I’m an INFP on the Meyers-Brigg Personality Chart

INFP. Introverted. Intuitive. Feeling. Perceiving. A personality test has narrowed me down into a group of people with these characteristics. If you want to pinpoint and classify me into a group and this has to be it, then I can live with it. I have been for a very long time. As an introvert, I…

Twilight Has Fallen (Part 2)

  I shall continue my letter as before, dear brother. I escaped my cottage and began to run as fast as my legs would carry me. It wasn't as I wanted but I managed to get away. It wasn't by my own ability but rather - the man showed mercy. He chased me through the…

Twilight Has Fallen (Part 1)

  Dear Brother David, Had I known what I know now, I would have cancelled passage to this country and remained in London. I'm not even sure that is entirely truthful. The reasons I had for leaving in the first place was that I believed in what I heard of the promise, the potential of this…

Fly High

  Fly High   "Second star to the right Straight on till morning." Sprinkle dust, now in flight The sight is rather alarming.   The boy was never to grow, Standing taller than before And forgotten how to crow. How can the pirate have his war?   Deep behind his eyes, I can see his true…

Won’t Back Down

  Won't Back Down   In the face of inequality, Standing firm to confront - To fight the dichotomy Unexpectedly, quite blunt.   Words spoken, the boss sneers, "She's fast at productivity, Can't you act more like your peers?" Words spoke, cease my activity.   Dropping my work, I turn around The woman I see,…

An extra 60 minutes… Does it matter?

In the course of this day alone, I have written three poems (Father Time, Dreams, and The Wordsmith)  and one work of flash fiction (Revenge!). I've had so many thoughts going through my head, as it happens, because my muse - she hounds me until I've written what she says I should. It's not really a…

Father Time

        Father Time   "Lean in closer. No. Closer than that. I have a gift to offer. Spare a moment to chat?"   "It depends on what you hold. Is it free? Is there a price? Without doubt, there is a toll. You'll have to be more concise."   "I have a…
