Todays Poem

Damp dark day out there while the world in here is shining warm as flames lick charring logs and kettle sounds of glub glub glub arise from my kitchen all comfort shrouded in terrycloth robe the morning paper becons with news about elections news about rejections news about confections news about recollections.... and in this mystical world there is still peace and the enjoyment of damp dark day mornings Damp dark day out there not going to work today and don't need an alibi there is this tenderness with my canine companion who snuffles against my shoulder her long white fur smells air fresh as my partner bursts into laughter that lifts our hearts up we share the little beastie much like parents do with their progeny- and as she laughs this damp dark day turns into a dry bright day within me so that even when it rains rainbows can still be painted over the sunshine of being human.
