By things I see sometimes today I’m dumbfounded and blown away. I’ve seen folks driving far all alone in a car. Covid masks they still wear anyway. I could see once a girl IN the pool. Did a double take because that fool kept the mask on her face (though she swam with such grace), yet there wasn’t a Covid mask rule!! Once I watched...

A few days back I visited an old time friend To travel down the memory lane on a week end As we spent the quality time over high tea The evening passed us by on a lively spree While leaving I inquired about their daughter, Suhash Her mother said she was busy with paint and brush Being interested in painting I...

Dumbstruck Is Me (a rhyming, acrostic kind of thing) Discombobulated, how apt the word Utterly gobsmacked by the absurd Mind numbingly mortified at the nonsensical By waking to find I’m without either testicle Silenced as side by side they’re strung together To hang on the wall there forever... and ever Running around with another man’s wife Until I returned to a...

DUMBSTRUCK Every time I am with you, I am dumbstruck, overcome with excitement, being stuck in feeling funky, groovy, crazy like I am seventeen. Hard to behave like a lady, nearing seventy. Sitting across you, gazing at your smiley eyes while we talk, sip our drinks between our smiles, makes me feel a wild flower child instead of a grown, mature woman for...

Something's changed, like I knew it would The feeling's subsided, like a piece of drift wood Chasing shadows in the dark Calling out your name in the stillness of the night You stole my spark You robbed me of my sanity Kept captive to the mark You branded upon my head Something's wrong The strength I once had is now gone The knowledge I...

I shall turn a blind eye and hold my tongue I'll sharpen my hearing, breathe deep in my lungs. My stare will be flat like the eyes of a shark and you'll feel a chill, both icy and dark. I'll gather each word like beads on a string, a necklace of nouns and verbs in a ring. I'll keep my face blank, an inscrutible mask, I will not speak, no...
