Who will be the one to remedy the mess we have gotten into? What is the answer to end this dilemma? When can we expect a change? Where are we going continuing this sad, hateful path? Why is there so much apathy in the world? I have no answers.

C for cats–unfortunately for me since I’m a dog person. I’ve had cats, lots of them since I lived on a dairy farm and anyone who had unwanted kittens dropped them off in our driveway.
Luckily we had a woodshed with barrels full of old clothing, rags, etc and they would make a home there. Only one cat was allowed inside the house, a tricolored mother cat. My dislike of cats came at an early age when she attacked and ate our pet parakeet.
As an adult our family had three cats, a mother cat similar to the one from my past and two sweet kitties. All animals came from the Dumb Friends League in Denver. They moved to Texas with us and I still miss them and the two dogs we had.

The tower bell chimes
Reminds us of times
When ships came ashore
In days of yore
To bring new spices
Or new devices
Alas those days
Are in a haze
The sea is silky
The horizon milky
The once green cliffs
Have become a mist
Of brambles and blackened bushes
No more are there baskets of fishes
No more the clean white stone
Where fishing nets were thrown
And bags of treasures shown
Even all the gulls have flown.

George was a wordsmith, everyone knew
But today no words from his lips flew
His patience reaching an unfortunate end
As his wife showed her flamfoo when attempting to bend.
It wasn’t just George who noticed her slight
The other men too, took in the sight
She realized what happened and briskly stood up
Was pink faced to George like a guilty pup
She planned the garment as a surprise to George
But the talkative husband found words wouldn’t disgorge.

B is for books and I made the mistake of going to Barnes and Noble with the family yesterday. I bought three books for myself and am halfway through the first one, “The Girls in the Stilt House” by Kelly Mustian. I spied the cover as I was rolling by and it jumped out at me. Now I know why!

The arrow flew
But proved untrue
Target immaculate
But bowman inaccurate
A prankster faulted
Was summarily vaulted.

Sparkling in the sun, I enjoy your visit on my lawn. However temporary your stay, please know how delighted I am by your presence. A gathering of such distinctive individualized crystals, all shaped and patterned differently by Mother Nature’s wisdom. How does she perform such a miracle for us? I doubt we’ll ever know all of her secrets. Scientists with learned minds from different eras study you in their laboratories trying to explain to us why you exist as such unique creatures, but they are only guessing. How can they possibly decipher the ins and outs of such beauty?

What extreme pleasure
Derived from this sheltered space
Lay among the leaves
