Just on the cusp of experiencing joie de vivre,
the triumvirate of Crooks and Quade
figuratively swoop down
to announce re: inspection
of apartment unit B44
whenever they deem appropriate.
Thus series of unfortunate events
(linkedin with bull limey
Lemony Snicket bro)
got sidelined nsync with
contracting a minor bout
with deadly Amish Flu
symptoms found garden variety reasonable rhymer
bedridden feeling a little horse and buggy (ha),
incapacitated to craft signature poetry writing.
An honest to dog confession
regarding hiatus spewing forth
vociferous versatile vocabulary
mine words - worth their weight in gold
(told woofer I do not know), nevertheless
included perusing a gamut of reading material.
The passion to engross intellect
witnessed courtesy immersing
attention, concentration, excitation
gratification, intoxication;
knowledge prized more precious
than fine spun gold.
Likewise crafting (albeit painstakingly)
elusive notions that flit
to and fro hither and yon
(analogous to ping pong ball)
within parameters of
microscopically crenellated
sixty plus shades of gray matter
also constitutes fervent interest.

Tall, back broad, voice resonant and deep. Chisel stone gaze within crenellated keep.
Lightening and thunder; argument claws the air. Mirror image endures; my frailty laid bare.
Conflict in your eyes. Hold fast a while. Remember! All that has been; your safe keep
and nurture.
Let's put aside our differences. Accept what I am: My Son grown up and now a man.
What care now I if you are foolish, should fail. More than life itself my love, take my
hand and prevail.
Live well and love. Have courage; battle when you have to.Learn from mistakes and raise
your child like when I first met you.
