Those Were The Days

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Nostalgic moments

rise unbidden from the deep,

swallow us in warm regard.

~

Sweet past moments peek

into the present and bring

balance to our days.

So Spake the Grasshopper

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Misery Defined:

working inside on taxes

when outside it is sublime.

~

Some say Diligence

is its own reward, but some

know that’s all just poppycock.

Control

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

So, she wants control.

I guess she does not yet know

control is an illusion.

~

But loss of control

is no illusion as so

many of us know.

Our Enduring Legacy

Posted by 2garrabrants

Before mowers come

daffodils fill medians

and brighten our way.

~

After we have gone

and our works have turned to dust

they’ll remain our requiem

Mull And Ponder

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Pondering the plan,

of dinner preparation

propagates dyspepsia.

~

That merely means we

must venture forth and mull meal

menus from fun restaurants.

Know Which Way The Wind Blows

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

March has been full of

weather teases and lies. Hope

April doesn’t follow suit.

~

Lies and teases have

become the norm for most all

climate related discourse.

Late Night Visitors

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

That bull terrier-

strangers do not know his bark

is far worse than his kisses.

~

And because of that

I am protected and quite

grateful when strangers arrive.

A Living Rage

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

It seems some budding

leaves turn red with anger when

Spring weather turns icy cold.

~

That burning fury

may yield just the little heat

they need for their survival.

Refreshment

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Slept the clock around

for the first time in decades

yet, somehow, don’t feel refreshed.

~

When sleep fails to bring

refreshment, we might ask what

it is that needs refreshing.

High Tea

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Arose before four,

before the sun even thought

of rising…oh well.

~

A rose, before four,

is, almost, a teatime rose.

It just needs caffeine to bloom.

Manage the crisis;

not by offering advice

but by lending assistance.

That old song says it

very well: “We get by with

a little help from our friends.”

So Satisfying

to know at day’s end needed

tasks are at last done.

Why, then, can I not

cast myself upon my bed

to reap my reward of sleep?

Exit Left?

Posted by 2garrabrants

Was that frigid gale

Winter’s last heroic gasp

or Spring’s overture?

~

Either way let’s hope

Winter finally rests and lets

Spring step forth and fully sing.

Hearing the old tree

creak, I realized we two have

some things in common.

Luckily for us,

when we crack- come crashing down,

there is hope we’ll rise again.

An undisclosed source

told winter it could linger.

Let’s track that source down.

When we find them out

applying heat and pressure

will rectify the problem.

It’s not the warming

I welcome most, every spring;

rather, the soft greening light.

I don’t wonder where

the wild things are. They are

here fighting over birdseed.

Though wreaking havoc,

with or without their wolf suits,

no one denies crows their meal!

I suspect there’s bots

following our poets’ blog!

What human “likes” empty posts?

Seeing all those new

buds, I ask myself where are

there new buds in me?

Dear, those bud-like things

are just polyps and skin-tags

hardly harbingers of spring.

In this small garden,

why do plants not go to war

fighting over precious dirt?

Perhaps kudzu has

not yet come their way and those

of course, that’s when duty calls.

March arrives, bringing

many colored bouquets. Let’s

our poetry… not so much.

It’s hard to listen

to the whispers of the soul

when ego does the talking.
