phone fun

Typing poetry 
in droid technology 

If there is a typo 
I will give an apology 

Trying out the toy
 to work out the kinks  

Not quite right 
 but I cant say it stinks 

My holiday away 
I can continue to play

As soon as i figure out 
how to make it all stay

Past, Present, Future

It's hard to stay in the present
when the past is determined to find you
It's as if every step you take
it over takes you by two.

What are you supposed to do
when you let it go but it holds on to you?
How do you get away
when you leave but it's determined to stay?

It's hard to find the future path
when the road block of yesterday
lasts and lasts.

Redirected focus and Flash
change direction and crash
Walked headlong into a blast from the past.

Is there something I need to see?
Is there a reason it's following me?
Is there a lesson yet to learn?
If so teach me so I can turn
my  different corner and be free.

Keep climbing
Keep going
Keep growing
Knowing
One day
yesterday
will leave
and
tomorrow
will be free
to be
the future
you know it can be.

Working for Vacation

Here's another day
Working for a little pay
So very tired

Vacation awaits
It's just a matter of days
Hurry, Hurry, Please!

When summer begins
Stressful reality ends
Bring on summer friends.

Lazy summer days
Concerts, museums and plays
Life's a purple haze

How Do You Know?

How do you know
when you say "No"
That your answer
wasn't meant to be yes?

Is it so hard to recognize
The one who brings out your best?

When do you know
I mean truly know
You've picked right though
Or is it all really just a test?

Some say in an instant
Others it's an instinct
Which one passes?
Which one lasts?

How do you know
when you say "Yes"
That your answer
wasn't meant to be no?

Why is it so hard to recognize
The one who brings out your best?

When do you know
I mean truly know
You've picked right though
Or is it all really just a test?

Some say in an instant
Others it's an instinct
Which one passes?
Which one lasts?


How do you know?
When do you know?
I mean truly know.
Or is it all just a test?

Now It's June

Green Lights
Yellow Bird
Black Keys
Not a word

Sprinklers Spray
Waning Moon
Trumpets Play
Now it's June

Lights Flicker
Sounds Fade
Toes Flex
Yawns are Made

Wind Blows
Horns Blare
Doors Close
And I'm there

Monday Morning

Woke up exhausted from over sleeping
Woke up aware that it begins again
Woke up feeling it's too soon to be here
Woke up knowing it must be done

Monday morning's rarely exciting
Monday Mornings tend to drone on
Monday Morning my system is fighting
Monday Morning where it all can go wrong


Woke up feeling it's too soon to be here
Woke up knowing it must be done
Monday Morning my system is fighting
Monday Morning where it all can go wrong

Chaos for 18 Points

I'll take chaos for 18 points
It seems to be a game
Everything running smoothly
but then it all will change

Interrupted by reality
confused by the facts
trying a different personality
just to see who will react


I'll take chaos for 18 points
It seems to be a game
Everything running smoothly
but then it all will change

The merry merry month of May
gives way to June gloom
Should be floating fast and free
instead of stranded on the moon



I'll take chaos for 18 points
It seems to be a game
Everything running smoothly
but then it all will change

That's life is what Frank Sinatra would say
I will have to agree
constant chaos challenges me
But there's nowhere else I'd rather be.
