Forever Flawed

Posted by 2garrabrants

As we contemplate

the tragedies behind us,

what comedies lie ahead?

~

The fatal flaw is

in us all and will lead to

both tears and laughter.

Chirp a Cheerful Tune

Any suggestions

for how to recover from

post Thanksgiving blues?

~

Remember, as blue

as we may be, we’re still

better off than that turkey.

Crafty Planners

Since we can expect

the unexpected, how can

we hope to craft a good plan?

~

Any crafter of

good plans prepares for the worst

and hopes for the best.

The Empty Sack

What if Santa, like

Trump, decided it was much

better to receive than give?

~

Then he would collect

disappointment and sorrow

for all the hopes unfulfilled.

Eyes To See

Posted by 2garrabrants

She regards the sea,

but when viewed through feline eyes,

does she see like thee and me?

~

The world she sees is

much like ours, but she sees what

is, not what she wants to be.

How many turkeys

did it take to fix dinner

on Thanksgiving day?

~

Thanksgiving dinner

was prepared well in advance

by just one tired turkey.

All Work And No Play

Posted by 2garrabrants

How can one relax

and enjoy the holiday

when there’s so much work to do?

~

Sometimes we need to

forget work and remember

what happens when we don’t play.

The Root of the Matter

Teens with chores – why are

they frequently full of sass

and as slow as molasses?

~

They share a common

core, when it’s time for their chores;

Molasses. sassy. asses.

Grace Well Sought

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Would time pass slower

if our mad, frenetic pace

took a pause, and sought out grace?

~

Time will pass as time

will, but if we ourselves go

slow, we might find grace abounds.

Stroke Unstruck

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Why now and not then?

Why then and not now? 

Why never? Why forever?

~

The time was not right

to strike when the iron’s hot;

now it’s too cold for striking.
