Writer's Block Wednesdays (#17)


Welcome back to Writer's Block Wednesday. With some past pieces I've written and posted, I have stressed the words you were reading were fiction or in other words, not from my personal life experiences, but based on what I know of others. Well this week's piece is pure fact and totally based on my life. This week's word is TILT. Here's what I came up with. As always, relax, reflect and enjoy...


Joanie's Daughter
copyright 2010



i caught a quick glimpse
of myself in a mirror today

the reflection
looking back at me
was my mother

the same
tilt of her head
smile in her eyes

i've noticed
there are times
her walk
struts from my legs

her gestures
spring from my hands

her laughter
emerges from deep inside of me

her words
fall from my lips

i caught a glimpse
of myself in a mirror today

and i saw
the woman
i desire to become
