Premium Member The Joy of Parenting

    I bought myself four yogurts
      by morn they were all eaten

    Bought my kids four more

Long Distance Trucker

Insipid blend of lemon tea
Murky depths unsweetened
In a grubby cup with a dull grey glaze
Cracked rim invisible in the haze
Of an all night cafe on the road.

Paradise Is Falling

the lawns are strewn in paradise
roses stained, unsweetened
beauty is bleeding
can we lick these festering sores?

my days are alchemy
as I exhaust to turn a gold
and paradise is falling

Premium Member Then there is that star and the cradle

The search

Names all experience:

Discomfort searching for comfort

Poverty searching for more

Death searching for life

Unsweetened searching for sweetening

The not-yet searching for already

And on and on..

Then there is that star and

The cradle...

Heart

No money to spend.
	No gifts to give
	I felt I failed my little kid
	
	Then she looked up and smiled, 
	With nothing under the tree

	But a loaf of bread for breakfast 
	And a cup of unsweetened tea.
	She said, I know times are hard.
	But I don’t care, I only want Christmas
	If you are there.

	That was the sweetest part,
	Then I realized Christmas come from with in the heart.


Percolating

I always like it creamy, and a bit zestful
On the pallet with robusta flavor---
Yet, totally unsweetened  for now
When daylight  gulps in an ache; my coffee
Becomes bitter, nipping my tongue 
Like heated grain of yesterday’s spiels---
Angry mouths percolating in the kitchen
While she, in haste, rushes away.

The Widow

Her sour smile, like unsweetened lemonade,
Made its way to me through the crowd.
I grimaced and groaned, ungrateful of her sickly sweet and fake kindness.
Miles of memories of our time together...
The sunrises and sunsets, like a field of flowers in the fading sky...
She left me alone, like Helen for Paris.

My heart went pitter-patter as we passed in the halls.
I'm afraid of being hurt again.
She is nothing but
a black widow for me.

Premium Member Grandma Decorates the Porch

Melody looked lovely sitting on her kick back porch swing this morn
I knew inside was her gorgeous son, a little baby newborn
How had she had time to decorate this gorgeous autumn porch?
She introduced me to her mother, a lady named Mrs. Morch.

Lovely Mrs. Morch had baked scones, and she invited me.
To partake in a snack, along with unsweetened peach tea.
Your porch is terrific, I told the young mother, who nodded her head.
Mom did it while the baby and I were snoring away, she said.
