The Bench
There was a bench all covered with snow. In the woods deep inside a park. This bench sits wondering when will the people be back and sit and have conversations again while sitting on me. I so do love the sound of voices of all kinds. When will the voices return for me.

What's in Your Locker
Going back to junior high (middle school) and then on to high school ad what did you pack your lockers with day to day. To be honest the only things I actually put in my locker was my coat and books. If I close my eyes and try to remember when walking down the hallway and yes sometimes, I did peek into other's lockers.

What's in your Lunch box?
Remember going to school carrying your Scooby Doo lunch box or whatever favorite character was on it at the time. This was always a mystery to be solved when lunchtime arrived unless you requested something the night before, but you were not sure if your request would be granted. I will always remember asking for Hostess Ding Dongs or even potato chips and sometimes even pop when I got into fourth and fifth grades and above.

In the Shed
Would you live here even if it is a shed? Who could and would have lived here? This is a little old brown shed that could have been the home of a writer artist who really liked their solitude to perfect their craft. If it was possible to be a perfect writer. One that could have been a poet but wanted to write fiction or maybe become an artist of some kind to go along with their writing.

In the Dining Room
Is this what the future will be like? All the little knick-knacks, books and other little chotskies that we all save, and display will be gone. In this dining room so clean and bare there is a mystery there. The owners say there is no mystery with a smile on their faces. For if you look around shouldn't the table be set for, I thought, formal dining rooms always had the table set, as if to show off all the many treasured dishes one likes to show off right down to the placement of the silverware.

On Vacation
What is your favorite place to go to while on vacation or thing to do? Actually, to be totally truthful my place to go on vacation would be a reading room much like the one in the picture. To be locked away with so many books would be awesome to me, but I would come out for walks outside. On those walks I would probably have a book in my hands, whether a classic novel like 'Wuthering Heights' or even a contemporary novel from Nora Roberts or Patricia Cornwall or one of many children's or youth books that are out there.
