Galveston/Mesa Trip Day 14, Keep Blank Poetic Asides

 Keep Grinning

Day 14 Galveston/Mesa Trip

 

We keep playing cards,

Score sheets by the yards,

And my daughter keeps winning.

Canasta—great game.

Only few I claim.

Even so, I keep grinning.

Galveston/Mesa Trip Day 13

 Day 13 Galveston/Mesa trip

 

Like a plucked chicken

Will his hair thicken?

My smart son cut his own hair

With holes in his shirt

He dared go to work

I wish that he’d show more care

Galveston/Mesa trip Day 12 Poetic Bloomings front or back

 Day 12 Galveston/Mesa Trip 

 

Halfway Point

 

Just out the front door

Two blocks and no more

The ocean waited each day

‘Neath the umbrella

Peaceful I tell ya

Yes, we would have liked to stay

 

Now back with my three

My own family

In Arizona a while

We’ll eat and we’ll play

Maybe work each day

Then go back home with a smile

Galveston/ Mesa trip Day 11

 Day 11 Galveston/Mesa Trip  

 

It’s been a long day

There’s not much to say

Flew out of Houston at noon

Eli came, no doubt

And then we ate out

Texas trip over too soon

Galveston/Mesa Trip Day 10

 Day 10 Galveston/Mesa Trip 

 

Galveston,  good bye

Houston with a sigh

We had a nice Uber ride

So where do we eat?

Won’t admit defeat

So Dominoes with a side

Galveston/ Mesa Trip Day 9, spring, Poetic Asides

 Day 9 Galveston/Mesa Trip 

 

What a crazy spring!

We’re vacationing,

Sis and I, in Galveston. 

At home, there is snow.

Now, Sis broke her toe.

Oh well, we’re still having fun.

Galveston/ Mesa trip Day 8

 Day 8 

 

Octopuses, rays

Sea creatures amaze

Balmy rainforest go through

Yes, it sounds absurd

Hit by large blue bird

Moody Gardens, lots to do
