I wrote this after I suffered a disappointment. (I wondered where this poem had gone. Found it taped in one of my journals.)

RAW Journal Kernels – Fertile
Don’t we all feel this way sometimes?
Raw Journal Kernels – 3
More of these “kernels.” Before long, I might have a whole cob!! Maybe even start remembering past events!
“Skimming through these old treasures, I had this thought: “What if I shared kernels, bits of my past from numerous journal entries?”
So, here I go, making myself vulnerable. Again.” – from Raw Journal Kernels- 1 and 2.
I remember now! Vacationing in Whistler, Canada.
“Patience!” I yell.
Patience is a virtue, the empress to us all
I yell to her, I seek her aid
But she ignores my call.
She jumps across a sage-lined fence
And into waters swell
My hope is that I catch her soon
And, then, my breath as well.

Daily Prompt: Elicit
Rising from the Ashes
The girl from yonder when she slept
On pillow soft
Had dreams she kept
Beneath the down of feathers laced
With tears she saved from when she wept.
And stored within the liquid flow
Were thoughts of life
But dreams of gold
And memories of stories shared
Were kept inside
But never told.
When the morning timely rose
She stretched her arms in firm repose
And told herself in solemn vows
She would not dwell upon her woes.
-MWD (aka, me)
Flames of courage.
Note: MWD is a character from one of my novels but “her” poetry never made it to the final product. This poem is only one of many.
