In One City

I know a funeral when I walk into one
I can tell between a funeral and a burial
They are two entirely different artworks
One is done on grand canvas, with drunken strokes
Of sashaying brush and bleeding paints;
The other is done on mere sand, with foot and hand,
Forming sandcastles built by toddlers.
I know too well because I have

Have you lived in one of these three stages of life

(A reflective voice whispers)

In the Dawn of a new feeling of Life, 
Maybe even at high school

Did you embrace one of its golden rules

To hold hands with someone you deemed so special 
Encouraged by first love's, sweet kiss

For it to then carry you through, to meet the super cool, Twilight of your Life

With the only

There are two kinds of cultures
- Defined in different ways 
In different countries and lifestyles,
Valley vs Mountain, Settled vs Nomadic
Or in modern America, City vs Country -
With their two opposing attitudes,
“Let us tell you what to do!”, and
“Just leave me alone…”

It’s a simple dichotomy really 
Of a group and collective orientation, 
And a more individualist

What a wonderful day

My daily routine.
Every day, as always,
Wake up at four.
Start the chores.
Go to the gardens,
Do some maintenance.
Visit the M Central
Play the piano.
One hour goes past,
Enjoy some breakfast.
Go to the library,
Take up space,
Use the computer/internet,
Lunch with meal set.
In the arvo,
Play more and more piano.
Otherwise, visit "Maker Space".
Do some embroideries
For the rest of the day.
What a wonderful day

    olive branch in one hand
       weapon in the other
    hoping for peace with his brother

    eager to open his heart
       stepping with caution
    lest a new war he start

If you wanted three things, laughter, imagination, and wonder,
but could only ask for one,
you could ask for something wild.
You could ask for a child.

Or, say you had three New Year's Resolutions,
but could on make one.
If you were me
(which I happen to be)
I would promise to first take care of me.
My other goals follow, making three.  

Then,

Griff The Man

Unbelievable: since last we meet, something spectacular has transpired.
Ladies and gentlemen we have a new Worlds Heavyweight Champion!
In unbelievable fashion: with no vendettas, just pure Sports Wrestling.
But the outcome will have even the the most purest wrestling pundits thinking it's an angle.

Due to prior interference by Manager "Bruiser Anais Soleil, on behalf of " Preimer"Primous

Premium Memberautumn in one ruthless scoop

i feel for yesterday's blooms
already withering
already past their prime
their innocence consumed
their beauty fading in the night
depleted with the passage of time
their message scattered to the breeze

how i resonate and feel for them
here for a moment then gone

     There once was a Rabbi lived in Big Sur
     Who could drive a golf ball straight, far, and sure
         When he got a hole-in-one
         He sighed, “Why, this is no

My day had arrived, the hospital was intimidating. He got lost parking our car, I felt the pavement's heat, it pained my feet, as we had walked very far. The doors opened as we walked in, I had a pain in my side, probably from the long car ride. 

The woman at the front desk

the ominous gray and black skies have moved away
three cars have crashed on this torrential rainy day
there is consternation and drama on this highway
ambulances are trying but semis are in the way

down by the creek an elderly lady is up to her neck in water
her red Lincoln is flooded, so she calls her oldest daughter

LOVE AND HATE IN ONE POT

When someone puts
Love and hate 
In one pot. 
           I doubt 
the result. 
               As it 
can make some healthy 
folks vomiting mostly.
