A song
I had a dream about you the other night. Nothing obscene. Nothing to cause a fright. ~ In my dream, I got to see you play. At a local festival. It was day. ~ You had no idea I was around. Singing and playing, happiness you had found. ~ A little lady about 85, pattedContinue reading “A song”

Eat or breathe
Cleaning the yard can be quite hard. ~ A lovely day no where close to May. ~ Down tree limbs a brush pile laden to the brim. ~ Saw’em up and burn’em in a pit; clean that yard. Have a pop and sit. ~ Enjoy being outside. Watch the sun; across the sky, ride. ~Continue reading “Eat or breathe”

Share with those treasured ones who care. ~ Bittersweet, success when you’ve made it to the top. Only to find those you thought cared, stopped. *A poetic conversation 2024
The hunter; part 2
This was their sympathy? Placing me in the night sky for eternity? ~ Canis Major and Canis Minor my only companions. Feelings akin to abandon. ~ Denied my Merope, not from above. Blinded for my love. ~ Accused, Artemis for trying to rape her. Hunters we were. ~ Apollo’s jealousy over Artemis’, What a fuss?Continue reading “The hunter; part 2”
Behold!
I am so glad you said you were in a silly mood earlier today. I bit it not to make the cheese say: ~ ‘Found us, you did. Hunger pains you want to rid. ~ Eat us up in a salad. Much needed flavor. Your taste buds ballad. ~ Your mouth salivated. At our delightfulContinue reading “Behold!”
