Wouldn’t you just like to turn back the hands?
Our palms spilling over with bounty and love only dreamt of
Unlimited care, health, comfort, inspiration for all, not some
Not what the masses have embraced:
Divisiveness, threats, ignorance
Slow violence through privation

If at first you don’t succeed
Play a tune upon the reed.
Add an extra dash or two
Of lemon pepper, mountain dew.
If that didn’t work the way you wished
Dump it out and then…go fish.

Why Not?

Feeling blocked and threatened? It’s right there, in our hands, the answer we used to believe in. Not big things, but small. Let it begin with me…

WHY NOT?

When we gaze ahead
Haze occludes our safe passage
You’re the magic key

Now is the moment
Open our eyes and our hearts
Time waits for no one

I could pick up the pace, pack my portfolio with poor-to-middling products. But I’m feeling peckish, so will instead toast some bread and fill its pocks with creamy butter. Delay the puck of promise, a hockey shot to the gut that reminds me: I swore to write every day this month on these prompted challenges.

One-Liner Wednesday: Be Colorful

Be Colorful

My li’l rebellious self
Chooses colors of the nose
Instead of focusing on the eyes
I offer you instead
Perfumes of butter, brown sugar,
Eggs and flour
Sourdough bananas
Cinnamon Nutmeg and Honey
Chocolate cranberries pecans
Slow baking and sensual
Close your eyes and inhale
Warm from my oven
To your palate
