Like the Emperor
lacking in any clothes
in any wit
he prances
and preens upon the world stage.
Loud and crass
wearing diamond blasts
thinking all will play his game.
He struts upon the carpet red
never noticing the stains or tears.
He sits upon the dais
looking up in wonder at those….
those he has spurned
those he has slighted
those who eat on gold
who drink from goblets of sterling silver
never realizing how they laugh at this toad.

A single hard working mom of a soon to be teenage son. A poet and story teller I have wanted to write since I was a child. This space is where I share stories about myself and my life and the creative poetry that stirs my soul. My hope is you will pull up a chair and a cup of coffee delving into the world that I offer and you find simple enjoyment for a few moments.
