quiet rain falling
it takes hours for the driveway
to become a pond

A old woman with too much red ink
Spilled some paint and rushed off to the sink.
But the stains were severe
And removal costs dear.
You might say she was NOT #tickled pink.

My grasp of #geography's weak,
And I'm far from a #history geek.
Key events? Barely knew 'em
Unless I lived through 'em.
Ask me WHEN something happened? I freak!

It is the law and it is the law and it is the law. Enormous bird. Ugly wet embryonic. If you bury it. It will cry. You cannot. It wants to be held. You cannot. You put it inside grandma's shoebox. On TV they set themselves on fire. You will not you will not you will not.

A bright, silent, Sunday morning, hardly any traffic noise, but no birdsong either. Perhaps just November, or... no! I find binoculars and identify a visitor relaxing mid-migration . . .
birds fall silent --
a falcon, peregrine, preens
atop the pine

In the wee small hours
returns the bipolar ghost,
like fear of winter,
of walking again - once more -
recovery's long hard road.

The true war, is not between nations; though their conflicts, oft serve as battlefronts.
In every heart, empires grapple; in campaigns older, than long-vanished Sumer.
Our lone foe, dwells in the darkness of the soul; all worldly tyrants, but bear its flag.

Dying holds, little romance; though many proclaim, they’d die for love.
A noble death, rarely takes long; the full devotion, is to live with duty.
Life is not, confined to its endpoints; the true heart guides, the path between.
