Going to be 32 degrees tonight.
The sunflowers reach for the sun
they don’t know that the summer…
the summer is done.
Still bursting with tiny, green, closed buds
and the mother plant proudly presenting
the huge yellow sunflowers that I love.
It will only take one frosty night
and then my beautiful sunflowers
you will no longer be mine.
To the ground, to the ground
sunflower petals and seeds will fall
but I know…I know you will come back
shooting up in the spring, then
once more my sunflowers
you will be mine
until the first frost of fall.
Dream by Michelle Marie & Jeanne Marie, 2020
It’s so sad when summer goes away.
I thought if my love was strong enough
Maybe this time she would stay.
So, I chased the sunshine
I kissed the sunflowers
I danced with honeybees
I nurtured wildflowers.
I ran with the butterflies
I played in the sunshine
For hours and hours and hours.
I grew daisies and vegetables
And embraced the sun showers.
I woke each morning and chased the day
Then followed the sun’s departure
As daylight slowly drifted away.
I loved this summer like it was my first,
my last and everything in-between
and when the snow covers my windows
I’ll close my eyes and I’ll dream…
I’ll dream of summer.
Sweet Little Wildflower
Surrender

Last Dance
Grasshopper Hotel
she rose above it
Have you ever noticed
when something triggers your sad
it seems to pull back the layers
of all the sads you buried
and a dozen old sads rise up in defiance
shouting out, What about me?
I’m still here. Look at me.
You buried me, you pushed me down,
but I’m still aching, what about me?
Shut up old sads.
You don’t belong here, not today.
I have enough to be sad about
in this present moment and
I don’t need a dozen selfish
old sads rising up in rebellion.
Go back to sleep old sads, hush.
You’ve already had your day.
I could give up cigarettes, coffee, sugar,
chocolate and probably even salt.
I could never let go of your memory
it’s locked securely in a hidden vault.
Yet, longings escape
like pink whispers
memories haunt me
old scars burn as
your caress lingers
lips tender on my skin
kissing the curve of my face
as you slow dance me
until you win my heart
just to walk away.
A fantasy fulfilled, too hot to hold
it dropped from my burnt fingers.
The way you made me feel, my kryptonite.
The dance ended, but the music lingers.
I’m a writer and Evernote Basic https://evernote.com/ (available for free from Google Play Store) holds my random thoughts safe until I want them back.
If I had to wait until I got home to my computer, my thoughts would be gone.
Paper notes pile up and get lost, and paper notebook articles never make it into my blog.

With Evernote, I can capture my creative thoughts before they disappear.
I can also sync two devices, which is super convenient. I use my phone and my computer.
Free apps, which work every time, are rare. I’ve paid for several that didn’t work at all.
I tried many other Android note apps before I found this program and I never found an app close to it.
Driving and writer’s flashes are handled quickly.
I pull over in the first, safe spot I see, and write what my muse wants me to and it’s safe from being instantly forgotten. This is also a great tool for when you’re moving, which I have done constantly, because you can write on your phone while on the road, and while you’re waiting for the internet company that never shows.
Evernote, you are always there when I need you, and I tell every writer I know to try your app. I’ve counted on you for over five years and you’ve been 1000 % dependable. You have saved hundreds of stories for me.
Thank you for providing the free app. I hope to be able to upgrade eventually.
I also love that you don’t flash ads in my face while I’m writing.
If you think that this is a love letter, you are correct. I just love you, Evernote.
P.S. This is an unsolicited review. I really do love this app.

New Beginnings Michelle Marie/Jeanne Marie
I looked in the mirror this morning
and the woman who once loved you
looked back at me.
I thought she died.
I tried to kill her literally, emotionally
and in every way possible because
I don’t want love that hurts.
I looked in the mirror this morning
and the woman who once loved you
looked back at me.
She’s still alive.
Sitting here watching my first ever pickling attempt, newborn Kosher Dill pickles, waiting for the pop of the jar sealing. I used my mum’s recipe and my sister, Cherie talked me through it.❤ AND…I grew the cucumbers! Yay😍
She Just Kept Walking
Angels play here…
Someone asked me why I water the weeds around my home and I said, “Because many of the weeds I have watered, turned out to be wild flowers.”
Just Wishing…
You know…
