I languorously lock my eyes on a clock.
It is getting on for 10 o'clock.
A muffled bang on the door.

The Wrong StoryAt my grandson’s graduation,
(Onto middle school, he’ll go!)
An official told a story
I found not quite apropos.

Who flew, with wings of wax,

is far from the norm.
The stages “Grads “walk,

I wish you sawI did great today.
I saw pride in the faces of people I loved.
I saw them open their arms
For a hug, for a pat on my back.
Cheers, smiles and praises greeted me
As I walked past them...

GRADUATION HAT AND TASSEL THROWMaster your time
Value the experience from your school days
Your School seemed tough
You were determined enough

sometimes they are catalyst too!

College GraduationWatched the graduation
Of my nephew via Zoom,
Along with many others

The final exit walk was done.

Dear Old FriendDear old friend,
I miss You,
Miss our little talks and those that lasted for hours,
Miss our midnight mindless talks,
times when we didn't care at all,
about the past nor the future,
time when the present was the only...
