In Due Time

More green leaves appear

on the dying tree, inspired

perhaps, by their forerunners.

~

Trees, much like people,

bud, leaf, blossom, and bloom

on their own schedule.

Winning Washout

Posted by 2garrabrants

1

A washed out eclipse,

none the less, provides a chance

to capture dynamic clouds.

~

Even though you did

not get what you were looking

for, look what you got!

Divine Dances

Toward the end of day,

the sun briefly waved hello

then hurriedly disappeared.

~

Apollo’s stately

pace across the firmament

hid by Aeolian’s shrouds.

It has been so long

since we’ve dined without children,

I nearly called you to task!

~

I thought I noticed

a stern look on your face that

reminded me of my dad.

Knox cautions me not

to let the slow drizzle

dampen my mood, stop our walk.

My dogs had a ball

running in the dog park mist

but their owners missed the joy.

What tangled chaos

even with best intentions.

To avoid tangles

The Numbers Game

Posted by 2garrabrants

They say they care for

the unborn, but once born they

and their moms are on their own.

~

What they care about

is a shrinking labor force

and shrinking majority.

A tank full of gas

and nothing to do but drive!

Behold the freedom of youth!

Such freedom comes with

youth and retirement. Ah,

how I long for the latter!

Never Met A Shtick I Didn’t Lick…

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When Knox is asked, “What

is your shtick, he picks one up,

but indicates they’re all his.

~

It’s unique to him,

at least in our family,

his shtick with any he finds.

Sodden spring leaves

can not dampen the joyous

Good mothering is

something we all need and it

can come from many sources.

The rain fails to wash

away Knox’ and my pleasure

in our evening walk.

Cold spring rain hardly

seems conducive to pleasure

for walking dogs or owners.

Rollercoaster rides.

Really only fun and games

in Amusement parks.

It is no fun when

thoughts, emotions, and events

take us for unwelcome rides.

Today I longed to

be shiftless, but I couldn’t

make the necessary shifts.

You really must stop

making any kind of shift

We the people must

shedding death-like patinas

Some things mean a lot

even though they may not be

of cosmic significance.

Who’s to say just what

Worth Considering

All things considered,

I suppose there’s greater sins

than not starting a poem?

You might ask the great

Creator who might suggest

non-writers anonymous.

Disposing of stuff

I never used and forgot

I had. Feeling much lighter.

you’ll remember a thing,

you need but no longer have!

Half Baked

Dichotomous halves

always seeking unity

endlessly arguing means.

Which can lead us to

conclude that half a loaf might

be better than one.

Knox met a possum

today, didn’t understand

why he wouldn’t play.

was playing his game with Knox.

He just did not understand.

Like climbing mountains,

Especially when

it seems you’ve been in a long,

narrow valley for some time.

violet wood sorrel blooms

you were the young son of a

young mother. Now we’re both old.

White Out

One has to wonder

why kind of pro forma act

leads one to like a blank screen

of too muchness, some folks find

relief in the void.

Watching the birds feed

every day feeds me more than

the birdseed feeds them.

Any little seed

planted in rich, fertile, ground

will take root, grow, and flourish.

Sometimes when we try

to make change for the better,

some things just seem to get worse.

reduce our sugar intake

Perception Bias

An age old question:

why can’t they see the wisdom

of my words and ways.

Interesting thing-

One’s perception of wisdom

often differs from others.

Deep conversations,

supposed to build friendships,

often just foster discord.

swim in deep waters, make sure

your companion wants to go.
