For a Nail

1. So you'll have something to hammer your frustrations out on.
2. To hold up the walls.
3. For holding the roof shingles in place.
4. To build a birdhouse.
5. To pin the carpet to the tack strip.
6. So you have something to pop balloons with.
7. You need something to pin the tail on the donkey with.
8. To secure the lid to a box.
9. So you can hang a picture.
10. So when someone says something really funny, you'll be able to give them one and say that they, "nailed it".

The Park Bench

A lot happens in the park, and all can be seen from the bench.
Ducks swimming atop the pond, with eager quacks at the sight of breadcrumbs.
Little kids swinging and racing about the playground, releasing shrieks of joy as they race down the slide.
Elderly ladies feed the birds, cooing with the flock in the early morning light.
Young couples whisper sweet nothings beneath the trees, while joggers trot along gravel paths.
All this and more can be seen from the park bench, to those with eyes open to see.

Things to Keep in the Freezer

1. Ice. A lot of people love cold drinks, and ice is something they enjoy.
2. Chicken. It is a versatile meat that can be used in a lot of dishes.
3. Breakfast sandwiches. That way you have something quick to eat when you need to get-up-and-go.
4. Ground meat. It is another meat that can be used for many meals, and is easy to cook from frozen.
5. Vegetables. They are good for you, and many of them freeze well.
6. Ice cream. Because what freezer would be complete without a tasty treat?
7. Nuts. They taste good in desserts, and last quite a while when frozen.
8. An ice pack. Because a bit of cold on an injury helps relieve the pain.
9. Hot dogs. They are tasty, don't take too long to cook from frozen, and go with a lot of other foods.
10. Leftover pizza. Because then you can grab a slice whenever you want one.

Free

Free.
Like the wild winter wind.
Free.
Like sparks from a raging flame.
Free.
Like a smile from one you love.
Free.
Like the last thought before you fall asleep.
Free.
Like a heart that has finally healed after a break.
How free will you be?

For a Window

1. To provide light to a room.
2. To protect you from the weather.
3. So you have a breeze during hot summer days.
4. So you have something to look out during long car rides.
5. Because some help keep your house well insulated.
6. Because a door isn't always easy to look through.
7. Because sometimes art looks best when light shine through it.
8. It helps you keep an eye on the kinds when they go out to play, without you needing to go out into the snow.
9. It lets you see all the interesting things that happen to food while it is in the oven.
10. Because a wall would be so bland without one.

Leave Behind

Leave behind all you know, to get lost within the winter snow.
Let your heart be frozen by the weather, and then be thawed through time spent together,
Together with those you love, watch as the sun rises above,
Above the distant mountains, oh, what a sight.
Will this journey bring delight?

Simple Cut

It started out as a simple cut.
You couldn't even remember where you got it, only that it itched.
Oh, how it itched. For such a little thing, it became impossible to ignore after you discovered it.
A little cut, just below your elbow. How had you gotten it?
You couldn't remember, but the itching was getting worse, and nothing seemed to help.
And was it looking a bit redder now?
Should such a little cut have been gone by now? You could remember other cuts around that size being mostly healed by this time, yet this cut hadn't gotten any better.
But other then the unending itch and the ever brightening color, nothing seemed wrong.
Perhaps the doctor would know what to do...
The doctor was useless.
He couldn't find anything wrong with the cut. Not even after all the tests.
Yet a part of you was certain that something was wrong.
If only you could remember how you got the cut.
It had been almost a month now, and the cut was still there. It hadn't healed at all, and now the itching was everywhere.
What was wrong with you?
You finally got an answer tonight.
The cut burst open when the moonlight hit it tonight, and a monster consumed you.
Even now, as you felt a ravenous hunger in your gut and stared at the pale fur covering your arm, the cut was still there.
Still just a little thing, weeping slightly as it continued to itch.
Would the itchiness ever end?
You howled out the question, then followed the sound of someone's reply.
