High speed internet

here at last! Grandchildren might

linger longer now.

~

…on the other hand…

“I.T, Guy” installed software

to “troubleshoot” from far away.

Something To Dream About

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

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

0

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

Posted by 2garrabrants

The mind plays games

with incoming data sets,

crafting strange realities.

Ah, the stories we

can tell using whatever

data, true or not, we find.

Woodland Lessons

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.

Spring Messages

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.

Posted by 2garrabrants

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.

Homecoming

As vacation ends

and we prepare to go home,

we wonder what’s coming next.

You’ll be welcomed by

your mom with a to-do list,

glad to have you back.

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

Posted by 2garrabrants

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

to receive his accolades…

but his dad’s got that in spades!

May he savor this

sweet moment as much as his

proud family does!

It feels good to know

you’ve given your best ’til your

inner critic demands more.

Critics need to learn

they can’t let perfection be

their only yardstick.

As daylight’s hope fades

into ever darker night

we clutch the promise of dawn.

Day to dusk to night

to dawn – yet still we resist

the cyclic nature of time.

Take A Look

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

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!

A frigid sunset,

repeat with colored splendor,

can warm spirits, hearts, and souls.

Warmth can be found on

the coldest of days if we

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.

but it is far from worthless.

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.

I’d give cold hard cash

to see a court nominee

Ill-conceived actions

and gross miscalculations

construct the perfect mousetrap.

him get caught in his mousetrap.

The pond is caressed

by wind and light as birds sing

mid-day lullabies.

when you consider darkness

once rested on the deep’s face.

Unlikely beach scene

gracing my waking window;

perhaps a precognition?

it brought grace to the present.

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!
