Re-tired and ready for the roads ahead. Poetry; Music; Art; Reading. Whatever brings me peace. I was born in a land, but my home was half a world away.

We have reached our forecasted high for today and it is only 9:00am. -5C/23F. Sitting in the grocery car park watching unreturned carts skittering away into the blizzard blown by a hard wind reminiscent of Bob Dylan

once there had been three
the retired couple and their
young pup chasing the stick
in the surf between waves
now only the two souls
rheumy eyes cast to horizon
ambling along the waters edge
accompanied by lapping
waves upon the beach . . .

bashful was in trouble again
sitting outside of the principal's office
scuffing the floor with his feet
he had made a joke in spelling class
which did not amuse his teacher miss victoria
so on principle here he now sat

it feels to me that those in opposition
especially politicians
do little more than whine and complain
about the ruling party
instead of offering solutions that just might
solve their issues
and more apparent in a party that has
weak leadership

i watch the sun
unspool the shadows

across frost encrusted cars
along the tarmacadam of road and drive
in a months times it will be
it's lowest in our winter sky
as it's flight peaks above
the imaginary tropic of
capricorrn

i didn't write this
at least when conscious
perhaps in sleep while unconscious
between the light and deep rem dreams
i scribbled furiously so that i might
remember on awakening what
so inspired such words alas
like a veil lifting with dawn
all was gone

“No! The Turkey ISN’T Done Yet!”
I made this inspired by 1950s sitcom moms, my love of vintage pulp art, and that trainwreck of horror and humor that is American Thanksgiving. :-)
