Unexpected Treat

Sleeping late

catching up on chores

enjoy the moment

have an extra snore

Lazy moments

luscious treats

A random experience

You just can't beat

A day off 

in the middle of

the week

How I love

this unexpected

treat.

That's My Story

I didn't do it.
It wasn't me.
I don't know
what you're talking about.

It never happened.
I can't recall.
I don't remember
those events at all.

That's my story
and I'm sticking to it
no matter how ridiculous
it may be.

Tradition of the Bread

Old bread

can become

a meaningful 

contribution

to your

general

well being.

Bread crumbs

End pieces

White

Sourdough

Rye

It doesn't matter

as long as 

you can 

make the 

pieces fly.

Cast them

adrift

filled with

past sins

Have them 

help you

to make

amends.

Start fresh

in the new 

year.

Wash away

 the past.

Make

inner changes

which 

hopefully

will last.

The Endeavor

Final voyage
Last mission
Farewell flight
Your latest exhibition

Fans wave and express
sheer delight
as you fly by
soaring low in the
LA sky

Cameras roll
faces smile
all enjoying
your last mile

Thanks for the
memories
the bold exploration
representing the
ingenuity
of this young nation

Note To Self

Note to self
that's what I say
to help me remember
about today

Note to self
a mental check
to remind me
not to forget

Note to self
a useful tool
the keeps from
appearing the fool

Beacon in the Night

It's as if a beacon in the night
calls them forth.
Seek her out now
for all it is right in her world.

How do they know to try?
For months I've left you
in she shadows of my mind
but your current happiness was a sign.

Remember ME?
Pay attention over here.
You can't have moved forward
I won't be ignored.

Too let my friends
too late are you
For as I shall inform you
Yes, onward and upward I move.

Seek her out now
for all is right in her world
Remember me?
Yes, and that gives me the strength
to stay on this course.

Distracted

Distracted by reality

Distracted by time and space

Distracted momentarily

Distracted is the pace

Distracted from reading

Distracted from writing

Distracted from eating

Distracted is exciting

Distracted from the day to day

Distracted from the humdrum

Distracted because I'm off to play

Distracted and then some

Distracted by reality

Distracted by time and space

Distracted temporarily

Distracted is the pace

I Am Me

I am me.
Who else could I be?
Of me I can only speak.

I am me.
Who else could I be?
My own answers are what I seek.

I am me.
Who else could I be?
My styles my own brand of chic.

I am me.
Who else could I be?
A personality that's never meek.

I am me.

Who else could I be?
There's no one quite as unique.

Too Early

Too early for
creative thinking
Time for some serious
hot tea drinking
My brain is fried
no use in thinking
It's way too early for
Creative thinking.

New Memories

Gingerbread houses on Carmelita

Walking on Sunset Strip 

Hidden parks

Fancy Hotels

Fountains that touch the sky

Rodeo Drive

Chocolate treats

Cool cups of citrus tea

Traffic at night

Wondrous sights

Creating new memories

Extremely Confusing Adjectives

Discombobulated
Simply addlepated
Redirected
disconnected
confounded and
undone

Extremely confusing adjectives
that keep me on the run.

Discombobulated
I never calculated
all the craziness that we could do.

Simply addlepated
How could I have equated
all the upheaval that my schedule would go through.


Redirected, disconnected, confounded
and undone
Good thing to me all this insanity
I simply see as fun!

Time Flies

Hours pass like minutes.
Days slip by in a heartbeat.
So many moments to remember
It's causing my brain major upkeep..
Time flies is an old expression
that never seemed more apropos.
The more of it we spend together
the faster it seems to go.

Great Together

Paying attention

to tiny details

Enjoying the silence

between events

Laughing at each others

eccentricities

Experiencing our

different personal realities

Appreciating the time

spent in your company

Giggling at messages

sent through technology

Late night conversations

that leave us both giddy

You said we're

Great together

I most definitely

agree.

I Like What I Like

I like grapes
but hate raisins.
I love bananas
but despise banana cream pie.
Ketchup is cool
but tomatoes are only okay.

It's not the same when in a different form
The taste and texture are no longer my norm
I like what I like and that makes me, me

I love camping on the beach
but can't stand the sand.
I'd rather stare at the ocean
but swim in a lake.
Hot tea is delicious
but ice tea leaves me cool.


It's not the same when in a different form
The taste and texture are no longer my norm
I like what I like and that makes me, me

If, If Only

If I knew what to write
I would write it
If I knew what to say
I would say it

If the thoughts that I have
could all get in line
I could organize them
in no amount of time


If I knew what to write
I would write it
If I knew what to say
I would say it


If the words worked it out
then there isn't a doubt
that creative comments
would come about


If I knew what to write
I would write it
If I knew what to say
I would say it

If my brain could maintain
lyrical laments
long enough for my pen
to paper I could commit

If I knew what to write

I would write it
If I knew what to say
I would say it



If, if only, if only
I knew what to say
If, if only the words would
come out and play

Three Day Weekend

Three day weekend has come and gone
It was three full days that didn't feel long
So many places, so many events, so much food
It doesn't make sense.

How did the days just slip away?
How did we get to today?
How did the hours just fly by?
How did it happen this way?

Next three day pass is not til November.
It'll take so long we'll barely remember
What it was like to have this much fun
I wish the weekend wasn't done.

Wouldn't it be great
if we could incorporate
a three day weekend every month?

A chance to celebrate
and  take a little break
from the realities that we live.


Three day weekend has come and gone
It was three full days that didn't feel long
How did the hours just fly by?'
I wish the weekend wasn't done.

Labor Day

Hip Hip Hurrah
It's Labor Day
an extra moment to
go out and play.

Party people
and delicious food
Beautiful weather
helps set the mood.

Last of the concerts
down by the sea
Time to make the best
of great company.

Enjoy this day set aside
for the work force
As reality will
set in in due course.


Hip Hip Hurrah
It's Labor Day
an extra moment to
go out and play.
