From days start till end
Loud housebound kids cause concern
Your dreams undisturbed...

Gotta get out and enjoy the outside
Housebound am I like I've curled up and died
Need interaction
Is this overreaction
Is it just me or am I on a downward slide...

snow storm
whirling, twirling
a few snowflakes at first,
she starts out so unassuming,
within an hour, snow is on the ground.
school is cancelled, children laugh
snow plow activity
housebound, hot chocolate
snow storm...

H0USEBOUND

my god! i‘m housebound
another sip of coffee
outside?      Imagine 
it’s fourteen below zero
I’m tiptoeing through the snow

squirrels are watching me
birds with feathers all fluffed out
barefooted      i sink,
touch feet on the icy ground
god no!     rather be housebound...

Currently homebound. 

Soon to be housebound. 

Joyful ramblings. 

Sleepy mumblings. 

Traveling by car. 

Scars still settling. 

My therapist is awaiting me.

Someday, the trauma will be worthwhile…

For now, let’s celebrate!

Someday I will remember…

But today I am homebound....

I got drunk on your love
You made me
feel a little giddy
laugh
and act a little silly
I could hardly walk
and I stammered when I did talk
I fell down
stood up
and shuffled around
when I gulped your love down

And yet instead of feeling out on the town
Your love left me housebound

Because all I feel now 
                 is the hangover......

Cold steady April rain
Housebound huddled captive
Grey and somber is the day
And like myself inactive
So I sit composing verse
Forcing words, imposing, terse
To conjure feelings so inscribed
Pointing to a better way
Or even more a wetter May
One more excuse to get away
To cruise amused in sunlight
Through wet pane I peer and see
I can’t be happy
Fancy free...

The weather became bitter cold today
And housebound I will stay
I went out to try and start the car
It's winter's coldest day by far.

Colder than the inside of a deep freeze they say
minus fifty one the thermometer does display
I keep turning up the heat
To warm my body especially my feet

I want  the cold spell to go away
Hoping for a warmer day
So you who have the sun and heat
A hot day would be a wonderful treat....

Spring struggles to break winters hold
on its timely season onset.
The latent buds are reluctant
to sprout their protuberances;
robins haw vocal notes of song
while perched on stark swaying branches;
Crocuses spurn stifled tulips
abed for their impotency;
Sluggish hibernates’ hesitate
to waken from their dormancy 
and fair-weather, housebound humans
unwilling to venture outside.
but soon a warm, vernal zephyr
will breathe life into everything
reviving consciousness of spring....
