Old Shirt

I loved that old shirt.
I had it for fifteen years.
It fit like a glove.
I tore it into rags today.
Soon, someone will spread my ashes.

his body and soul engaged
a blend of kindred spirits
the chaos of five children
sweet bliss of Marriage Mayhem

The In-Between Space

I stand between the end and start,
A quiet room, a restless heart.
Fifteen years of pages now turned slow,
Yet what comes next, I do not know.

The cat's warm body spread across her hips
the tips of her fingers stroked so soft fur
purr
How long could she stay like this before she had to rush?

Premium Member Stubbed Toe

I didn’t mean to stub my toe
At two I cry
At fifteen I swear
At twenty one I don’t even notice
At thirty two I wake up in a jail cell
At forty? WTF

Australian Tour

On my bike, fifteen gears by derailleur
I set off on my trip round Australia
But the weather was hot 
Blisters grew on my bot
So the journey became quite a failure

I Could

I could,
Get caught in the pouring rain,
Swim secretly down the Seine,
Find fifteen minutes of fame,
Rush to catch the last train,
And fall in love again?
I could.

Premium Member arithmetic melody

five's were easy
five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty
the nine’s should have been easy too
but they are not as jazzy to sing
18, 27, 36, 45

This year my belly started to grow,
So my goal was lose ten pounds or so,
After no bread or ales,
I then stood on the scales -
There’s only fifteen more pounds to go.

Like a rich tapestry laid

To the Treasure Valley below

Memories now ghostly with edges frayed

October

IT’S OCTOBER  

We’ve got to October fifteen 
And soon it will be Halloween 
So I’ve searched in the attic 
For a costume dramatic 
And, with fangs, I’m looking obscene
