Notes About The Poem

Traffic is Finally Moving

I’ve got nothing done today.
I’ll get nothing done tomorrow.

That is to say, not the normal.
Still, much was accomplished.

A gift dropped off. A photo moment.
A long talk with an emergent friend.

Cardio and Tai Chi; time outside,
where traffic is finally moving,

that is to say, streets with cars
and Queen of Hearts is open.

All in all, an uncommon day,
but productive and stupendous.

There is much to check off.
Tomorrow’s another offbeat day.

Time is flying by,especially as you get older, maybe it's because we're not as quick as we once we're. We shouldn't waste a second, of course bad weather can hamper our schedule. Hope it didn't affect you Kim. Tom

Wasn’t too bad here. Some icy roads and the people get crazy when weather hits. Thanks, Tom!

Just normal stuff but I really like how you expressed it. Have you noticed how fast the days are flying by?

So fast, yes! In a way, the weather made everyone take a rest…a breath. Hugs to you my sweet friend
