Extending her paw,
she gently touches my arm,
clearly wanting to connect.
“You stay too busy,” she purrs,
“Please put me on your agenda.”

Thank A Squirrel
Thank a squirrel.
The tree you see
may have come to be
because of a nut it buried
and then forgot.

Grandkids Find Painful Employment
Never ones to leave
a snarky thought unspoken,
when they began their
jobs with the public, their tongues
showed severe lacerations.

#FridayFantasy . . .🤣🤣🤣 Are you sure it was me?
We could all use a smile.

Indecisive
Even the weather
can’t make up its mind –
one moment rain,
the next sunny skies.

The Facts And More
We can’t change the facts.
They are what they are.
But the way we look
at them can change
and form a different story.

Singing In The Rain
The rain continues,
but the squirrels and birds don’t care.
They patiently wait
for the door to open and
for “she who feeds” to appear.

Hurt
I wanted to share this post from SEW1960 with you. She captures so well the complexity surrounding ” hurt”.
I hurt
like baby hurt
as in
I need mother’s milk,
Daddy’s shoulder.
The rest of the world
looks at me,
aghast.
Can someone shut up that baby
or toddler?
I am the little girl
weeping in the closet
because I couldn’t tie my shoes
or lock the door.
I hold it all in
like everyone told me to do.
There are more important things
to weep about.
Have you not learned your lesson,
baby girl?
Learn what hurt means.
Dusk Becomes Herself
Undoing what was,
she slowly becomes herself.
She changes her name,
redoes some tattoos, finds her
voice, stands up tall, speaks her truth.

An Opening
I open the door
to a gloomy day.
I stand and look
before I say,
“We’re a perfect match for each other.”
