Snapshot #103
Snapped this one just outside of Doright Manor on a cloudy afternoon. I call it, “Look! In the Sky ! It’s a Bird, It’s a…Bird. Just a Bird.”
Love Kept
He always knew where to find me, beneath the stairs with a novel in my hand.
The question was always the same, Whatcha reading? I instantly responded, A book,
Knowing he’d chuckle at my lame predictability. Back then we kept love in our pockets
Like wrapped peppermints to be savored after a spicy meal. Cool reminders of everything
Important. Kiss me now, I thought. While my breath is sweet and you are laughing at my joke.
Snapshot #102
The fairies in my backyard have kept a low profile all winter, but I found this little miss contemplating the coming of spring. I call this one, “A Think of Beauty.”
The Saddest Things
If tomorrow booted goons came to silence my free speech,
If in the night I found myself imprisoned for my beliefs,
The saddest thing would not be my arrest, but that
Friends like you would sit by and say, Well she did bring it on herself.
Oh, you might wring your hands when the executioner comes,
And you might pray for my poor soul’s repose,
But the saddest thing is you’ve watched democracy poisoned
And opened wide for the bringer of death’s dose.
With every measure this fool in charge claims greatness
A sleight of hand meant to convince and confuse
So when my body is hanged in the virtual square,
It’s your gullibility that’s tightened the noose.
And the saddest things are the memories of you with fierce ideals
Now turning a blind eye to injustices in a quest for the status quo
Those protest songs traded now for hymns of the prosperity gospel
Nothing like an evangelical sermon and a gaudy mummer’s show.
Bannon’s Pretty Puppet
Oh! What a Tangled
The vines entwine almost playfully about themselves and their host trees. I call this one, “Throw Me a Line.”
Falling
Falling from great heights
Stomach dropping headiness
Help me bungee cord!
Falling in deep love
Hormones rush in hectic waves
Help, help me Rhonda!
Falling in slow mo
Like an action movie scene
Help me Chuck Norris!
Pros and Cons
On Monday morning I have to have a little PROcedure. And honestly, even though I have a bit of anxiety about it, I’m enormously relieved that it’s not a CONcedure, or worse yet, an AMATEURcedure.
Cats and Tongues
Cat got your tongue? he asked.
That’s the stupidest question ever, I replied
Cats have no need for human tongues and such, but they might have my yarn.
Cats love yarn.
