“The Mother of Boys Hands on the cupboard and shoes in the hall. Toilet seats up and there’s mud on the wall. The shelves in the kitchen are constantly bare.

I’m not a princess, a queen, or a beautiful forest fairy. I don’t host tea parties, rule over elegant soirees, or sprinkle magic fairy dust. No, none of those things. Nor am I the venomous spider with a black body and red markings; a spider that eats the male partner after mating. I am not… Continue reading A – Z Blogging Challenge, Raising Boys: The Penis Chronicles presents the Letter B for Black Widow

Emerging Palate

Writing Sparkle

At first the scent is strong and lingering. The mouth salivates unwillingly, craving the moment when the two will become one. An infant’s desire to rush the moment, not realizing… Bitter and overpowering – scrunching up the face and swallowing fast. A desire to get the moment over with quickly. The taste rolls around, inescapable,… Continue reading Emerging Palate

If we were having coffee… This morning as I was spooning a dollop of creamed honey onto my toast and peanut butter while simultaneously enjoying the smell of fresh coffee brewing I thought of my grandmother.

Eluded Haunting me – your eyes, your smile burnt behind my eyelids with a whisper of you soft against my earlobe. You’ve progressed in your actions, no more hiding behind smiles. You linger in the moments, and hold me with you. Our blatant actions are leading. Passion mounts behind the games you play as you… Continue reading Something desired, but failed to attain: Poetic Trilogy
