The dirt road freezes then it thaws
Ruts form in melting causing “awes”
From drivers going way too fast
Veering all ways from first to last
Tires getting stuck in grooves
Cars making unwanted moves
The trip was never meant to be
A closeup visit with a tree.

Start with a warming sunny morn
Gather new ice glazed branches
Stir in some moist brown earth
Add a crocus or snowdrop for flavor
Garnish with fresh green moss.

As a recording of Verdi was played, the puppeteer used a thin wire to simulate the doll handling the violin.

I don’t know but I’ve been told
A belligerent prez is getting old
Even staff are more discontented
Errant opinions being vetted
The old saying “what goes around”
Heard as a new Whitehouse sound
Is the virus starting to wear, and
What will it take to get him to care?

It takes ingenuity to write prose
Keeping continuity on the nose
Characters coming and going
Even weather, was it snowing?
Timing also with the facts
Exactly when did he do the act?
Writing’s not easy.

Since I don’t bake, chose fake.
This is bad news. Schools may lose state funding if not back to normal by certain date? Crazy! At least our governor is taking some action. From the Wyoming Tribune Eagle today:
I think it’s time to relax some of those rules. Drive up graduation after working hard on campus for four years? Announcements? Let’s rethink this.

Now all I need is a four wheel drive and a chauffeur to sit beside! Yum!☺️

Joe pryed open the gate to secretly meet Mike and Jack. It was the annual initiation for the new members of “Mischief Men”, a club started by Joe’s late father, a source of pride for thek men in the family. Crossing the line into Farmer Jones’ field was a dangerous task, for he was known to mete out harsh rewards for trespassing.
The initiation involved stealing a pig from Mr. Jones’ backyard without causing it to squeal in fear and alert the owner.
If this task was successfully completed without any of the initiates suffering a round of buckshot, a barbecue was held at Joe’s house where the new club members enjoyed the meat of their labor.
Heady fragrance lingers
A candle snuffed
Black soot on my fingers
Smoke curled into tears
How easy to surrender
Into forgetfulness
