For RDP Thursday: GLABROUS

The leaves of the Holly tree are smooth, inflexible and sharp.

From a distance and up close Holly leaves look  like little green bones that have been glued to tree branches and splashed with  blotches of red.

When it snows and the leaves start to turn white, it looks like the Holly Tree is growing a skin and as the skin stretches over the frame,  you can see the tree the Holly  tree that could have been –

just like a human skeleton in a museum or a forensic lab waiting for an artist to give it back it’s face.

RDP Monday:  SUPERFLUOUS

 My family would  know true bliss, if the dark cloud that is me would float away, get tangled in some trees or maybe trapped on a mountain side never to be seen or heard from again.

Nobody would have to listen to my laugh like a chimp, ooze and creep around our home like a slug or a hungry blow fly looking for it’s next meal.

My family’s Christmas pictures and family portraits would be something they could share with their family and impose about everyone else.

I would like for them to know that sense of perfection that springs self confidence.

So I am going to stay with them, be with them, attach myself to each breath they take so they will know what it is like to be me –

and I hope they enjoy it as much as I do.

RDP Wednesday: GALOOT

It’s okay to a loner

it is absolutely  okay to look like a monster who woke up on the ride side of the coffin

it’s okay to never not know what the right thing to say is

it’s okay to be awkward and silly and have a laugh that makes people wince and say, ” what the heck is that sound coming out of your mouth? ”

Some  people will  tell you these are faults-

they are not.

Never let anyone tell you otherwise because that is NOT okay.

EVER.
