Depends on how you want to start or end your day.

Not Today
Not today. No trimming the hedges or running the vacuum or washing the dishes. Not today. No shopping for groceries or doing the laundry or making a meal. Not today. No solving of problems or balancing the books or planning, managing or directing. Not today of all days my birthday and maybe tomorrow, too!
Watch
She watches
first the sunlight
across his face
while he sleeps.
He stirs
and finally moves
as the bright rays
drive him from his resting place.
Time
minutes
perhaps a hour
the light shifts
to another
corner.
Until
finally
midmorning
only shadows rest
upon the walls.
Time to go
to work now.
She thinks,
someday
she’ll only
have the watching
to do

Heading Somewhere
They say, ” change takes time.”
Ha!
It’s happening all around, everywhere, every second, every nanosecond. No need to get on board. You already are.
Someone Dear
She’s poetry, every move she makes, every thought. Click here.
Big Show

The ticking clock
The clock, on the tabletop, was an inspiration this morning. A quick poem and I’m off…time is ticking away.
Goodbye Robert E. Lee
Cast in bronze
Astride your horse, Traveler
While cars circle around you all day
And into the night
You stand tall–a familiar sight
A landmark
A work of art.
Beware.
The memory of you
Has tarnished.
There’s a brand new perspective
Recasting you.
Goodbye
Robert E. Lee

May this Day Be Good
Show me some round women
not those stick figures
of our youth.
Bring me a grandmother
so she make speak
softly
and comfort me
tell me a story
and laugh with me
then send me on my way
warmer
stronger
loved
Seeking
I searched everywhere
under the sun
and moon
for you
until you found me
