    Crack and the White Picket Fence


    Sweet frames that held
    Times precious
    Bubbled and placed in new
    Cardboard boxes leaving
    Stark naked walls
    Stripped of all that truly matters.


    Mothers treasures passed
    Down from her own and then to me
    Lie in yesterdays newspaper
    Whose headline should scream
    In huge black print
    Lives Blown Up.

    are you capable of writing anything that is NOT wonderful? you intimidate me into writing again, after a 20 year lapse. (note: watch spelling, ie precious.it didn't bother me, but would others)
