Happy endings
are all alike
touched with tendings
towards a big strike
for the good side
And bad’s denied
before their score

In response to the 5 September 2019 daily
Smitten Book Challenge prompt at the
Brave & Reckless blog and based on the title
of a well-regarded book where the main
character is a lesbian or a woman exploring
her sexual identity, "Happy Endings Are All
Alike" by Sandra Scoppettone.

Here Is The News
The world it burns
with so much hate
My stomach churns
to see this fate
Why can't we all
just go play ball?
The rules - and fools!

Celebration
Flashes and booms
thrill eyes and ears
But in some rooms
they trigger fears
of haunted pasts
with ghostly casts
PTSD
