Duping the Demons
I often wake up tired
Too much cerebral housecleaning
Dusting, filing, musing
Feeding the demons
They are less likely to act up
If they are nurtured
Recognized for what they are
I no longer fear them
But they must be kept
Cowering in the dark
Waiting for me
To tuck them in

IT WAS CALLED SENILE
Many decades ago,
You would rarely here
Anything about or see
An elderly person
Act up, they use to
Call it senile but this day
And time, it is hard to believe
That so many people have come
Up with a disease that
They call dementia, which is
Similar to senile
Is it the chemicals in the water

Life Doesn'T Always Rhyme
Some days I listen
Some days I talk
Some days I run
Some days I just stroll
Some nights I sleep
Some nights I read
Some nights I follow
Some nights I just wander
Sometimes I will
Sometimes I won't
Sometimes I rhyme
Sometimes... Not so much
Life does tend to act up a lot
It operates on its own time
And for some oddball reason, in spite of us all
It doesn't always sound the same...

Sprucy Lucy
Sprucy Lucy watering blooms
As pooch lounges, the kitten grooms
Each sprout peaks out toward the sun
Rising in vibrant hues who’ll stun
Lucy speaks sweetly to the pup
As she watches kitty act up
Picking bright flowers, just for fun
Rising in vibrant hues who’ll stun
Sprucy Lucy loves Summer’s buds
Watering each shoot til’ it floods
Her friends know she can’t be outdone
Rising in vibrant hues who’ll stun
Picture Prompt Four

Precautions
It’s good to take precautions
When you’re going on a trip –
Umbrella, bug spray, meds will ease
Your mind when in your grip.
Yet even if you’re more prepared
Than someone would advise,
There always is the chance that you’ll
Encounter a surprise.
For who can really tell you what
The future has in store?
And health or weather may act up
In ways not seen before.
So pack your suitcase to the brim
In full anticipation
That all your efforts cannot
Guarantee a smooth vacation....
