Strolling

 

Rainy

Drainy

BrainyZany

Strolling on a rainy, drainy day.

Feeling in a brainy, zany way.

Until Next Time

 

Hubby rattles on sometimes.

Since his strokes, I do the chores.

He often offers suggestions.

Sometimes his advice is helpful.

Sometimes not so much.

When he senses he’s getting in trouble,

he says, “Okay, I’ll shut up.”

“Till next time,” I say.

And we laugh.

The Writing Well

 

Will the writing well run completely dry?

No, there’s always more.

You stare at the blank page and sigh.

Will the writing well run completely dry?

Thoughts will piece together by and by.

You may have to go deep to get what’s in store. 

Will the writing well run completely dry?

No, there’s always more.

Divine Song

 

Flora and fauna harmonize  

Singing the nature of God

Declaring the divine and wise

Flora and fauna harmonize

From bull elk to butterflies  

The trees of the fields applaud

Flora and fauna harmonize  

Singing the nature of God

Remix PAD 29-1, triolet

 

Dandelions, Bubbles, and Wind  

 

Spring days of kites and giggling kids

Dandelions, bubbles, and wind  

Chasing butterflies and katydids

Spring days of kites and giggling kids

Parents watching for tumbles and skids

Kissing better the knees that are skinned

Spring days of kites and giggling kids

Dandelions, bubbles, and wind  

What, PAD 28-3

 What Am I Doing?

 

The most often asked question of the day.

As my mind flits from one thing to another,

I find myself in front of the refrigerator asking,

What am I doing?

 

Or I open up my computer to check email,

click on Facebook and start scrolling

And then it dawns on me, I didn’t mean to do this.

What am I doing?

 

Or, with determination, I go back to my bedroom.

I stand there looking at the pictures on the wall,

The closet, the dresser, at myself in the mirror,

What am I doing?

What, PAD 28-2, Trois-Par-Huit

 

What to Do

 

What to do

When feeling sad and blue,

Find someone bluer, brighten their day.

 

It feels good to help someone else along the way.

Reaffirm and encourage them in what you say.

 

Your sense of well-being will renew.

Make sadness a cue to

What to do.
