A Classic Conundrum

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Who knows what we’ll find

if we open our eyes and

set all assumptions aside?

~

Let’s assume WordPress

makes changes not just on whim

and embrace block editing.

Drama City

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Just like pulling teeth,

these needlessly dramatic,

circular conversations.

~

A drama a day

keeps facing unpleasant truths

at bay where it’s hoped they’ll stay.

Talking or Walking

Posted by Joan

0

Even though the truth

stares us in the face, we’ve learned

to rely on lies.

~

Truth’s hard to swallow

while lies slide down real easy

when you only talk the talk.

Here at the Drive-in,

yes, promise, they still exist,

watching vintage commercials!

~

This vintage mother

sits at home viewing Netflix,

no commercials, on tv.

The Irrational Fight

Posted by Joan

As the years go by,

more and more lives are lost, but

many resist gun reform.

As the years went by

more and more lives were lost, but

many resisted seat belts.

Vacate and Renew

Posted by agarrabrant

A brief time away

can alter your perspective

And recharge your very soul.

~

When we leave behind

our familiar daily cares,

we often regenerate.

Embracing Satan

Posted by agarrabrant

0

They gained the whole world

but did they also lose their

souls in the process?

~

From my perspective,

that seems like the deal they made.

Guess we’ll see how they profit.

Posted by agarrabrant

Here we go again,

collecting numerous likes

on another empty page!

Wordless poems must

be all the rage and no work

is needed. You can’t beat that.

What’s The Buzz

Posted by agarrabrant

A Virginia spring

has a magic all its own –

medicine for tired souls

~

Now that spring has sprung,

Cicadas will soon emerge,

making us long for winter.

A Little Dab Will Undo Ya

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Velvety velour

somehow seems sandpapery

because of one bit of grit.

~

No matter how hard

we try, the grit seizes our

attention and won’t let go.

A tangerine sky-

promise of a juicy end

to a busy day?

~

Going farther west

that tangerine looks peachy

and rather more sfumato.

Daffodil Despair

Posted by agarrabrant

Beneath this downpour,

those dejected daffodils

hang their heads and cry

~

The morning brought change,

but to their dismay, what came

was not sun, but snow.

Regardless The Handicap, Only Fools Bet Against Time

Posted by agarrabrant

0

When racing against

clocks, it’s hard to make the time

to track each fleeting moment.

~

Racing against time

hardly seems worth the effort

since it has such a head start.

In All Kinds Of Weather

Posted by agarrabrant

Active deception

builds a climate of mistrust

regardless of intentions.

It’s especially

hard to trust the sunniest

forecasts in such a climate.

Rash Rush To Judgement

Posted by agarrabrant

Going somewhere slow

sure beats going nowhere fast

unless speed is all that counts.

Fools always rush in

where Angels are reluctant

to fly supersonicly.

Fairy lights dancing

in hues of purple and blue

through the distant misty woods.

Heeding The Wild’s Summons

Posted by agarrabrant

Often when we go

on a quest, we find something

much different than what we sought.

~

There’s no pot of gold

lurking rear the rainbow’s end,

but magic’s found in searching.

this resplendent afternoon,

A sane voice rings out,

calling us to remember

that truth does matter.

Sane voices can’t quite

drown out shrill insanity

rehashed with such stridency.

This feuding must end.

We can’t be a whole nation

full of Hatfields and McCoys.

We can disagree

with civility and use

differences creatively.

Sometimes the best thing

to do is nothing, but that’s

an affront to can-doers.

Nobody can tell

when nothing’s being done if

everybody looks busy.

…And just how often

must a person be cautioned

before they will heed advice?

Many a classic

tale centers around just such

a perennial question.

Color me confused.

They’re pro-life but they won’t take

the COVID vaccine?

 Odd… They won’t wear masks

yet still they hide behind them?

Fundamental enigmas!

with a railway disaster?

doze off, but we hope we don’t

put our poor readers to sleep.

Tiny birds visit

the pile of fallen trees,

paying homage to what was.

In life, a refuge

from weather and predators,

in death, still, refuge for prey.

lets slip their dogs to follow

the crap back to the crappers!

Pulled so many ways

by pleasures and duties,

how is one to cope?

Coping begins with

learning what to say yes to

and when to say no.

warm, gray, and wet. I gladly

regardless our preferences,

a freezing rain is the worst?

is begging to be replaced

by the approaching springtime.

to yearn for a bit of light,

a wish soon to be granted.
