Children of Today
Seeds of doubt, seeds of hate,
Overshadowing seeds of hope and discovery
Planted in toddlers to persuade them
Of beliefs visited upon you by previous generations
Their innocence betrayed for your desired future
The open minds thirsting for knowledge-
Blank canvasses for your paint

The piquant cherry blossoms exhumed from the tree branches on this warm spring Friday. The park was alive with young girls and you could almost feel the insecure masculine preteens, their eyes in awe as they chased the girls in silly games, hoping for a touch, but never admitting it was their goal. Spring, puppy love, and a playground full of new adventure.

“I’m not one to judge, sonny, but if I were you, I’d stop being a brooding brute. You’re no longer the apple of anyone’s eye, especially where your still hopeful parents are concerned. I can however offer some advice as a former bully in my younger years. My endless flight to find unconditional love but not getting it, became a fuel for my meanness. It was only after years of disappointment I realized it had to begin with me. If you need a helping hand, I’m here to offer it to you.”

Trying to keep my blog traffic going
Taking a glimpse
But not really knowing
The aspects of new rules and changes
Seems like my words are all rearranged
Photos and images are a bit wonky
Makes me look like a well known donkey
Discouraging as it is to write
It’s now become a habitual light
Thanks to all you offering your words
Even if the rules are at times absurd.

Their union would be joyful, everyone was sure
Especially when Mrs. Jones offered up her cure
Her reputation didn’t keep her from joining in
Placing her own concoction in the lime punch added gin
No one knew her wayward past, or what was done to her
Wedding occasions were required for her mission to secure
No grooms or brides she sought would ever suffer her sad fate
When she added her special secret potion to their plates.

One last sigh
Remembering you
Love so past

A well paced auger may lay the foundation for a garden wall, but the drought of the climate augurs any hope of a reward of flower leis.
