Time
Time is such a mystery;A single minute that drags on for hours;An hour that disappears in the blink of an eye.Never having enough time; or,Having too much time at hand.Making the most of the time available; or,Wasting time in not knowing what else to do with it.Time that heals all wounds; or,Time that allows woundsContinue reading “Time”
Surrounded by Sea
Surrounded by sea;Is the place for me.I sit on my dock; On a chair I do rock;And stare to the west;To watch the sunset.I hear some fish jump;And feel the waves bump;While I sit there alone;Watch the boats head for home.As the sky turns to ink;The stars there do wink;And the sea transforms black;As itsContinue reading “Surrounded by Sea”
Where Is The Wonder?
Where is the wonder?The experiences that result in awe.The childlike joy of discovery.Amazing new places; sights unseen.Curious people watching for endless entertainment.Now I feel I’ve seen it all before;This place, that person.This day and the other running together.I go here and there;Do this and that;Yet, the wonder eludes me.
Inevitable
Too late to retreat.The trajectory is clear.Nature will prevail.

Writing Dilemma
Boredom reared its ugly head,So I decided to write instead,Of letting myself come undone;And thus resulted in Chapter One.Then life tossed so much my way,Tasks and commitments every day;I find I have too much to do;How will I ever write Chapter Two?
The Happy Pumpkin
There was a happy pumpkin,Until it got to school,And found it left its homework,At home atop a stool. There was a sad pumpkin,Sitting in its chair,Hoping that the teacher,Would forget that it was there. There was a surprised pumpkinWhen its mom showed up in styleAnd handed it its homeworkWith a wink and a smile. ThereContinue reading “The Happy Pumpkin”
Can I be?
Can I be a pigeon,or a gull on the beach?Circling the tourists,yet just out of reach.Hoping for scraps,they’ll toss out my way,or a dropped sandwich,will make a great day.Can I be a pigeon,or gull on the shore?Digging up clams,and searching for more.The life of a shore bird,is the life for me;So long as the toddlers,willContinue reading “Can I be?”
