The Long Count Calendar, Cycle One Ends

December twenty-first, two thousand and twelve –
The Mayan long count calendar sets sights on that year.
Are there ecological and cosmic questions to delve?
Is it time for modern man to panic and fear?

The reckoning at hand, according to Mayans,
Began with...

Black and white Advent calendar
I will make you red and green
Haven't you heard the red oleander
Dropping its last leaf for December sheen

Growing up with bullets in the Taliban
Blood spills into the streets of Kashmir
Still the Calendar craves and calls for
Gold, Frankincense and balmy myrrh

Whenever the...

The Calendar                  

A calendar hangs on the wall.
A clock beside the bed.
Another day is about to dawn,
But all my world feels dead.

With pen in hand I cross the...

My Birthday,The Calendar Speaks

The calendar speaks
Of this day, seventy years ago, when

Of thick, black  hair.  And...

"Calendar Caviar"

Windy Winter,
Snowy, chilling cold,
Shivering frosty flakes blow.

Winter runs from Spring peeking back
With childlike eyes, seasons hide and seek.

Showery Spring rains,
Thunder, lightening on window panes,
With patriotic claims to so inflame.

Summer beckons breezes wave,
Vacations in deep...

While looking for Viagra
with passion on its brink,
I dropped the little box of pills
they all went down the sink

Now on the pack it clearly says,
40 minutes take to work, so I
was keen to find them quick
and haste I did not shirk

My love was waiting in...

Where has it gone
Those lazy days of sunshine
Making the flowers excel in their presence
What has happened, where did it go.

It's alright, just a seasonal change
The calendar is slipping towards Autumn
Soon we will have those shivering, wet days
Some sunlight, to begin with then
with the shortening days,...

Twelve Months Calendar

January Dawning
Polar vortex abounding 
Winter continues

With war breaking out 
Invasion of Ukraine

March madness continues
The war intensifies
COVID fears fading

April fears intensify
The taxman cometh for us 
Deadly Yellow Dust

May ends with her birthday
Preparing to travel again
Ready to...

Haiku Calendar 
(January to December in the Southern part of the U.S.A.)

snow and more snow falls 
cold wind and more cold wind blows 
all branches are bare 

starving and weak birds 
a chill grips before sunrise 
fall from bare branches 

warm afternoon wind 
thin morning...

Per the Mayan Calendar the world was to end on the twenty-oneth of December!

I called my preacher who knows about celestial things and he couldn't remember,

Receiving any such revelation from his Boss Up There about any pending disaster!

I breathed an unfeigned sigh of relief since...

Another three hundred and sixty-five days,
I give thanks to God when I pray
New chances to take; new memories to make
Let’s start new with a clean slate
Time for love not hate
Family and friends have come; and gone
I’ve learned to leave the past and move on
This year...

Calendar cats are the Pussy élite.
Silky or spiky, or butch, or effete,
Calendar cats are a privilege to meet …
They’re, oh! SO beautiful!

    My Bubble’s a bit smelly, and he doesn’t seem to care,
   And his poor old baldy belly has...

Committed  time  brings  change
Chart of  days  within  months
Chain of  weeks for  the  year
Column and rows, time flows
Circle the days those gone 
Capture good memories   
Cherish life till it lasts
