This was very interesting….I usually write for myself and this time I was writing knowing that it would be read and scrutinized….So I changed things a bit to let the reader in on my thought process….I felt the need to explain things better, to paint a more vivid picture for the reader, to take what I took for granted because I wrote the pieces and knew what I was thinking…so I hope you like them or at least find them interesting.

Crash
She was driving her shiny new black import down Riverside Drive. “That new car scent, so strange yet so appealing”, she thought as she peered out the window. She saw a grouping of lily white flowers and thought, “I’m sure their scent would be ambrosia to my soul”. The Carpenters (Rainy days and Sundays always get me down) was playing on the radio. She thought “It’s not raining, and it’s not Sunday”. “Why so blue Karen?” She looked down for a split second to grasp her bright stainless steel and hard black plastic coffee mug from the ergonomically correct cup holder. Looking up, horror shot through her veins like bleach, and she screamed “OH MY GOD!!!” and hit the car in front of her.

LILLY OF THE VALLEY
The smell
The smell
So intoxicating
It can take me there
Whenever I need it
I so often
Need it
In my older years
Farther from the past
I have never been
Ambrosia to my soul
Transports me to that certain
Time
Place
No worries
No doubts
No drugs
No failures
How funny that
I didn’t realize
Incredibly I would
want to come back
To a place I so
Wanted to
Leave.
