Monofilamania

It is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.

winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching

The remnants of August 2024 Hurricane Debbie

The remnants of August 2024 Hurricane Debbie

Like a humane huntress, she
(the anthropomorphized storm)
brought a spate of cool Autumn like

Dream state yields deep sleep personifications

Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids
into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod,
where the sandman beckons and bids
dead to the webbed wide world,
yours truly immune to wakefulness 
despite being...

Thinking Out Loud

from my fingers to a keyboard 
so forgive me if my speak
is somewhat long winded
if it has swirls and curls
this is me
hopefully you want to hear
my voice in its totality

Morning Musing

I remember that day
	a early spring day
cold snow melted away
	and grass turning green

long cold winter gone

	needing to be done
in cool early morn

They'Re Coming For Me, and You

It’s getting harder to look the other way
While paused at traffic lights
Just down the road from my own driveway

The haggard-faced algorithms jostling all four corners
Stabbing to death the last of the flowers
With their prickly weeds...

Forever Night

Days passing on by
Nights sometimes I try
Finding the answers to the why
Seeking to find
Some piece of mind
Keep looking over here
Over there
Eventually, that is where I'm bound
Under the ground 
Can't change 
Nor rearrange 
Always stays the...
