my mortality
my hobbies are many
I don’t mind spending plenty
painting makes my day
you cannot take that away
I am not humble or contrite
winning all my word games feels right
cartooning is something I love to do
painting my canvases in neon orange and blue
my hobbies never stop
I like words like frolic, jump, persnickety and hop
poetry is one of my current games
Enjoying every day is one of my super aims.
I am a cartoonist, this part of my life adds play to my day.
I paint these cartoons; painting delights me and relaxes me.
My poetry is goal-oriented, I have set a goal I force myself to meet.
I enjoy throwing words onto pages.
According to my husband, my writing is my best talent.
But cartooning and painting brings me the most joy.
I am in love with my many retirement hobbies
Passionate about cartooning, painting and poetry
Intensely enthusiastic when I am playing in my art studio
Also thrilled with peanut butter cookies and twinkies
Loving refried beans and salsa heated up eaten on chips
These are a few of my favorite things
My passions have changed through the years
But at this moment, in this time, these are my main events
I don’t like painting.
I don’t like to sing.
The hours I waste after school.
Make them think I’m a fool.
I chose to do nothing.
Even when my phone rings.
I cry when I hear a call.
They just want me to play basketball.
The calls go unanswered.
Like my prayers, the day we swerved,
And rolled down a hill,
I remember her body, still…
If I had a hobby…
Maybe that would help with the memories.
But these days, I let them consume me.
Because I was the one who hit the tree.
I paint
I write
I think
I try
I draw
I rhyme
and sometimes
I cry.
Favorite activities to use your spare time wisely
I’m sure you have a hobby,
A passion of some sort,
Some people might like biking,
Others might like naughts.
Although some people might think,
Gardening is the best,
For me I think chess is solely the best,
To the point where I would play for hours on end,
With no rest!
There are pawns and knights and bishops,
Don’t forget the forks,
But wait, there’s more,
Can’t you remember the trades?
This amazing game,
Has a truly amazing aim,
To offer a simple trade,
Could end up to be black pieces’ raid!
Now I’m sure you know,
What makes chess so fun,
This game is truly amazing,
So play this game of thought instead of waste your time and run.
photography
needed a dark room
poetry
had to have a home office
dogs and cats
built a compound
painting
where is my art studio?
my hobbies are a result of my obsessive personality
They usually last two years, two and a half tops
Poetry has lasted four, and painting has lasted six
These two are the exceptions
Maybe because I was always looking for them
retirement close, Arthur sadly wonders,
ponders ruefully what his passions are!
to merrily spend the days...
golf or pool! dearest wife says -
must get my tea in bed, whatsoever!

There’s a 7-11 on Mars,
with parking for plenty of cars.
There’s never a wait in line
and you never get carded for wine.
There’s a huge monument on Venus,
it's shaped like a giant peniz.
That’s a salute to Jeffery Bezos,
is it accurate and life-like - who knows?
A universe for the rich,
who found a technological niche,
with their business soaring,
to the stars they are roaring,
but for the rest of us, life is a bit-ch.
I have a slew of hobbies, and I love them all.
When they no longer intrigue me, I forget I ever had them.
It’s my Gemini mind.
I forgot I used to have a dark room for decades.
I do not want one again, but it was nice to remember.
I forgot I used to crochet until my granddaughter wanted to learn how.
My hobbies are in full swing until I lose interest
Then they fall off a cliff of who cares,
Most are never retrieved.
for I am constantly on the
look out for something new.
HOBBIES
We’ve all got hobbies that’s for sure.
Some like to catch fish with worms as a lure.
Some like to sail out on the sea so blue.
Some like to build model planes with paint and glue.
Some like to play or watch football on TV.
Some like to take photos of flowers and trees.
Some like to bake cookies and cakes.
Some like to waterski on big lakes.
Well my hobby is collecting bones for fun,
So a bone or two of yours I’d like to extract one by one.
You won’t miss it a bit I have no doubt.
You’ll just have to sit still while I’m taking them out.
I am good today
Things are busy
Classes are a little frustrating
But generally good.
How about you my friends?
Do you have any hobbies?
What are they?
I would like to be a great lover
I want to live in my poetry forever
I would like to be world traveler
I want to be a good friend
I want to talk to the world
I don't want to be
The End...
Routine always goes hard;
reality buffers,
May it go in any context..
everyone is hurt,
everyone suffers!
In all the time we get for us,
we tend to keep away from all the routine buzz!
Music, movies, sports, books or anything may give a jerk,
or mere talking to someone for the time may also at times work!
From all the reality and from every fact,
we always find a way to distract!
