Take A Look

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Look at those people,

Idle rich and working poor,

Have they got aught in common?

~

When we look beneath

the separating surface

we find shared humanity.

Travel

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When we rush to get

somewhere, we can go to some

places we’d rather not be.

~

Why bother rushing?

You’ll miss so much on the way!

It’s all about the journey!

Warmed By Wonder

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

A frigid sunset,

repeat with colored splendor,

can warm spirits, hearts, and souls.

~

Warmth can be found on

the coldest of days if we

take the time to look.

Doggone-It!

A playful male fox

eyes her from afar, wonders

who’s that vixen in the car?

~

Vixens often drive

bright-eyed foxes to wonder

why they stay so far away.

Valued Beyond Measure

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Something of value

may have no intrinsic worth,

but it is far from worthless.

~

Photographs that bring

back memories of times shared

with a loved one are priceless.

Mind The Voltage

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When we see how we’re

depicted in another’s

story, it can be a shock.

~

Some shocks startle us

into making needed change,

others just electrocute.

Guide Dogs

Like some huge millstone,

this six pound dog anchors me,

firmly, to this comfy spot.

~

My eighty pound dog

interrupts my busyness,

invites me to play.

After a long day

we want to wave work away

and make room for rest or play.

~

Having our druthers

may be one of many things

that await retirement.

I’d give cold hard cash

to see a court nominee

give that Senator what for!

~

What’s that Senator

for anyway? All we hear

is what he’s against.

Mini choices made

throughout the day tip the scale

to the plus or minus side.

It’s those little things

that truly make the difference

in the lives of Everyman.

Of Mice and Men

Ill-conceived actions

and gross miscalculations

construct the perfect mousetrap.

~

The world won’t beat paths

to rat Putin’s door to watch

him get caught in his mousetrap.

Genesis In Verse

The pond is caressed

by wind and light as birds sing

mid-day lullabies.

That’s quite a journey,

when you consider darkness

once rested on the deep’s face.

Unlikely beach scene

gracing my waking window;

perhaps a precognition?

Whether the beach scene

was from the past or future

it brought grace to the present.

Fun And Games?

Posted by 2garrabrants

Knox offered the cats

a chance to play hide and seek,

but they huffingly declined.

~

Hide and seek with Knox?

Akin to playing slap-jacks

with a rattlesnake!

Knox’s collection

of sticks steadily grows. It’s

doggone dog hoarding.

If he keeps it up

you’ll both watch your dog tv

from your little doggie house!

Early morning dental care.

Self-care’s such a good

predictor of well-being,

there’s no woo-woo about it.

March has many moods,

sometimes all in one short day.

Makes me long for May.

April’s welcome balm

is the perfect salve to sooth

all March’s wounds and itches.

Shifting States

Viewing shifting sands

in this semi-wake dream state

yields more questions than answers

It’s always better

to shift to questions than to

think you have all the answers.

majestic, but on the ground

Well… it’s not Covid

that has me feeling this bad,

so, I guess, that’s some good news.

than none, but we still hunger

for the full loaf of relief.

How many bluejays

can meet at the bird feeder

before a battle begins?

The horrors of war

and historic parallels

strengthen the call of the void.

May we put that call

on hold and answer the heart’s

calls for compassion instead.

It’s real hard to find

a way forward when holding

tightly to the past.

from the depth to the surface,

you, first, let go the anchor.

Was this what he meant,

when speaking of Putin fondly,

“I like the cut of his jib”?

If he likes to sail

with an autocrat, maybe

he has a similar jib.
