TANGLED LINE
The Osprey returns, from the horizon
five people, strangers in the sun;
Casting to catch, beach ghosts and hidden fish;
Pipette with Ayesha each day dip, shoreline pools!
Joe and jess hear voices on the wall
New York – 2,970 miles for Rosa !

It's as if the simplest of alphabets
took on a lifeline of it's very own
forming a mismatched miniscule pipette
of innocence, insight, wisdom unknown
forcing us to our knees, humble, bent, prone,
and there a soul prays each and every day
speaking to God above, these words to say
I need to find a state of grace dear God,
to draw my life within your light display
to escape every temptation filled fog.

Thin Vignette
Skinny Minnie? Not yet!
Want to be one? You bet!
Are you starving, full of fret?
Want to give up at onset?
Publish goals in a gazette.
Tell yourself you’ll not regret.
Never worry; never fret.
Choice of foods can be reset.
Meat? Eggs? Proteins? Mindset –
Watch proportions; Ready! Set!
Soon, pounds fly like a fanjet!
Keep on going! Don’t stop yet!
Put your thinking on reset.
Seek and join a “cool” quartet.
Go outside and play croquette.
Make new friends; do not typeset.
Never give up! Ready, set –
Win your prize; there dies regret.
You can be a health cadet.
Eat three meals before sunset.
Healthy treat between each set.
See how skinny you will get.
When you're in the “Thin Vignette”,
Use a straw not a pipette.
DEDICATED to my health guru whose name I shall publish, with permission, after I loose my first 40 pounds!
Thank you, you know who! SMILES!
