calamity... in denim torn from wear just like the flannel worn too often... softening the threads of time and hollow hearts... and no... she wasn't 'cool' at all a joke at school a flower's wall of sacrifice she felt the harsh of childish games and names with blades her silver buckle played the light of dreams within her solitude... and leathered in the fringe of her she found a better place... to face... Calamity in denim... worn... -Vicky L. Raynes "When the power of love overcomes the love |

Well now, that was sure some write, and an all too familiar one to a lot of kids in school really that I hope don't ever have to write about how hurt they were. You don't post often enough for sure. |

smiling wide here... You just outdid yourself and more than met my expectations (which are always high with you) and I am chuckling a bit @ Chrislane... um...  I gave her the same challenge!  Brava, sweet friend! I love you too.  |

Vicky, this is a wonderful write.... as all of yours are. While I was reading, I was thinking the same as Sharon wrote in her reply. There are so many children in school who are made fun of for so many different reasons. Children (as well as grown-ups) can be cruel when they want to be.....sometimes without even realizing it, I think. Well, sweet lady, I didn't mean to write a book. You just always make me start thinking. You can write what you think as well as anyone I've ever read before. By the way, I miss our chat's too. Heart Hugs,  Hey, I'm learning a little PSP!!  |

a flower's wall of sacrifice Vic, well said, indeed I can surely relate, that single line cuts deep . . . |

Well - This gem is surely making a hit.. Whatever the challenge was indeed. I think you met it in style. This is a work that stands in its own right, with or without the inspiration behind it... |
