jaw jutting proudly,

as he cruises by
waving to admirers

I read today,
she writes

Maybe adrenaline courses about
Attacking little hillocks
Of troubles with 
Highway Man demands of
Flight,...

Thursday lives light
As humour bites,
Fond esteem sights
A feast to cite.


Words now emerge
For lines highlight,
Works of joy surge
With thought laid right.


The hours fling
Fine melodies,
To-Do list brings
Such tapestries.


Time of day hurls
In telling say,
So much to twirl
In life's...
