Those are some powerful words, Chuck, well-constructed.

Articulate and intelligent
those were the words I read
it took a minute to register
as they floated through my head

Those words, they were applied to you
I truly don't know why
I guess that someone else has placed you
on a pedestal way up up high

they can express their opinion
that truly is their right
so now I will express mine
on how you appear in my sight

I find you to be angry
and evil like a witch
ugly through right to the bone
you enjoy the role of bitch

you play the role so perfectly
it fits you like hand in glove
looking down your nose at us
as you've placed yourself above

tossing cruel comments about
do it without a care
the meaner the better, it's for attention
no one's feelings to spare

The sad aspect about it all
is this for you is not a "part"
I really believe you feel this way
right to your soul and heart

I've NEVER said this to anyone
but tonight I feel I'll be brave
and say Ms. Coulter, I hope the day does come
where I can dance upon your grave.

Chuck, since my stroke (and the attendant aphasia), poetry, sadly, is almost a closed book to me (seriously).

But I can still dance!!


Thanks for the post!


(Hey Chuck: can you animate this gif? Well, just thought I would ask....)

Nice work, Chuck.  You captured my own sentiments pretty darn perfectly, bud.

This Mountain

----------------------------------------------


I feel as if I'm before a mountain
and it's my job to get to the top
which is so impossibly high above me

In reality, I'm in my home
faced with what seems to be
endless responsibilities

Indecison and anxiousness
make their way through my thoughts
inhibiting my progress

It's not supposed to be this way
damn it, I'm an adult
and should be better at this

Yet somehow I feel like I fail
stuck in a trap that I've created
with no one's hand to hold

This isn't what I wanted
I expected better for myself
yet somehow, it didn't happen

I can't go around this mess
as much as I would like to
so it's time to take action

So I make a silent prayer
and focus my attention
and take my first step

Things will get better
but before that can happen
I have to climb this mountain

The day is bad
I want to cry
ya see, my man
he said "good-bye"

he gave me love
he soothed my fears
and now he's gone
and left me tears

the love he gave
was the strongest I've had
and now I'm alone
and feeling sad

The day is bad
I want to cry
ya see, my man
he said "good-bye"
