Bird feeder set up
for winter’s freezing days —
where’s the clientele?

Here's one for #Wednesday

Waiting for the snow
to tumble down from heaven —
pillow fight with God

I’ve always worn big shoes, with room to spare.

"Self Aware"

In the grand design,
This life has been pretty good:
Lousy poetry!

SMILEFRACTURE — a study in polished ruin

Smiling, even when the paint peels —
not for hope,
but for the brief illusion of endurance.

wrapped up tight
placed high on a shelf
teasing
tempting
a #brownie
more power than wealth
mind battle between
me and self
at midnight
I crept
climbed up on a stool
quiet like a mouse
gobbled it down
with warm chocolate milk
