Premium Member Bucket Lists These Days

   Survived a six-week vacation 
     in downtown Gary, Indiana
   
   Bucket lists these days
     have gone bananas

My Wish Lists Get Smaller As I Age

            As I get older
          My wish lists get
        Smaller and smaller
         What I really want
  Can't be bought with money.

Short Lists

Life is short;
Dare to love,
Dare to hate.

I love you,
You love me,
Love you all.

Don't let pass
Second chances,
Thrown away.

Thrive to live,
Live each day,
Reach each goal.

lists, lists, lists
everywhere the lists!
of things to do, 
of things to buy,
of buckets to fill 
before I die,
of things that cause
my eyes to mist,
of things that make me
question why
while gazing
in the bluest sky
I still might dare
to shake my fist

What Fascinates Me

Comfortable silence
Conversations 
made by our eyes 
Bodies that intertwine 
like souls who've met 
before our time 
Long loving laughter 
that feels up a room 
Time stands still 
just to watch us kiss 
with intention
Fear escapes us here
Stresses neglect us
Certainty is mine dear


Lists

I made a list of things to do
And said to myself it’s up to you
Painstaking in its making
None of it will find the earth a-quaking

So I look to do each one
Now’s the time I should have begun
For my list is just a reminder of things
That when completed I will find the joy it brings.

Premium Member Shopping Lists

*(a poem in Senryus)*

You don’t have to count,
when you lose a boyfriend, you
know. There was just one.

He was gone before
I knew it - he wasn’t, you know,
tied up or anything.

For a moment I
toy with saying, “Alexa, add
rope to my shopping list."

In High School boyfriends 
come and go - it's like shopping
- where you return things.

Casualty Lists

It was 35 Diggers dead each day
Of the Great War for they volunteered to stay
Mounting a total to 60,000 the cost
Each one a son or daughter of the Southern Cross lost

From a country of five million souls strong
416,809 enlisted to the battle front long
And lastly 156,000 became casualties
For us, for freedom the sacrifice was not free.

A brand new year
To now attend
To modes of cheer
That unfurl plans


A time to make
A lost of things
That drive a stake
In sanguine flings


A way to see
The rainbow stains
In harmony
When sun greets rain


A space to check
On wants and needs
In choice of tact
As zest sows seeds


A touch of will
To frame appeal
In silence still
That gently heals
