Arizona Spring Training Sextet
running the rapids
life jacket on fully tight
knuckles, fully white
white water rafting
I thought I would surely die
mates made me smile bright
sports-bars, fun, laughter
cowboy steak-out much later
bright time, what moonlight
karaoke, too
"The Funky Divas" were we three
fun and much laughter
my Arizona
spring training, the Oakland A's
those southwestern days

Tribute to the Sports channel Team! Thanks for crediting me to be
one of your top Sports channel Scouts and rewarding me with fun trip
of a lifetime! Wonderful to travel with all the managers of the top cable
companies. Never had so much fun in my life. Fell totally in love with
Arizona...the desert, snakes and jeep adventures in her
desert!

debts-held cash pretentious bling
themes nearer my God
***RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912, after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died.

STRAND COMPLETELY NEW (22) ,any form,any theme
~~Brian Strand: Judged 2020 August 15
I might grow bald...great...(don't tear my confidence apart)
No offense, but I'm old young -
Meaning, old in heart...(in lonely, glad, mad and misunderstood states as of late)
Growing wearier
As the years pass on by...bye...
Youth is not gone yet
I embrace notions
That being old can be good!
If there's pros, there's cons
I might lose my mind (my memory in other outlandish words)
But, I don't mind being wise (better than being foolish and dumb)
Might as well rewind (look back at good ol' times...that flutter away from my dementia-inflicted mind, feeling under a rock and fogginess clouds my mind as I unwind for a time...dreading the fact that I was and will be left behind and a long-lost lamb, willing to be found)
holding back my tears ...
perhaps it’s for the last time
I give mum a hug
I walk from her room
who know’s when we’ll meet again -
corona virus
At midnight tonight mum’s care home goes into lock down. We do not have the corona virus on our Island but the elderly and vulnerable people have to be protected so it was inevitable they would take these precautions. It’s hard on us both as I try and see mum every day and I’m trying to arrange for skype to be available so I can continue to do memory games with her ... and just so mum knows I am still around.
WE NOW HAVE OUR FIRST CASE OF THE VIRUS CONFIRMED

So we’re coming out?
Here’s my bet on the pass line.
I’m going to shoot?
That’s just fine with me!
Luck be a lady tonight!
Let me come out right!
I need a seven
I could use an eleven
Either one is good.
Okay, here we go!
Baby needs a pair of shoes!
Seven-eleven!
What do we have here?
Three and a four makes seven
Oh, Hallelujah!
Baby, let it ride
Seven-eleven we want!
Here we go again!
Oh, so we have nine
That was a centerfield roll!
Let’s try to make it.
We will need some odds.
Ten times odds at this table?
One hundred behind.
Fifty-four across
We can use a nice long roll!
Baby, please be nice!
We must get them hot
Get winners for all we’ve got
Here we go again.
A nine will be fine
How did Jesse James get shot?
With a forty-five!
Tell me what it is
Another seven so soon?
It’s all down the drain!
Forget it today
Luck has been a bad lady
It’s time we go home!
Engage.
Go back to basic
conversation, calm and cool
[No need for backchat]
Enrage.
Hurt heart hot with rage.
[encapsulated deafness]
Left without true peace.
A wise friend recently said to me: "Trying to reason with an enraged person, only stokes them up more. Engaging them in conversation, to try and calm them down, causes enragement." Hear what they have to say, they have a reason for being angry. There's "a time to be silent and a time to speak. " (This is a repost.)
Psalms 37:8; James 2:13. - In general situations.
Colossians 3:19; 1Peter 3:4. - In marriage.
Genesis 4:5 -7; Leviticus 19:16 - 18. James 1:19,20. -Your fellowman" and your "brother."

Sexy-U-Contest
No challenge stops her
stance is set
shoulders squared
She needs no reassurance
no protective arm
What she wants
is what she wills
she harbors no illusions
No man will tell her
what to do
She has lain out
her own way
and swept it clean
No distraction is allowed
to interfere
Her goals are set
and bannered, waiting
for distant days
She will claim them all
in triumph, never doubting
Small of stature
great of heart
she turns to face the wind
Gentle as a running stream
Unyielding as a diamond
She acknowledges
the difficulties
then passes through
No lie accepted
no truth denied
She scans the road ahead
weighs its options
gaze sure and steady
Fears are felt
then disregarded
She does not move back
she sets her grip upon
each thing she wants
Her goals must surrender
to her determination
A child in years
an elder's wisdom
sits upon her brow
Discouragements will bring no change
a mountain of resolve
Seasons change
worlds revolve
she sees it through
The end in sight
stays in sight
Such nobilities
within my child
humble me
Her father frets for her
but can never fear
This is my little bulldog
holding the world
by its pantleg
Naught that she needs escapes her
what kind of fool would try
our junior high dance
middle class white kids rock out
to Born to be Wild
girls sitting pretty
standing and doing nothing . . .
the wall flower guys
the music softens
I only Have Eyes for You
enhances my angst
the boy I adore
rooted with the wall flowers
has started to move
crossing the gym floor
the boy I like is asking
the new girl to dance
she looks like a snob
I hate this beautiful girl
immediately
somehow I end up
walking home with this new girl
serendipity
laughing and chatting
we have so much in common
fast friends we become
(A true story told with 5/7/5 line verses)
(a series of Senryus)
Oh merciless tease,
heaven’s greatest injustice
must be temptation
There is no sense in
in the sensual and no real
care in the carnal
They’d begun the rites,
delights and wrongs of such love
an unworthy two
Anointed and sworn
by covenants to faithful
others as they were
Was a single kiss
what set the violently
borne fire of thirst?
Which, carried by the
winds of want, brought misfortune
and misadventure
There followed a swift
contract to sin that enriched
impractical love
Their delightful and
perfect lowliness of mind
banished dull conceits
And then afterwards,
a bookful of non-binding
promises of love
.

A song for this
the feeling by Steve Lacy [E]
