I showed myself I

cared this Valentine’s Day by

gently working out.

                                                                JDG

Another gray day,

but not for me. Exercise

came and rescued me.

                                                         JDG

“Left lane must turn left.”

I wish the signs along life’s

way were all so clear.

In the beginning

this poem was without form

and my mind was void.

                                                                 JDG

Yesterday I took

a brief break, but now I’m back

 for fitness’s sake.

                                                                  JDG

Still raining, but I’m

not feeling blue ’cause to mine

own self I’ve been true.

                                                                     JDG

As I exercised

Toby cocked an eye, dogsplained,

“It’s raining. Just rest.”

                                                                         JDG

Without leaving home,

I find myself in a foreign 

land without a map.

                                                                    JDG

Another dead end…

and a chance to turn around,

find a different way.
