Poem – Nineteen Months

Yesterday was a year and seven months… and between memories and emotions somehow came these words When smiles and gentle words of kindness Feel like embraces longed for When hugs and affectionate touch Melt stiffened scars aged in time When the scars have softened And the inner harsh voices have hushed A scarred heart beats…

Joshua and the Battle of Jericho

This has very little to do with Joshua. However, he did sound a blast on a Ram’s Horn which caused some biblical walls to come tumbling down in Jericho. I am writing this to explain about Holy Days which some may not completely understand, and to share how this year I will be a part…

No Worry, No Hurry

I got the mail from the mailbox Then noticed some trash across the street. I checked both ways and crossed, To retrieve the tiny cinnamon whiskey bottle someone had tossed. I came back across and threw the trash in my can, I got back in my car and then, As I started out my driveway…

Poem – Sorry Butts

Tired of Looking at Your Sorry Butts Smoking may be enjoyable even as your most flagrant foible, But if you must persist, Please use restraint and resist The urge to Chuck your butt out your car window, And take your butt along with you in tow. Perhaps extinguish it in a bottle Before you dump…

Poem – Breath of God

What does the breath of God look like? Breath of God Vapors, on a cold wintry night When breath is seen Invisible made visible Momentary clouds materialize Only to dissolve Vapors, that float and move, towards, away from.

Poem – Sunset Surprise

This is a Haiku triplet. It came from an unusual evening. The sunset was supreme. It was a symphony. The sunset in the west was spectacular, a mysterious haze all aglow and ablaze as low clouds descended to the ground and there was a shroud of vapor swirling. It was sprinkling and showering rain drops…

Roe v. Wade

Roe v. Wade…So as I’m standing here thinking about this post which only my friend Marcia commented on, I’m thinking how would I feel if someone told me I couldn’t have a vasectomy. Because if I had a vasectomy I might be preventing the birth of a child that wasn’t born yet. Okay it’s not…

Golden Eye Yellow Sunflower Shower Award (GEYSSA)

Golden Eye Yellow Sunflower Shower Award (GEYSSA)   You may or may not recall, some time ago I wrote a piece about the sunflowers. I will summarize. Once upon a time, the sunflowers got together, Marched on Washington, D.C. and marched right into Trump’s office. When they left, tens of thousands of them, Trump lay…

After IT – The Sound of Dirt

Two days later, the day of the funeral is mild and sunny.   The hole in the ground is much smaller than he was tall. Or so it seems when vertical is converted to horizontal. But it does seem deep. The casket is lowered in and there is at least four feet between the top…

Restless Is The Kingdom

In the beginning, before there was woman or man, there were the animals. Recently, they have been disturbed by the POTUS ignoring scientific information and factual knowledge listening only to the voices inside his own head and the group of ignoramuses that he has surrounded himself with. The animals decided to convene a confederation with…
