The skies are crying…
Startle birds fly to their nests…
Worms have a party....

So in calming
The seas
God’s got
Enough
On his plate
So I’ll pray
And wait...

Of like mind, the hundred thousand
but lives unknown, unseen, unshared.
Live your own. Better one than none....

HAIKU


The haiku fragment crafts
A factual moment's crisp draft.

the temperature rose
the skin cooking from heat
slow roasted lobster

prairie fields bone dry
the crops refusing to grow
from seeds to dust...

Born in Greenfield Park, 89 years ago
Across the St Lawrence River from Montreal
Feel nostalgic
Last day tragic
The end to an amazing (hopefully) 89 years

It rings deep in the last hour

Now, that our first season together is almost done,
It’s time to look back and analyze how it all went.
We’ve started working together as a team of one.
The last nine months with you were good times very well spent....

NAME


Note how time shows the path of fate,
Ask for wise glow to fill your plate;
Move cheery flow with succinct poise,
Etch joy that grows a happy state.

So blessed!*

My childhood

Speaks of God’s grace

Binding my family

Home’s bliss!

Psalm 89:15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

dreaming..
       just
          a dream..
overcomes...
dwells
      upon me,
lifts
      me high,
      takes me
      forward,
the mood
      captivates...
then
      calms

We're off on a joyous and exciting adventure today
Visiting our aging relatives, hoping all's well we pray
At 89 and 92, all of life's a gamble
But survive they have, a great example
How we can meet each challenge and still chuckle away...

Agog 

bemusement careened

dreamed enchantment

first gaze, hoped in jeopardy 

keeling lust made nectarine offer piquant...

quagmire’s ruse stirred 

torturing umber veins

Wife X-tenuations…

Yellow-bellied zilch!

Yesterday just like any other day was a struggle.
My life is falling apart, I can't seem to stay in check.

On my mind all the time, I can't get over you.
Can you tell me why you're in my mind?
Can you tell me what I wanna know?

Last time I wasn't too clear. So here it goes.....I like you....

warm water splashing between my toes while sitting on the dock
while the kids all play football in the pool
and harley dog dropping his ball in my lap
wanting me to throw it in the pool
it's 89 degrees 
this summer heat is great
sipping drinks and eating snacks with friends
what can be better than this?...

Your mountains and prairies are safe from me,
it’s only your roads I want
89 in Utah, 191 in Montana,
route 50 cutting Nevada in half
I’m not looking to stay or upset your order,
like New Yorkers and Californians do
I just want to ride to tomorrow and back
—the view and the memories my home

(Dewey Montana: September, 1996)...

My name is Cousin Paulie,
Average bloke in an average job,
Father to a daughter who was killed by a virus,
while neutropenic from chemotherapy,
Son to an 89 year old dad,
Who would like to see 90 in June,
Staying home and isolating,
A message to those who still play
and risk the lives of the sick and old,
Stay the * at home,
Or we will have our vengeance,
in this life or the next....
