Crawl out of bed
With aching back
Spring in my step
I sorely lack
Gather my wits
Still have a few
Go to the kitchen
For a coffee brew
Putting it off
But have to tinkle
Bathroom mirror
Shows a new wrinkle
Notice it’s always Father Time?
See my reflection and see why
Men age gracefully it seems
Women no longer a thing of dreams
Shut the door after brushing my head
Grab the coffee and go back to bed.

Ghosts and goblins will prevail
Coming in your holiday mail
Suit up for the autumn fest
Wear a pumpkin on your vest
Colors, hues all I love
Seen in trees displayed above.

Leering at the two trash talking braggarts’ fist bump, Marie was determined this would be the last time she would endure their jokes. It was time to face the ugly truth and get tough!
Marie was finally learning she had to galvanize her emotions and disregard the unwarranted opinion of others. She was a bit outre, realized she could never fit into the “normal” social groups, but needed some place to feel accepted.
A murky choice to appeal to the other so-named weirdos–they also might choose to ridicule her. There was no real comparison to her in the grid of high school cliques. She decided the best way to find out was to repair to the science lab and present a staunch presence. Fist bumping bullies be damned!

Aftermath at the hospital—
I’m telling you, I read the badge!
What badge?
The one he was wearing! Joe winced as the nurse was finishing up the lengthy stitches in his arm.
I read it – “feed me!”.
The park ranger snorted. “Bears are a lot smarter than you think—scratched off “Don’t”.

The ancient tome promised. I read it over and over just to make sure. All ingredients sat before me, all used with care and precision. What more could I have done?
The curse remains.

Shadowed images
Memories of what occurred
Stirred in the sunlight
It wasn’t really your fault
Though I miss your warming smile.

October looming
Watchful specter hanging still
Haphazardly dressed
Coming to life as you pass
Run on quickly, scavengers.

Bent low to reach you
Catching your secret whisper
Forest streams converse

Yup, I’ve got one….people moving onto the second floor who have large dogs and run and play with them all night. Yes, folks I have a new upstairs neighbor with a big dog. Playing wouldn’t peeve me as much as its barking. Yesterday after a big play session, the dog was left alone and never stopped barking. Even headphones couldn’t stop me from hearing it. At one in the morning, can’t you take your dog outside to play? Ever heard of dog parks, or walking your dog? Yikes. If this continues I’ll be forced to make a complaint. I’ll give it a week or two and then I’m done.

Keep on talking
You’re quite verbose
Not realizing
The words you chose
Would dig you deeper
Reveal yourself
We now see
You’re not a keeper
Keep on tweeting
Private thoughts
Opening our eyes
To what you’re not
Just keep on
Then we’ll all see
What a disgusting
Presidency.
