tannenbaum.Standing tall, so big and strong.Splendid sounds. A fountain sprays…in synchrony with songs of praise.The… Read more

The time of year…comes by so fast.My favorite part?Oh, must you ask? A hundred lineswrapped round the store.We wait for hours,or maybe more.

The table’s crowded.No place to sit.How will all thesepeople fit? There’s… Read more
