Winter Season
No panic attack “I’m sure they sit around and talk about everyone.” “And the most humiliating part was the superintendent was sitting beside me.” He paused talking but not pacing. “Gay!” “What did the superintendent say?” “Nothing, I can only speculate that he was too shocked to say anything.” Oscar finally sat on the couch,Continue reading “Winter Season”
Waste not. Want not; productive?
When do you feel most productive? Spring. How I love you. The Earth is waking up. Trees and flowers are blooming. Gray, depressing days move out for days full of birds and sunshine. *deep breath* Beautiful. Tuesday, I’m sitting in the doctor’s office, my sinuses full of “love dust” aka pollen. The doctor puts hisContinue reading “Waste not. Want not; productive?”
Waste not. Want not: apple cider vinegar
This poem is being written in stages to highlight the things I do toward frugal living. ~ First it was Covid mouth. Yeah, it’s a thing. Mouth wash to the rescue. Sadly, none did I bring.

Not gonna eat that Oscar came home about 3 o’clock. She thought it was odd but then again, school hadn’t started yet.

What dreams may come?
Welcome. For those of you that read my work often, you have read about some of my dreams. I try to write down the more interesting ones. Sometimes it takes a minute or two to get them down. The really good ones stick around. They are fuel for my pen. I have been listening toContinue reading “What dreams may come?”
Winter Season
Proposal “I think it’s getting better, though I’m not willing to try.” He put his hands on her waist. “How about we pack our lunch and go to the lake and have a picnic?” She kissed him, “I like that plan.” “I love you.” “And I love you.” At the lake, she spread out theirContinue reading “Winter Season”

Cough Choke Gag Wheez Don’t do with me as you please. ~ Sniffle Snort Sneeze Dizzy Don’t have the energy to be in a tizzy. ~ Want to know what a frog in a blender sounds like? I’ll give you a hint- me. Horse Croak Laryngitis No fun folks. ~ Squishy, squishy down into theContinue reading “3 days”
Winter Season
Church Oscar had gotten most of his wish. They had spent most of the month of July at the lake. They both had a light tan. He had been able to sneak the ring sizer on her finger without her knowledge. Or at least he felt she didn’t know. He peered out the window andContinue reading “Winter Season”
