..Sandy Hook..

this is the day...

 i made gingerbread houses 

gingerbread houses and gram cracker trains

white icing and candies for little fingers 

to fall on their homes & tickle their brains…

but news came in, early that morning 

shattering peace & dreams

now lies innocent blood shed

among those gingerbread dreams

how i wish the world would stop 

 this hate and anger fest

and all share ginger bread houses

& feast on candy train dreams…

Author's Note

One week ago...I was listening to the radio while making gingerbread houses & gram cracker trains…One cannot stop the day…but I did pause long enough, to finish a piece that had earlier started out as a joyful writing...

This poem seems like transformation of feelings, which start with joy and love of the fest gingerbread traditional cooking, and finishes with sadness. The rhymes are great and the whole poem, creates familiar emotions about something unexpected, which no one invite to come in life. so nice, Renee.

very innocent message and very honest sincere hope were expressed here. have you ever met someone who doesnt want peace to revail the world? i think if you ask anyone in this crazy world, they will tell you they hope peace revails the world, who makes wars then? for whom? dont you also think that humanbeing sucks?

Peace is a action, don't you agree?
I don't think human beings suck..evil does...
but I do stay away from mean humans, if possible...if not, I will stand up to them..

There are too many days in life lately where we hear some horrible news and the world stops. And we know, this is one of those moments we will always remember. I am tired of having these painful moments to remember. I am with you, Renee, we need more ginger bread houses and candy trains....and far far far less ugliness in this world. My heart goes out to all the families who have suffered loss for no reason.
Thank you for sharing this, lady.

~ the universe is in desperate need of your ginger bread houses and candy train dreams...

The sudden twist in the story telling was heart wrenching. This is a beautiful poem.
