Outlander – Book Review
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon was published in 1991 and took 23 years until it became a well-loved tv series on STARZ. With inspiration coming from the book series, and after falling in love with the show myself I had to read the books to find out where such amazing stories and characters came from. (more…)
Street Cat – Poetry
A black shadow in the night
I crawl through streets
See me run and you scream
A mangled mess of fur
I promise I am tame at heart
Left here to die I fell apart
No one looks twice
I chase a mouse
Destined to live alone
Die on these streets
I hate humanity and all it is
Forgive me god for I have sinned
Finality – Poetry
My cousin wrote a note
My father held his tongue
My brother made a video
My mother told a friend
No one told me
But everyone now looked
Watchful eyes surrounded me
Full of anger I lashed out
Tied in a jacket
Pinned to a wall
Feared for my life
Now I have none
Technology Overload – Poetry
Ones and zeroes is where it began
Behind a computer sat a man
Power hungry and angry at the world
He coded his message
Years go by and none the wiser
The trap is set and sprung
Soon the world is surrounded by tech
The man is ready
A stroke of the keys and he is in
Taking over the world
Technology is now feared, but alas is too late
For the man has won
BrieAnn – Poetry
Born to two parents
Raised in a loving home
I never knew of want
Everyday was a blessing
All I wanted was to be whole
Never ending tests, pokes and prods
Not fixed, my life is broke
Drowning – Poetry
A splash
I feel cold
Sinking fast
Lost my direction
I try to flee
Afraid of what is to be
Gulping in for breath
I give up and finally rest
Peace at last
Free

Librarian – Poetry
I stalk along the aisles
You don’t notice me
Just a woman with her nose in a book
Not a threat
Little do you know you are my mark
I silently stare
Finding it time I follow you out
Down the road and all about
You hail a cab and I climb in
Startled you speak but I chime in
Goodbye boy, you are worth a penny
I cut his throat
Leaving the cab I travel back
I open a book and once again
I am no one
