I rarely drive now
I procured a booth at ten fifty-nine
I was shocked the restaurant was open before eleven
Held the door open for the hostess
This gives me a bit of writing time
Cool down opportunity after my thirty-five minute drive
Driving is stressful these days
Possibly because I rarely do it
I did it for years
I am done doing it
gave up driving
When I

It is ironic that those who guard the gates of poetry rarely
It is ironic that those who guard the gates of poetry rarely,
if ever,
manage to enter into it themselves.
I came in through a secret back door,
a door hidden from the eyes of the world,
where the waves of the sea whisper the secrets of time,
and each ripple of the water tells

I rarely watch TV
I am always in competition against myself, it is free.
Playing word games, while I listening to the droning TV
You do not even watch! My husband says amused.
He is right. I use it like a radio, like we did in 1942.
I can get much accomplished while I listen in.
I have knitted and crocheted afghans during the

He Rarely Smiles
The people at school always hate me
All of them? I ask him.
He glares at me, endearing himself to me.
I try to get some positivity out of him.
It is a struggle.
He rarely smiles.
Usually when he is plotting the “accidental” hurt toward someone.
I had never met an eight-year-old like this.
I suspect his life is not wonderful,
But I

I Rarely Eat Lunch With Other Teachers
Sit with us!
Have lunch with us!
They are eager for me to sit in the teacher's lounge.
I rarely want to, so I rarely do.
All because of Curly Sue.
Lunch conversation is completely monopolized.
By this spoiled girl who was cannonized.
By parents who forever pushed her to position prioritized.
Her thoughts and ideas are often by them glorifi-zed.

Why Santa Rarely Visits Mauritania
Mauritania is a country to which I don't often go
'cos my name is Santa ~ Ho, ho, ho!
90% of its territory is in the Sahara Desert
to survive the heat, I'd have to remove my shirt
Which, no doubt, would cause a commotion

Ram Girl Was Rarely Depressed
We never knew her real name, called her Ram Girl Bailey.
She was fluffy like her namesakes, her life placid and boring.
Stayed to herself, loving rams, nurturing them daily.
She bleated like them, her empathy for them soaring.
Ram Girl Bailey never married but was happier than others.
She rarely had depressing days, anger or any strife.
Spending her life

Good Health Rarely Gets Appreciated
I never appreciate my good health
until I get a disease, illness or infection,
Then I pray and wish and hope to get her back.
She flits away, laughing, for she knows
I never appreciate her when she is here.
I don’t even remember she exists
until I get a disease, illness or infection.
Maybe she has a deal with my

The Truth I Rarely Tell
The truth is that people think I am the best listener in the world.
I have mastered the face and the expressions of the most interested.
I can toss out the best impression of a person who cares.
I am doing it correctly, for waitresses sit down and tell me their story.
I scoot over for waiters, hairdressers and

Beauty Rarely Seen
Beauty rarely seen
Elegance and with such grace
A smile that touches the heart
Exuberant warmth over spilling
with such ingredients to light the flame of my heart
A tender love so bright and true
A chemical reaction of the senses with just the lightest touch
Hidden beneath the weight of childhood memories
Ones that are to be left

Could You Be My Dream More Rarely By Anna Akhmatova
Could you be my dream more rarely,
because we so often meet,
but temple of dark's seen barely
with sadness of yours that's sweet.
And Seraph's laud is not sweeter
than flattery of your lips.
And name of my own does glitter
for you in this calm eclipse.
P.S. The poem is written under the influence of Anna Akhmatova.
