The Bag Lady

Remember the old days when there was a race?

All the biggies wanted to be first in space?

Now you can ride up to the edge and float

In a small capsule, your heart in your throat…

Every country wants to make spacial😉homes

Me, I like watching from an observatory dome.

By the Beautiful Sea . . . .

Summer sun I miss your heat

Autumn sun has cooler heat

Flowers nodding in cold rain

Geese flying to a new reign

Crows alighting scarecrow forms

October ghosts return to their norms

Crops of pumpkins start to flourish

While tomatoes no longer nourished

Bright vivid blooms start fading

Greener grasses now degrading

As leaf showers fall into piles

Causing jumping children’s smiles

No longer swimming in a pool

Time to return to school

There’s a sadness in the air

When one season to new compared.

Love bloomed at the homecoming dance. The couple, Joe and Mary ended up in a parked car after the dance ended. It was very late. Joe’s dad came up to their car window and said, “Joe, it’s time to come home.” Joe left without argument, took Mary home. Mary’s mom fretting at home, yanked her daughter out of the car and took her inside.

Joe’s dad thought of his young life and acted accordingly. Mary’s mother did the same.

“I am haunted by how much our mothers do not know.” I think parents’ own experiences determine what they even want to know and visit them on their children.

Laughing Along With A Limerick

Her breath came quickly, too fast, a problem she never licked. Even as a child, if she was frightened, her chest got tight, and breathing difficult. She went to the kitchen and fixed a cup of hot strong tea. She felt his presence as he came to her again in a whispering voice. There seemed to be no escape from the cruel words, making the sorrow deepen. Julie finally decided to visit the gravesite that night. She brushed away the dust from her gown, and spoke to the buried man. “I loved you John, but you keep coming back to me, setting my mind in a spin. Why torture me like this? The accident was your fault and I almost died in that river too! Please leave me alone and accept your final rest.”
