Sonnets from Suburbia: Don’t Cross Me!
Yes, diversity of thought is a prickly pear. So says Lady Penelope as she bemoans the burden of always being right. Yeah….right.
Don’t Cross Me!
Don’t cross me, I’m so certain that I’m right
And challenges provoke a jerking knee.
Positions set in stone eas’ly ignite
My pers’nal fire and brimstone aimed at thee.
A hair trigger response is seldom one
That serves the greater good and rarely solves
Whatever issue satisfying none,
Eluding practices off’ring resolves.
When differing opinions take a stance
Feet in cement, no walking in thy shoes,
O’ safely wager peace hasn’t a chance
And God above our actions won’t excuse.
We could relent, deciding so to share.
Diversity of thought’s a prickly pear.
The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
