You Never Know

    When my pen is poised and the words refuse

to flow, it could

be a sign 

to dive

deep,

keep

silent,

and simply

sit and wait ’til

inspiration strikes or I fall asleep.

Day 165 – The Full Treatment

For a week I showed

care for myself

by treating a bad cold,

but I’m back now

to caring for myself

with the treat of exercise.

Unintentionally Obtuse

The wider my mind opens,

the more and less I know.

A thoughtless paradox

or a poet’s paradise?

On This Point

They are right, you know.

Mental health is the issue.

Who in their right mind 

would sell civilians assault

rifles and who would buy them?

Especially In February

For one brief moment

the sun shines,

then grey claims the day.

Still,

those small moments had their say

A Granddaugher’s Amazing Discovery

“Gaba, did you know

you were born BEFORE the first computer

which weighed FIFTY TONS ?

That explains a lot,” she said.

 and I had the wisdom

not to ask exactly what.

No Whines

Though the sun won’t shine

I won’t whine. I’ll just

begin my exercises.
