Worth Considering

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

All things considered,

I suppose there’s greater sins

than not starting a poem?

~

You might ask the great

Creator who might suggest

non-writers anonymous.

Useless Clutter vs. Spare Parts

Posted by 2garrabrants

1

Disposing of stuff

I never used and forgot

I had. Feeling much lighter.

~

But one day, and soon,

you’ll remember a thing,

you need but no longer have!

Half Baked

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Dichotomous halves

always seeking unity

endlessly arguing means.

~

Which can lead us to

conclude that half a loaf might

be better than one.

The Name Of The Game

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Knox met a possum

today, didn’t understand

why he wouldn’t play.

~

That marsupial

was playing his game with Knox.

He just did not understand.

Winded

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Like climbing mountains,

seems an apt comparison

to describe recovery.

~

Especially when

it seems you’ve been in a long,

narrow valley for some time.

As You Sleep

Golden buttercups,

like tiny bits of sunshine,

brighten my lawn and my day.

~

At the forest verge

violet wood sorrel blooms

peek from beneath fallen leaves.

It’s Just A Number

Posted by 2garrabrants

Not so long ago

you were the young son of a

young mother. Now we’re both old.

~

Hopefully wisdom,

acquired through many years,

replaces long lost vigor.

White Out

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

One has to wonder

why kind of pro forma act

leads one to like a blank screen

~

Maybe in this age

of too muchness, some folks find

relief in the void.

Such Is The Way

Posted by 2garrabrants

Watching the birds feed

every day feeds me more than

the birdseed feeds them.

~

Any little seed

planted in rich, fertile, ground

will take root, grow, and flourish.

Trying, But…

Posted by 2garrabrants

1

Sometimes when we try

to make change for the better,

some things just seem to get worse.

~

Like when we sharply

reduce our sugar intake

and become a sour puss?

Perception Bias

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

An age old question:

why can’t they see the wisdom

of my words and ways.

~

Interesting thing-

One’s perception of wisdom

often differs from others.

Plumbing The Depths

Posted by 2garrabrants

1

Deep conversations,

supposed to build friendships,

often just foster discord.

~

If you’re going to

swim in deep waters, make sure

your companion wants to go.

We will write another day.

each other with love.

Eternities entombed

Does not begin to hobble

Those imbrued in love.

“I.T, Guy” installed software

Something To Dream About

Posted by 2garrabrants

With insomnia

One might expect more product:

Awake don’t equal focused!

~

Focus is sometimes

beyond our dreams whether we’re

asleep or awake.

What’s The Rush?

Posted by 2garrabrants

This creative rush

trying to sweep me away:

Gulf Stream, or just rip-current?

~

It could be that it’s

simply an outpouring of

genuine creative joy.

Even though the sky

is dark and covered with clouds,

the sun is still there.

The sun’s always there

Spreading warmth, if not it’s light

Upon the creatures below

Mind Play

The mind plays games

with incoming data sets,

crafting strange realities.

can tell using whatever

data, true or not, we find.

Saw heron and hawk

today, modeling both how

to balance and how to soar.

~

Saw possum and fox

tonight, modeling their skills;

when to freeze or run away.

This springtime malaise

may seem to be without cause,

but really it’s just pollen.

We love you, Spring …but

not all the allergic

reactions you bring.

The Good, The Bad, The Whole.

When bombarded with

stuff, it’s hard to pause and breathe,

but it’s better if we do.

All that stuff; worthless!

Unless, we experience

every faceted aspect.

Fixer! No Fixing!

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When our views are fixed

and we fixate on things we

can’t fix we can come unglued.

Even I can not

affix some deeper meaning

to that broken start, sorry.

Focal Point

At each other’s throats

about every little thing

though it’s all unimportant.

Rather than being

at each other’s throat, let us

listen to each other’s heart.

The poet’s not proud

proud family does!

It feels good to know

you’ve given your best ’til your

inner critic demands more.

they can’t let perfection be

their only yardstick.

into ever darker night

we clutch the promise of dawn.
