As trees quench their thirst
with November rain, I drink
in their Autumn sheen.

Realizing I’m unsteady
on my feet,
I’m adding balance exercises
to my beat.

When our leaders send
soft words, but refuse to take
hard actions, when they
put personal profit first
and public interest
last, the best we can hope for
is trickle-down kindness.

It looked like the fog had won,
wrapping us in shrouds
of confusing grey,
but farther down the road,
though the day was overcast,
the fiery truth stood firm and true.

When I first started,
day ninety seemed so far away
and now it and I are here.
Before I look at what’s to come,
I’ll pause, take a breath, and simply say,
” Well done, Self, well done.”

I know it’s gonna be alright,
sittin’ here, groovin’ tonight –
good friends, good eats, rockin’
to the British beat.
I know it’s gonna be alright,
sittin’ here, groovin’ tonight –
twenty-five years and they’re doing swell,
my good friends, Bill and Michelle.
It won’t take no revolution.
They have found a great solution –
good friends, good eats, rockin’
to the British beat.
Bill and Michelle, we wish you well.
Twenty-five years and you’re doing swell.

Day
eighty-nine
and it’s been quite
a climb, but I’m close to
my goal and glad I stayed with it.

Without aesthetics
or logic, there really is
no rhyme or reason.

Early morning and
my exercises are done.
A smile lights up my face.
Today I rise and shine.

November has not seemed eager
to shed summer’s garb
and dress for fall.
I never knew she was such
a reluctant senior.
AARP should give her a call.
