“Being a creature of the night, it is an obvious spirit animal.”

“Ah, so you identify as a skunk?”

“That’s not funny, Gordon.  Do that one more time and I take back the spotlight.”

Silent (an acrostic poem)

She drifted to the back of the room

It just felt more comfortable being out of the spotlight

Liza didn’t like performing on demand

Even when she was paid for it she had such anxiety

Now allow her her quiet space and she blossomed

That was hard when you were master of ceremonies
