Green Emerald Birth
Created from unlikely conditions
Her rarity is assured
Visible fractures and inclusions are
Evidence of distress and legacy
Contributing to her unique
Multifaceted formation
Hard yet fragile
Teeming with life renewed
Destined to perpetual rebirth

Party To The Crime
I see you. You thought no one would. You see me see you. Now, what? I shake my head and walk over to the table.
I have responsibilities. I am a chaperone.
You hang your head anticipating the worst.
“Don’t do that again,” I say and pick up a plastic cup, filling it from the bowl.
You flash a crooked smile. “Okay.” You say and hurry off.
It’s been a long time since I have had spiked punch.
I am not very good at this adulting thing.

Shades of Green
You wish you had what I had.
I’m sorry; don’t be so sad.
Shades of green were never your color.
It had nothing to do with the value of the dollar.
Coveting so obviously just makes you look bad.

Superstitious Insomniac
Under the ladder and over the crack,
At the witching hour, it crossed my path; it was solid black.
The mirror shattered, so I crossed my fingers and knocked on wood,
Just a pinch of salt over my shoulder should be good.
Unfortunately, on Friday the 13th the cat ate my four-leaf clover for a snack.
