You left an impression,
One I can’t quite get over.
I walk miles in our footsteps
Over hill and dale, in sun and shower,
Arms locked tight about myself,
Holding you close.
Turning Clock Wise
Poetry
Beautiful Yes
When you can dance and write at the same time!
Bring on the warm season, arising from the cold.
Mud Sweat
A little ‘fridge poetry to welcome the Spring (and yes, it’s driving me bazoinkers that ‘marriage’ is misspelled).

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.
Be Kind, Rewind
(freeform and prosy
future’s not lookin’ rosy
I struggle to rhyme)
Be Kind, Rewind
We don’t exactly know when the Great Clock stopped,
But we could’ve had a sense of the pendulum’s swing faltering,
Except that everything went digital and we lost ourselves.
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
