Let’s Take It In

Posted by 2garrabrants

As darkness deepens,

high above us, it begins.

Jupiter and Luna dance.

~

Astrologers say

their dance brings optimism

and benevolent action.

Emphasis On Faithful

As the birds gather

for their morning feast, Knox keeps

the pesky squirrels away.

~

Every little bird

wants a faithful guardian

to protect the food supply.

There’s some adventure

even seekers of such things

would be better off missing.

And then there are those

we didn’t sign up for, but

before we knew it,,,boom!

Winter Star Watch

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Crystal icy air

lends stars a merry twinkle

but makes watching misery.

~

Unfortunately

all that sparkles is not gold

when the air is icy cold.

A welcome sun shines

on this frigidly cold day –

a true Christmas gift.

A radiant gift

bringing joy to every heart

if not warmth to icy lands.

Dietary Advice

Posted by 2garrabrants

Nurturing the soul;

life’s singular endeavor.

All the rest, mere distraction.

Feeding our egos,

we starve our souls and we can

never get enough.

Morning winds foretell

a day of icy chill as

the sun looks on from afar.

Denial And Beyond

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

In this jacuzzi,

gazing past palms at the sea,

denying winter exists.

~

With a forecast of

nine degrees, that denial

will be quite short lived.

That Je N’est Sais Quoi

Posted by 2garrabrants

Just a tiny dot

between two immensities,

the sky, the ocean, and me.

~

Though the other two,

both, be vast and eternal,

neither holds an equal spark.

When Adventure Speaks

Posted by 2garrabrants

On the horizon

great ships travel to and fro

whispering of adventure.

~

By listening to

distant whispers we often

miss adventure’s nearby call.

Small Burdens Borne Afar.

Posted by 2garrabrants

The sea surrenders

itself to the waiting shore,

then slowly retreats.

~

And with every pass,

the sea fetches bits of shore

to carry as it journeys.

Necessary Abbreviations

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

A good rule of thumb,

if you’re parsing with adders:

Stock up on anti-venom.

~

If they’re known to be

adders, why parse? Save your words

for some appreciative folks.

A moment of peace

on a sunny day. Ocean

waves talk softly to the shore.

Smart seagulls strolling

in that gentle dialogue

wisely beak their raucous calls.

Them And Us

That nebulous they,

conspiring against us,

what do they hope to achieve?

That tremulous we,

filled with fear and suspicion.

What do we hope to achieve?

A Winter Strand

As they near the shore,

grey waves break into a wide,

white smile as seagulls soar.

The horizon hides

shyly behind misty veils

freeing the eyes to wander.

Woke up in fog, both

inner and outer. Wonder

which will be the first to lift?

Atmospheric fogs

form and lift with the weather.

Mental fogs tend to linger.

What’s Up? Traffic!

Lately our poems

seem reluctant to travel

from heart to paper.

Bodily travels

sometimes seize the precedent

and are subject to delay.

The Once and Future Verse

Posted by 2garrabrants

Is a poem lost

a chance to rewrite gained or

a hint to be more mindful?

Even lost poems

speak to some audiences,

when, per chance, they resurface.

From The Depths

Deep introspection

produces rich benefits

priceless and… untaxable

Untaxable, but

taxing nonetheless – such deep

thinking has a hidden cost.

Eighty years ago

I made my grand entrance and

I’m in no hurry to leave.

That “Three score and ten“

may number the years for men;

women get a bit longer.

Hateful rhetoric

is not polemic debate,

it’s just ego run amok

Hateful rhetoric

reveals the smallness of those

who need to feel big.

our path as we take our last

Double Pleasures

On a cold evening,

which provides greater comfort;

a fireplace or lapdog?

Why choose when you can

enjoy both sources of warmth

and comfort at the same time?

I watch the cat watch

the bird watching the squirrel –

home entertainment.

~

But who watches you?

Certainly, it’s not the dog.

After all, you’re not a stick.

with a warm daytime tease topped

with a nighttime mini freeze.

Hold ’em or Fold ‘em

Sometimes it’s a small

moment that could make a big

difference if we’d just seize it.

~

On the other hand,

sometimes big moments are made

when we dodge effectively.
