All day long
commentary
comes
between me
and the world.
~
We interrupt
this experience
for an important word
from the mind.

Let’s review.
Who did what
to who?

Argh!

Insight
It’s funny how our vision improves when
we open our
eyes, unseal
our hearts
and
let
the doors
of our minds
swing wide and free –
something not encouraged by Fox tv.

Long, Slow Climb
With a temperament like mine
the most one can hope for is
itsy
bitsy
baby
steps
over the long sweep of time.

Where Or Even If
Years ago they came,
my poor Irish grandparents,
to these shores where I
now stand. I can’t help but wonder
where or even if I’d be
had their courage or
their dreams been denied.

Natural Magic
No wand was waved when
the sun turned my mood from blue
to shimmering gold –
a much needed alchemy
after days of grey and lead.

Workplace Presence
Revealing nothing,
he stands in full possession
only of himself.

All Atwitter
Tweeting the royal
“we”, that little piggy cried
“me, me, me” all the way home.

All In The Family
I didn’t know
I was starting a family tradition
when I bought
that first mother’s day card,
signed my son’s name
and mailed it to myself.
When I proudly showed it to him,
he said, “Mom, could you also
send yourself some flowers and candy?
A simple card doesn’t capture
how blooming sweet you are.”

Out Here
The ravens out here
don’t croak “nevermore”.
They croak and croak
and croak forevermore.

To What End?
What if in the end
the answer is
one continuous question?
