Stuff Happens

In one simple phrase

Jeb spoke volumes, letting us

know where his heart lies.

Persistent Ploys

Insist and resist –

life strategies learned at two,

still too often used

Recalibrating

After a day filled

with “if only”, I slowly

shift to “Ok. This.”

Now And Then

It’s just for now that

 dark clouds hover. Tomorrow

sun will fill the sky.

 Can we find a way

 to live both with and beyond

such changing weather?

Done Undone

Foregone conclusions

have a way of going wrong.

See Clinton  08.

Bliss

For a few hours

I whisper sweet nothings in

silence’s cocked ear.

Summer Satisfactions

Intermittent rain

this summer season – flowers

bloom and trees rejoice.

                ~

Accepting summer

after rejecting winter –

inner seasons change.

It’s A Sign

Poets ignore those

no trespassing signs and write

their way into life.

~

Faced with bird droppings,

the poet works  to turn poo

into poetry.
