Blue Doors and Small Bowls

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Witches and goblins

are on the loose, so why

are we opening our doors?

~

Leave a little milk

for those wee spirits most fey.

That will keep those haints at bay!

True Discernment

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When it comes to art,

is it easy to discern

masterpieces from doodles?

~

One man’s masterpiece

is another man’s doodle,

so it’s up to you to say.

No Oil Shortage Here

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

If  a little dab 

will do ya, why insist on

trying to get more?

~

Some smarmy greasers

want the whole enchilada;

less will never do!

Beyond Imagining

Posted by 2garrabrants

Somehow we have slid

quietly into year three.

Can you believe this journey?

~

I never would have

thought such an unlikely pair

as we would  get to year three.

Fruitcakes and Nutclusters

When old solutions

to current problems don’t work,

why do some still turn to Trump?

~

It is often said

“Expecting different results

from the same old thing is nuts!”

Master Mothers

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Now that the masters

are clutching their pretty prize,

can we all get back to work?

~

 As every mother

knows, the work’s never done and 

prizes are seldom given.

Is Bigger Better

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Whose idea was it

that pumpkins were better

used as lanterns than as pie?

~

Once, in the old world,

turnips served as spirit wards.

New worlds require bigger.

Heart Training

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Must we jump through hoops,

like packs of well trained puppies,

to earn meaningless awards?

~

You can look before

 you leap and decide, hoops or

no hoops, what’s worth jumping for.

Gyroscopic Balance

When there’s no there there,

should you turn to Fox News in

hopes they’ll find something?

~

Since the only news

you’ll ever find on Fox News

is all propaganda; no.

As Autumn mists rise

and leaves begin to color,

can we enjoy the changing?

Color me full of

joy at the prospect of change

after a heated summer.

Working the System

Isn’t our country

great? Even an idiot

can run for public office.

I’ll reserve judgement

until checks and balances

prove they work to good effect.

When we exercise

those old creative muscles,

does just our vision sharpen?

What grew dormant springs

into life at the first twitch

of those old muscles.

When we look into

the future, what happens to

this moment right now?

Trumpeteers

In this day and age

of instant news and sound bites

who would welcome the limelight?

~

For some the only

worthy news is news of them

in limelit splendor.

If our head is in

the clouds and our feet are on 

the ground, where’s our heart?

Soaring in between

solid ground and whispy dreams

having taken joyous flight.

Can we seek the joy

that’s been manifested by

Joy can be found in

many combinations – some

Highways or Byways

Posted by 2garrabrants

Doesn’t how we get

there help determine whether

we should even make the trip?

The means of travel

distinguishes a mere trip

from an epic adventure.

Parenting is hard.

Without a united front,

Is it even possible?

We parents need all

the help we can get. We give

thanks for loving villages.

Lots of Hot Air

If a sharp change in

weather affects car tires,

what is its effect on us?

~

When the weather cools

we can feel deflated too

until we turn up the heat.

Full Contemplation

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When contemplating

spirals, is it better to

focus on inward turnings?

~

Focusing on both

movement in and movement out

is best for spirals and breath.

The Yoke’s On You

Will donning the yoke,

though pleasing to the ploughman,

ever really please the horse?

Workhorses sometimes

don the yoke to survive and

learn to put pleasure aside.

When inner tempests

remain despite autumn sun,

what else might shake the maelstrom?

Sometimes tempests aren’t

shaken by looking high. Go

slow, dive deep, look low.

Obfuscatory Souls

perfection when it’s the flaws

that make us human?

recognizing their mistakes
