Literary Crumbs: Poems & Short Stories to Savor by D. Ryan Lafferty

  • If I Make It Out The Door

    I stubbed my toe this morning after falling out of bed, and choked on my two aspirin meant to sooth my aching head. I fell into my bureau while I was slipping on my drawersand then I straight face-planted down head-first upon the floor. My comb ripped knots and tangles while pulling out my hairand Read more

  • I’m Feeling Fine

    My head’s a little warm today and think I’ve got the chills…My throat is somewhat scratchy and I don’t like the way it feels.

  • Waiting

    Patiently I’m waiting, trying my hardest to keep still…If I don’t move a muscle soon, I think I might turn ill. My legs just started shaking and my fingers tapping too…I’ve shaded all my doodles and picked at all the glue. I’ve folded up my paper into origami art,I’ve counted up those ceiling tiles and Read more
