Fractured – This Week’s Picture It & Write
Snap. I wondered if I would be able to see my pink beanie in the photograph. It had been at least three weeks since Christmas had arrived and left, and yet I found a Christmas ball upon this tree. Hanging. Dangling. I felt the strange urge to reach out and snap the twig. Snap. I watched it fall, gracefully into the snow with a thud. It didn’t break. I could still see my damn reflection. The seemingly perfect sphere wasn’t so perfect. I could see marks of erosion and decay, like the ornament had developed cancer. My distorted reflection laughed at me, at my failed career. I kicked my reflection. Smash. It broke into a million, fractured pieces in the snow.

And as there it lay
broken before my eyes
That momentary reaction
how I did despise
When it was because
my character they attack
While saying that there was
a “something” I did lack
To make me feel less
so they could feel more
Deserving of the praise
that they just lived for
Yes, I have many fractures,
little cracks and flaws
But I get them honestly
each one has a cause
They call my life
a mess and failure
And yet I have to wonder
if the same they could endure
I’ve taken every punch
still on my feet standing
I will not ever buckle
in this world so demanding
I’m sorry oh little orb
I took it out on you
When at the moment it seemed
you were laughing at me too
If my life was solid
without cracks in my ball
However could my light
shine through then at all?
Of who I am today
I truly must be proud
And to all the haters
I’ll scream it out loud!

The Frog & The Fairy
(image source: google.com/images)
The frog and the fairy
one day did converse
On why none were merry
in the magical universe
A wicked witch did very
their land of wonder curse
Feeding all a poison berry
how could it be any worse?
-
“I think I might know,”
the fairy did say
“Where we should go
to find out the way!”
But a foul wind did blow
as the sky turned gray
The evil power to show
of the witch that day
-
Who was hovering near
and listening to those two
Just so she could hear
what they planned to do
When it became clear
that the fairy knew
The more and more fear
in the witch then grew
-
As suddenly the frog went
re-deep, re-deep, re-deep
And fairy knew he meant
the secret she must keep
As the kingdom spent
a little time asleep
The wizard could prevent
the spell to further creep
-
Frog took fairy’s hand
into the sky they flew
For they did understand
now what they should do
To save all the land
and put an end to
What the witch had planned
and her evil spell undo!
