...an orangutan sits in my oak tree
his nest is made of my sweatshirts three
he cuts the cheese; it blows into my nose
I know he plans to steal the rest of my clothes...

Packing for Camp
...The grandkids are heading to sleepaway camp,
Their clothing all labeled and packed,
Plus all of the extras they may or not need -
Way too much, as a matter of fact.
They bring pillows and blank...

Lost Friends
...No friends.
Hunger.
Take the last french fry.
Again and again.
A car filled with friends.
I sat on the bench.
Give them a wave from a car with tinted windows.
It’s not them.
I wan...

waiting for my new sweatshirt
...Sweatshirts are my favorite clothes
Warm and cuddly, comfy too
I have many as my husband knows
In red, pink, green, gray and blue
My husband has bought me a little gift
A Foghorn Leghorn orang...

Retirement is a Whole New Perspective
...I have heard of a lazy day
Now I live them daily
Doing little to nothing at all
Looking at piles of things I could sort
But I don’t.
Retirement is a whole new perspective
A world unbeknownst ...

Weird Feelings
...I have some weird feelings.
The feeling when you run away from home and you forgot your umbrella…
…But it hasn’t rained yet, so maybe you’ll be ok…
I’m too young to have learned to pack enough swe...

The Pretty Boy Paradox
...Vexation seeps through sighs
As the pen finds comfort
Sharing the same story
Nonsensical pretty boys
With smoke cloud habits
And bloodshot ponderings
Vaunting on their
Newsworthy deli...

She Bejewels Everything
...My pal Charlotta bejewels everything she touches and sees
She has done up sweatshirts, coats and pants to their knees
But bedazzling a pumpkin? That seems weird even to me.
I ran right over to see...

Yule
...Shortest day, longest night
Celebration of light
Glistening ice and snow
Temperatures low
Bare trees
Ponds freeze

Long sleeve uniform
Cardigans and sweatshirts
Goodbye mini s...

It's Fall, Y'All
...It’s fall, y’all
And as the leaves
Change color, we
Put on long sleeves.
It’s time for socks
And sweatshirts zipped
So when temps drop
We’re well-equipped.
The air is filled
With pumpki...

Hubby Drags Back the Trash

He has squirreled so much crap back into this house
I make him put it into his office.
His office has six recliners, two b...

A Day In the Week of Life
...From sunup to sundown
it was indeed a weird day;
it seemed as if the sun rose
wearing dimming shades
and as if the wind had been
blown off course or locked out.
The bold-green leaf trees, hed...

People On Parade
...My bench provides a perfect view
Of people on parade.
I love to watch each passing person
Artfully displayed.
Some taxi yellow hi-top sneakers,
Jeans with ripped-up knees,
Tie-dye sweatshirts...
