Hey there little miss loneliness
It’s time to start the show
Pick your font and start to type
Let your feelings flow
Words stand at the ready
To fill the empty page
You can pepper them with nuance
For you, all the world’s a stage
Let heartache be the recipe
Your pain can feed the fire
Add some numb and emptiness
Desperation and desire
Colors swirl around you
In a melancholy haze
I bet you could write a thousand words
You’ve been at it now for days
Fingers peck out an alphabet
That produce some rhyme and verse
It’s really quite amusing
How the gift can be the curse
What will be the distance
Will we travel with you far
To unravel all the mystery
See who you really are
Hey there little miss loneliness
It’s time to start the show
We are all here waiting for you
Tell us what you know

About the Author
I never thought the word “writer” would be used to describe me and the thoughts that tumble out of my head onto paper. It’s a new me, giving away words all neatly packaged up in rhyme.
I have lived in the interior of Alaska off and on for nearly twenty years. Alaska gets in your blood. It lures you in then takes your soul hostage, becoming part of who you are, who you become. Every summer, the days are warm, long, and inviting. Tourists descend in droves, racing toward the next adventure, and a rich, colorful history provides plenty of businesses with trinkets to sell the Alaskan nostalgia. Anything seems possible when you are standing outside at midnight and the stars are nowhere to be found. That is until winter rolls back around.
