Sunsets Paint the Sky
Embracing flames of loved ones~
Memories aglow.
Shared dawning vibrant
Now distant, yet remembered~
Love never fades out
Sultry afternoons,
zest height turns to modest warmth~
Winter's smooth embrace
Awaiting midnight
Living among sunsets' glow~
Embrace memories
~ The years have treated me nicely ... I can not complain ~
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
~ Aging is something that should not be feared ~
- but tastes bad
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
~ The dessert of life ~
No thanks, I'm on diet

How to deepen the soup flavor
I feel as something is missing, frustrating
In the last year, tastes have changed
The power forms the basis of the soup itself
Maybe onions or mushrooms aren't your favourites
Sprinkle a little salt and pepper
taste or smell can actually catch the soup's interest
As pirouettes upward in the uvula
The best thing regarding the soup
is that it consists of different ingredients
Which gives a balanced blend of delicious taste to the mouth
Times have changed at such a fast rate
With technology I don’t understand
I feel like an alien in my own world
Im so completely out of date!
Oh, for the simple days of little frustration
When the t.v had four channels and it was free
You had to physically turn the t.v knob
Disputing who’s turn it was to get up and change the station
When the family phone was attached to a wall
For the whole family to use
It was big ,clunky with a rotary dial
And all it could do was call
When a camera was used to take photos
That had a film roll inside
To take to the chemist to get developed
In either “matt or gloss” to pick up in a week or so
When correspondence was hand written or typed
Enclosed in an envelope with stamp then mailed
Music was played on a record player or radio
Dishes were hand washed and wiped
Now it’s all computerised
With passwords and codes
Beeping, flashing and telling you NO
Kept in clouds in the sky!!
I know technology and progress are a need
And one has to move with the times
There are so many positives and benefits
But I miss those uncomplicated , simple days indeed!
When a burglar ate some of my expired food, it made him expire.
The next day I learned that an attorney was who I needed to hire.
They've sent me up the river for twenty years for manslaughter.
I've lost 50 pounds because they only feed me bread and water.
I wish that I had a bottle of Jack Daniels or vodka because I want to get soused.
What the hell has the USA come to when I go to jail because a thief burgled my house?
I hadn't gotten around to throwing my expired food in the trash.
Now I cry every day because my attorney took all of my cash.
Even though he took all of my money, he lost the case.
The prisoners lust after each other in this horrible place.
I can't take this prison any longer, my situation is so dire.
If you get arrested, my lawyer is somebody you shouldn't hire.
there once was a time
when i had value---
a worthy member
of society---
a respected entity;
but that was
when i was a young twig…
today i am seen as a dying
aged tree---a burden
stifling society---
a worthless stock,
leeching a monthly
survival stipend
intoxicant (SSI):
tomorrow I will try to pawn
my “forty years of service”
watch.
Your memory is
like an expired polaroid
film - I still keep it
as though it would be
the most precious treasure of
mine, yet I am
aware of the truth:
till I walk this earth I will
never take a look at it.
Spring Cleaning in the Fall
Too Late to Catch the Ball
Under a Harvest Moon
Those Hungry Hearts will Swoon
Dancing 'Neath Amber Light
Dancing Free thru the Night
Everyone's at the Ball
I'm Spring Cleaning!...That's All?
More chapters
Another journey to fulfill
Life's expectations
Forwarded
The time has expired
There's more ahead
Destiny as said
Life to live on
Give.
Old chapters in times have expired
Time for another journey
The past was then
Future goals ahead
As one being led
Beginning, to the end.
My emptied path
in your absence
my love time expired
He is retired;
His duties with care he carried!
He appears wired
Remembering unfinished tasks –
Two daughters at home unmarried …
As his benefits are tarried,
He’s found expired!
The buzzard circles.
A river of asphalt ran through the Arizona desert.
Knowledge Perishes
Formed and found by soul's effort
And then Forgotten
memory retired
died while it expired
using grew tired
my bucket list expired
I care not
nothing in it interests me
I have poetry, cartooning, dog-raising and painting
they are my go-tos now
I do not want to travel
I can see everyplace on the Discovery channel
I am more than satisfied
easily giving up river rafting
with my bad knee and worse ankles
jumping out of airplanes was never on my list
my bucket list has expired
I care not
