Perpetually Typing

Clothes used to matter. Now I don’t even fix supper. There is food here Thanks to my husband. I am typing All the time Perpetually typing Delighting in it Stuck to a computer Hours upon hours Throwing down my truth So when I die People can throw the clothes out But maybe Just maybe Please maybe they will not throw out my words. Finally reading them for the very first time….

My husband owned a restaurant for 30 years - he therefore loves to cook there is no question about who is the boss in the kitchen, he even tidies up after, so I am also able to find the time for poetry soup otherwise with our business taking up all our daytime hours, I wouldn't be able to do what I do - aren't we lucky. As for my poems being read, my son says mom, you have them up in the cloud, I'll always have them - hope he means it, but I'm sure he does. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I know he means it! A husband who knows how to cook. And we BOTH have them! I keep telling my husband he would be a wonderful short order cook and we should buy a restaurant! Maybe in my next career change.

An instant FAV!!! I often wonder whether my husband and other friends will read my stuff when I'm gone... Sometimes I get discouraged, but I have to keep creating something to have meaning in my life. I am SO GLAD that you keep on typing!! You are a treasure, and I know that your poetry will live on for generations to come! ;)

I keep typing and typing and typing for what reason? So my children and grandchildren will have something after I am gone and they have burned all my paintings.

I do hope so! If not, I shall haunt every single one of my relatives and in a mean way.

I do hope they at least PEEK at them if I am no longer here. Then they can remember I existed. I do not believe in tombstones. I loathe them.
