Before Rene Descartes does this world depart 
he gives analytic geometry its big head start 
from bugs that draw graphs crawling on his ceiling; 
as he lies sprawling, sick in bed, reeling....

Sitting There Saying a Prayer

While I had been sitting there,
Started suddenly to say a prayer,
When I would,
And also could;
God is always with many to spare.

Jim Horn

Getting a head start for Sunday....

you shan't win
not this day my furry friend
watch me run

head start - yeah!
close to end he leaps down ledge
watch him fly

staircase race 
wins and rubs it in my face
prissy proud prance...

There isn't anything too late, if you love it.
Love doesn't solve everything,
and it isn't the only thing that's important,
but it has a big head start on everything else.
If there's love, there's a place to begin....

Appreciate your enthusiasm but I wasn't finished yet
These modern conveniences, on our nerves they can get
Auto-Wiping would be great
Get a head start on a date
You're probably eagerly waiting for the next gadget I'll bet...

without affirming, we yet feel
tingling of the spiritual heart
third eye glistens, spine’s vibrant
million bliss ignitions in head start

root that holds all energies erect
reminds us of our humble origins
each pore a door, seeks an encore
of songs sung by ethereal virgins...

Barely noticed amongst the crowd
It's that one last stop-sign romance
Signalling the end, the tragic demise
Never again, no train station glance

Barely noticed amongst the crowd
It's that one last opening heart
The thoughts spin by, identical but not
For he had the edge, the classic head-start...

I felt your hand
get away from me
to say goodbye
to a new world
that began,
seeing sad faces
moistened with tears,
and surrounded by two 
beautiful ladies.
I ignored that world
where my mother
abandoned me for hours.
But over the time
that strange world
was my beginning
of a new life;
My First Day of:
Head Start....

Coyote, wolf or fox?
I stare at the gorgeous animal.
He may be wild, but he is exquisitely made.
Low to the ground, red fur, dark tail.

My dogs go berserk when they notice the creature.
Barking and charging at the glass separating them.
I let the wild one have a head start.
Then I release my dogs, confident they cannot catch him....

Live in peace
Never distract
To things within
Life is simple
To simple people 
Have high hopes
Hope leads you
To go head start
Expect the sun
Shines tomorrow 
But work for today
Things reap next day
To enlighten every heart
Life's cold in winter
But smile warming hope
Spring will come
And the flowers
Will bloom themselves....

Trying to learn
A new way of
a heck of an art
mastering my reason inside
please bear with me
I've fallen behind
Where you've had quite the head start.
In my ignorance
I am lagging farther behind
where my life was soo complex
sorry for the mixed message
in the future I'll learn to think twice
I'm just learning to write
Before I read
Between the lines....

Complication 
                                                       Is the puzzle of life
                                                       Finding the pieces
                                                      Just a head start
                                                      Once you’re built
                                                      You’ll know who you are....

An Irish Wish

May there always be laughter
In the here and here after
May the angels protect you and me
May your wife so adore you
May your children restore you
May you live your life happy and free

When your troubles are mounting
May your heart just start counting
All the great things you have in your life
May you have a head start
With a smile in your heart
And the love and support of your wife

Mdailey...

you got no
squattin
rights
here

you know what
happens this
time of the
year

it gets bone cold
at least starts
in your fingers
and toes

should've moved
on earlier gotten
a head start
but can't

seem to keep 
in mind the
grasshopper
and the ant

nothin to do 
now you're 
in the 
house 

except set out
tiny tables of
peanut butter
for you 

and yours
instead of
extention
cords...

"A rooster crows,
How does it know

The sun is about to rise,
Everyday like exercise

Maybe it’s an inner clock,
Or prompting from a hens cluck

No matter the case,
It’s time for today’s embrace

Announced by this flock,
Who needs an alarm clock

If I would be as punctual as this bird,
I would achieve more than I deserve

For I would be one step ahead,
Thanks to a Rhode Island red

So enjoy your head start,
And this day, you will outsmart."...

Shut in three days
howling wind whipping
power lines dangle

Ham and beans simmer 
atop the old wood heater.
a head start on tomorrow's hunger

four finally tired 
Children asleep in bunches
scattered around the warm barn

Mine and yours tumbled together. 
forgetting to be jealous
we know it can't last

Daylight spent carrying wood
and entertaining children
I am all out of games

But nights, heart to heart
we danced by the light of
our sweet winter fire...
