Seeds of Fairy Tales 

The seeds of fairy tales grow false.

We must chew leaves

and shroud in darkness

to grow wings of a butterfly.

NaPoWriMo 2013 Day 10

The Proper Time to Jump

My cardiologist asked the usual question,

“Have you had any palpitations lately?”

I smiled my best, I am perfectly fine grin,

and responded, “No, not even one.”

My tag a long husband picked that moment

to interject, “Tell him what you wanted to do last week.”

With a bold I don’t care what you think I informed

the doctor, “I wanted to skydive.”

With his own palpitations my doctor questioned,

 “Are you crazy? With your history of sporadic adrenaline your

heart would literally  pour out of your throat.”

Without a pause I turned to Charlie and stated,

“I want it in my will that if I am ever destined to go

to a nursing home you find me a plane and a place to jump.
