A study published in the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences suggests that there are as many as 27 different categories of emotions.

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”
Talk about
My world is calm and peaceful this morning. Last of winters snow covers the ground. Nothing is making a sound. ~ For a moment, sit, embrace the cold.

Bittersweet
Bittersweet, success from the start. Success drives the mind, body and heart. ~ Success for a better life. Life without strife. ~ Success to share. 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

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!”
Angry cow: a haiku
Negative
I can say with the upmost honesty, I’m thrilled at the negativity. ~ Happy you are finally gone. Happy from my body you have been thrown. ~ Bye, bye Covid. You took away my novid. ~ Days I stayed held up in the house. Days I wasn’t quite as a mouse. ~ But you’ve gone.Continue reading “Negative”
