Leave me the stars

As I peer into the night sky, the moon and stars speak to me. Until an ad passed by. Now your brand is all I see. Why? Words fill my every waking moment, must they fill my nights as well. The stars do not need an opponent. Do you really need all 24 hours toContinue reading “Leave me the stars”

I hate you!

You are the most annoying sound in the world. All I want is to stay all snuggly and warm. Why can’t I stay curled, my thoughts and feelings transformed. My bed is like a trusted friend. That perfect hug. Sleep, the realm of dreams does bend. My bed doesn’t care if I lay like aContinue reading “I hate you!”

Waste not. Want not: trash bags

This poem is being written in stages to highlight the things I do toward frugal living. Waste not. Want not.

As we grow; we learn, “money doesn’t grow on trees.”Continue reading “Waste not. Want not: trash bags”

Roosters in stereo

One of the first things I do in the morning, Cheekie has to go pee. Forewarning. As we trek through the yard, his bladder about to bombard – the ground in lots of different places. Multiple spaces. A sound fills the morning air. Do they dare? Back and forth. From across the creek. Every dayContinue reading “Roosters in stereo”

Deleted

Got 19 e-mails. Deleted 11. Maybe I shouldn’t have deleted number 7? Lost in the mess. I’m not going to stress. Why? Why do you spam my guts out? It really makes me want to pout. 560 ‘junk’ e-mails. But I haven’t checked that in over a week. Hope your e-mail didn’t go to junk.Continue reading “Deleted”

Extinct

Science fiction buff at heart. Where do we start? At the beginning or the end? Into a tail spin should we send? The double edge sword; not of metal or of brass. But it will kick our collective – – -. A.I. will bring about some mighty impressive tools. Surely, it will not be soContinue reading “Extinct”

Why are you yelling at me?

I see you standing there. Why are you yelling at me? I can’t move. I can barely breathe. Why are you yelling at me? My legs and arms ache from immobilization. Why are you yelling at me? Dust from your rapid steps fill my eyes and nose. Why are you yelling at me? The ropesContinue reading “Why are you yelling at me?”

Screaming

https://youtu.be/V6Xoa1twIt4 Can you hear me? I’m screaming. I scream in the driveway. I scream in the car. I scream at work. I scream on the road. I scream in a crowd. I scream at the grocery. I scream in the parking lot. I have screamed till my throat hurts. Do you hear me? Do youContinue reading “Screaming”
