phones back in the day my dayphones used to be for phone calls
back in the day
my day
the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties
Now phones include word games
video games, emails, reference books
text messages, voice mail, websites
Terms we did not know yet back in the day
My day
In 1964 I would have never believed that I would someday
use a phone like George on the Jetson’s...

WHAT MAKES ME SMILE
Waking up to a brand-new day with a smile—
A gentle smile.
Remembering school days with friends,
Playing in the mud with pets,
Watering my favorite rose plant,
Hoping to see it bloom... and smile.
A smile on the faces of loved ones
Lights up the path ahead with glow.
A healthy breakfast, a smooth ride—
Fueling joy to face the tasks...

Waiting for the Third Day, A Muse ChronicleMuse - Day 1, 2016
For years I had read
Not realizing what I too, had given…
I had given, just not sure what I received in return.
So, in these, my later years thinking on this...
I approached morning’s-day Muse
Fresh with the Sun.
From all I had become in the Sum of Days
Muse asked gently of me...
“Who are you?”
I...

Food AllergiesSince the mushroom poisonings, I've been cautious regarding family functions.
For Father's Day, seven relatives sat, a potpourri of dishes sprawled on their laps.
"Come dine. Jesus ate with Judas; wasn't partial to carrots!"
A brother chided.
Kudos to Him. I'll munch on these filberts, thanks.
And all parties froze....

A Checklist for 'My Day'Sunshine soul resonating joyful vibrations
In a key of kindness, modulated by mirth,
With chords of joy, arranged in light,
And a symphony of smiles—
I approach my day.
Laughter echoes and resonates warmth,
In a cadence of contentment.
My soul is tuned to joy, lilting with laughter
And soft choruses of delight.
I welcome my day.
Serenity in symphony with bliss
In cascades of jubilant...

My Last Day in OgalalaRoad work had been finished
for the winter on an asphalt strip
north of town near a nature preserve.
I said good-bye to the hotel owner
and he invited me back
although the town was a lifetime away
from my home. We shook hands.
The town wore its history well
with a façade of an old west town
complete with a jail and post...

A Hard’s Days Night
A hard day’s night, boss outta sight
blankets warm, everything’s all right
let’s snuggle, cuddle, no more storm
lovely voice on high, good in form
peace reigns on Earth, after mad work
baby is chuckling, gone is stork
sing to stars and beckoning moon

Latter-Day Don Quixote
When and how
did we see chivalry last
or is it now
a thing of the past
and honour among thieves
is no honour at all
while beating my brains
against the wall
besting the dragons
at City Hall
am I wrong in thinking
it's my fight
or am I errant
as a roving knight
exhibiting gallantry
within a crowd
of apathy
indifferent
to the powers that be
outnumbered and outgunned
Sancho when needed...

Sunrise Greets DawnPick One of Five 6-21-25 Image #1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunrise Greets Dawn
Sunrise greets dawn first lights arise
To the beat of unfolding wings
Masking misty azurine skies
Sunrise greets dawn.
Across still water swan chants sing
Bathed in glories of the sunrise
Rosy ballads for morning ring.
Bands of silver steel run lengthwise
Bridging midnight and dawn’s dayspring
Pink aurora turns from moonrise
Sunrise greets dawn.

That Chosen Day
That Chosen Day
Where will you be when Christ returns,
Will you be in His will as He yearns.
What will you be doing on that chosen day,
Living in sin thinking it will be years away.
Will you be ready when the trumpets sound,
And the clouds part as our Savior comes down.
When He returns,...

What Makes Me Smile
Smiles from me to you,
making you happy not blue.
Friendship we can praise,
as we enjoy sunny days.
My puppy is tan and small,
she likes to sleep in mommy's shawl.
She loves to play with her ball,
while I play with my doll.
We like to play outside,
where she will run and hide.
I...
