What Emerges

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Transitions and change

bring out the worst in many;

for some, it’s their time to shine.

~

No one can predict

with absolute certainty

which it is going to be.

The Spices Make The Dish

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Living fully means

accepting many muddy

ambiguities.

~

Ambiguities

don’t prevent living fully,

they just add subtle nuance.

Will Money Talk?

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When the Swiss take sides,

might that be a little clue

that you miscalculated?

~

The Swiss are walking

a fine line. The question is

have they actually drawn one?

February Certainties

Another rainy

February day. Wishing

warm sun would chase rain away.

~

As the rain comes down

and the thermometer drops,

the cat meows at the door.

The Spice of Life

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Not all love is sweet

Neither all limits bitter

They are life’s dark chocolate.

~

Life is rich. Both love

and limits come in varied

forms and multiple flavors.

Togetherness in Limits

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Now that Knox watches

DogTV, I’m being forced

to share precious viewing time.

~

So long as sharing

is limited to screen time

and excludes the food dish…

What Matters

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

In the scheme of things,

is using the wrong pronoun

worse than, say, global warming?

~

Both issues need our

compassionate attention –

that’s the heart of the matter.

Alive Within

This nostalgic ache

dwelling there, where grief once lived

has become life’s companion.

Such indwelling life

companions bring a depth of

understanding to us all.

As the sky brightens

our dark moods begin to lift.

It wasn’t a breeze.

There’s nothing breezy

or easy or bright about

lifting moods up from darkness.

Voila! We have learned how to

be real somersault artists.

Knox was lost, but now

he’s found, yet somehow I feel

like the one who’s saved.

Salvation will come

to those who are deserving

Uneasy Answer

Posted by 2garrabrants

“Practice makes perfect“

may be the easy answer,

but perfect chaos needs none.

Perfect chaos helps

one see the unpracticed skills

of imperfection.

Did he think he’d sweep

her off her feet with that broom

mop combo for Valentine’s?

~

That ranks right up there

with that old vacuum cleaner

one sad Christmas years ago.

Birds On A Poet’s Budgie

Posted by 2garrabrants

If you try to duck

the fact you’re a silly goose,

I’ll crow about it.

~

I’d pay a pretty

Guinea, for those waterfowl.

I’ll just try a Squab instead.

Socialization

is more than recreation,

it’s more of a way of life.

But not for hermits

whose preferred way of life is

one of solitude.

After Knox watches

DogTv, I hope he comes

away edified.

Likely mortified

by the populist dogma

that populates the airwaves.

How do we lose track

of our pre-planned scheduled posts?

Poetry’s not surgery!

Poetry’s written

in a non sterile place where

all manner of bugs await.

Buried Assets

Cat leaves small presents.

I sadly decline. Perhaps

you’d like to opine.

~

All those moles and voles,

though not appreciated,

will eat no more Iris bulbs.

In whom do you trust

and is your faith well founded

if you’ve chosen unwisely?

I trust compassion

wherever and whenever

it flows. It’s there my faith grows.

Fat squirrels smile

as they down the last bird seeds.

The birds and I groan.

Smile in relief

because chubby smiling squirrels

won’t eat your car’s wiring.

Can Daughters Change?

Posted by 2garrabrants

There’s always room for

change, but that room often gets

stockpiled with excuses.

Some things never change;

like the stockpile of trash

in her excuse of a room.

with no concern for profit,

us lifts our spirits, gives us

hope and points the way.

A stark reminder –

unrestricted rights to guns

lead to horrifying wrongs.

~

When those rights go wrong,

some call for some restrictions,

others just blame the shooter.

“Trust those on the scene.“

Hardest words ever spoken

to a family far away.

Holding their loved ones

in their hearts, the families

sit and wait and wait.

Letter Rip

Posted by 2garrabrants

Vowel asks consonant,

“Will you join me for a word?”

Consonant replies, “Ok”.

~

Number feels left out

Begs to join the equation

Suddenly, there’s Algebra!
