  apple cores thrown, the blackbirds feed
  my multi-layered partner dons her wooly hat
  impatiently, she waits for me
  securing covid masks amidst my overcoat

many ways that 
come, I love bare...

She melts my heart...

I nearly did not answer the door, for I did not recognize the man.
But my peek hole is pretty good. As he turned to leave I spotted Peggy’s suitcase.
I ran out there screaming for him...

Anyone who has lived through them as I have,
Knows the Forties were the most memorial of all
Of the decades of the Twentieth Century
And surely the most vivid in recall.

Personally, they were the greatest of my...

I’m sorry if this poem’s a little late today…it’s not that I had trouble with the rhyme
but now that we’re in North Carolina we have switched to mountain time.

Dear Peggy;

It has been numerous years past,
Barely heard from you since.
You may never read this letter from my soul of true emotions.
Trying not to get poetic,
But you know me,
That is hard,
It is my right hand,

Throughout the nineteen-fifties, times were neat;
full, long flared skirts and bobby socks gals wore,

Last Halloween was scary
with evil brewing strong
when Peggy planned a party
and things went off all wrong

In tatty robe, her hair awry
she slaved all day with care
her neighborhood to satisfy
with an elegant affair

Fine treats she baked...

I met her the other day
At a friends house par-tay
She danced gracefully
Me, geriatrically 
I liked the way she looked
Like bait, I was hooked!
When she left, I got plastered
Woke up like a useless bastard
Realizing I’d forgotten
What...

Remain receptive and objective
Though environment spins crazy
Twisting and insisting subjective
Attempting to drive away Daisy 

To coerce you to surrender
To wills and seals bent
On nurturing and culturing agenda
You feel reel Hell sent

Messages within passages manipulated
Slanted, blunted,...

Ya know baby you're usually right
Center cut, intherace, that's your place
On target, red carpet, gotomarket
Hittin' the bull's eye, 'n baby, I'm your guy
Smack-Dab babe
Like the Nile, you flow the right way
Like Carlyle, know what ta...

Venus de Milo gave up the banjo
She left the band with the Invisible Man

I reckon I'm showing my age and am pretty well set in my ways,
But I have zero tolerance for the 'noise' called music nowadays!
The metal bands and rap are loathsome to my sensitive ears.

The crop has been harvested, the moon has turned red. 
All our chores are now finished, the cows have been fed.

Time goes so fast in this life to me.

I think back about people who have made a real difference in my life,

Through the first half of my journey through time.
