Brianna had a special kind of magic
the way she could make people shine
with the power of her praise.
Like Christmas lights turned on
at Christmas, smiles would light up their faces
when she said nice things to them.
Even old Mrs Guttenheimer, who rarely ever smiled,
glowed when Brianna complimented her.
She had the greatest interpersonal skills
everyone who knew her said.
But she let everyone down when she became a con artist
and scammed friends and rich investors out of millions.
Now she’s in San Quentin despite her interpersonal skills
that didn’t save her from a long prison sentence.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
