stretch for miles
in grocery stores
chip isle, frozen foods

fifteen per cent more, but lacking
in this pre-packaged
wasteland
where nothing ever grows
or dares to walk without
a list to double check....

sunlight sauntered through
the dark edge of dawn ~

in my favorite chair
watching the rain fall
with the one i love
listening to oldies
and some old gospel
and drinking lemonade

attending the early church 
service with a needed sermon
on sitting still and letting God
be Your Heartbeat........inspiration

Angry Dad asked son five times

Dunked in water,  his answer:

Son: (gasping)  "Mermaid!"

I am talking about,
people,
their intentions,
and places,
respectively,
now can you comprehend so many,
of permutations and combinations,
and get into maze,
It would be far better,
if you emrged out of this haze,
defined your own set,
and let not confusion,
let you fume and fret....

He said he was a "woman",

Just trapped in a wrong body.

When time came he had to pee-

Used the room.... for "Men".

Hearts beat in suspended time,

When Love's magic fills the air

Reason's in a trance.

Excitement bubbles throughout the air
Delighted to see so many there
A chance to meet three 
Passionate like me
Welcoming sweethearts who believe that's rare


Inspired by three individuals who have welcomed me to Poetry Soup with open arms,

Who Wants to Play....

Inside Out is the New Fashion.....

Nothing hidden will dress the day

Character is flawless in His debonair 

Strikingly tailored manners 

Ironed distinctions solidify His footings

Each garment fitted respectively sound

Bold colors adorn His genuine Style

           Open the Door ....Which Date shall it be....

         Of a Tale...we are told that could be a possibility. ......

Love, like raindrops falling down

Embraced the dried barren earth

Each drop a soothing caress

That softens... and wins.

when inadequacy
comes knocking
who will shove it off the stoop?

when the self importance of this world
makes the air thick
who will slice it thin with humility?

who is that entity of selflessness
sneaking behind the walls,
crouching slowly?

will rays of discouragement,
worthlessness, and the like
burn the skin beyond repair?

I see sadness, but smiles abound.

Happy but hungry,
how can it be?

Faith, love, and you-
respectively....

A

joyous

time it was when

I was young. Despite the

chill, to the wind my cares were flung

in winter’s world of trees with garlands hung

and carols brightly sung when the

bells were

rung!
