The picture is not flattering
The face looks like a wrinkled pancake
With a nose
And glasses.
Goodbye youth….
Hello to a future that no longer depends on pretty
Guess I had better work on my personality
LOL
Observations on April 4, 2016
Wind howling;
Snow falling;
While….
Birds bravely chirp,
Emerging buds shiver.
Blooms take cover
from the sharp cold ~
Spring momentarily put on hold…..
April Snow
Spring snow
Glazes buds and blooms–
Sparkling daffodils
bow under the white weight.
Sun melts; the thaw
leaves only dew drops.
Newspaper Woman
A rumbling starts
From deep within
It roils and coils and leaps about
My nerves are on the outside
Looking in
Wondering why they have no shelter
Why they have no protection
Livewires of
Energy and
Creativity.
My fingers cannot keyboard fast enough
Ideas mound up
Molehills literally become mountains
Everything becomes big, insurmountable.
There are no toeholds in the side of this mountain
It is sheer polished rock…..
I slide down into a heap of exhaustion
Relief………….
Another deadline met.
This is how I feel before, during, and after writing my weekly newspaper column. Whether or not I will write a daily poem this month that celebrates poetry is up in the air…………it is an intention–but we all know where intentions sometimes end up……….
