day 332…a day delayed

News has been more ridiculous than usual as we watch the physical and cognitive decline of our self-proclaimed great leader. I have stopped saying it can’t get any worse, because, well, you know. But today’s (or I should say yesterday’s glimmer? (I did write most of this poem yesterday…we were just away wearing ugly sweaters and doing holiday schmoozing)…as I was saying…today’s glimmer is that maga folk are starting to wake up! I won’t gloat…or even say, “told you so” but I will write about it, because that’s what I do. 😊 who says the fall of democracy can’t be fun…well not fun exactly…but I do like a bit of sarcasm every now and then!

Much love, peace, and WOKE glimmers to you!

sycophant’s bawl

he’s been quite naked now for years
it’s true, the emperor’s insane
his court of dunces hail his name
with flattery most insincere

to anyone who sees, it’s clear,
the ugly truth, they have no shame
he’s been quite naked now for years
it’s true, the emperor’s insane

they sold their souls to profiteer
for promises of power, fame
but now they know who bears the blame
oh they were duped, fed lies and fear
he’s been quite naked now for years

btw…this poetry form is called the Rondel. 

A French form consisting of 13 lines: two quatrains and a quintet, rhyming as follows: ABba abAB abbaA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats.

day 325

I’m forswunke
.
joy
in the moment
peace
amidst the chaos
it’s about being with family
each year
a time for connection
to come together
in one place
a snapshot in time

Today’s grandiloquent word of the day captures my extended weekend. My four daughters and their respective families and us get together every year the day after Thanksgiving to celebrate all of the winter holidays together. This year was hosted a half day’s drive by car away, so the trip required an overnight stay. It was a wonderful time. I loved seeing everyone.

But getting everyone packed, loaded and unpacked is quite a job. And I am exhausted…or rather forswunke – Grandiloquent’s Word of the Day for today…how ever did they know?

Actually, I think the holidays and all the festivities we try to fit in every year actually is over the top. Beginning in October and ending with the drop of the ball in Times Square on New Year’s Eve into New Year’s Day, we Americans holiday ourselves to exhaustion because…uh, because…well because it’s tradition. And as forswunke as I feel in the midst of it, and in the aftermath, it is also a treasure to me, because family is everything.

For a brief few hours we were all together and safe and happy. For a brief few hours nothing existed but my family. Tomorrow is Monday and the chaos of the world will roar back into view, but at least I had this brief holiday to remind me of what is good and lovely in my life. It will keep me through the coming winter while illustrating exactly why I will continue to fight for kindness, compassion, peace and justice for everyone. It’s worth fighting for.

Happy Holidays to you and yours. If these sound like fighting words to you, well bless your heart. We may not all celebrate this season the same way but the most important thing is that we are surrounded by those we love when we do.

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

Leaving you with photos of the latest critter to venture on to our tiny oasis…Einstein. Yet another tiny soul who gives me purpose. And my glimmer for today. ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨


day 294

asking for a friend

dear god,
I get it
I do…but
I was so hoping
the rapture was
a thing … … I waited
all day, but they are
STILL HERE!

Fun with Magnetic Poetry Online ~ The Poet Kit

The bucks wandered through the yard this morning. What a glimmer that was…and is!!!

Much love, peace, hope, and glimmers to you!

day 265

after-rain

spent storm clouds disburse
skies blush amber-red at dusk
mist floats through the hills

For your glimmer today…a bit of humor using the photo I took of the western lawn this evening. IYKYK…☺️

Much love, peace, and comic relief glimmers after a crazy day. ~kat ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨

another rapture, another disappointing dose of reality. They’re all still here!

day 210

lunacy in lala-land

Not to brag
Or anything…
Really, it’s true
Most days i am
Absolutely, unquestionably
Lucid as a dryer setting
Crazy isn’t it?
You’d never know

If I didn’t tell you!
Sometimes I surprise myself

Obviously, it’s clear as swamp water
Vanilla is my favorite flavor
Everything I do is
Rather boring, common even
Reality is my kick
And if you don’t believe me
Take a look around and you’ll see
Everybody else is looney tunes insane
Daffy as the day the don dubbed them magats

Every now and again I like to have a little fun. It breaks the tension of unending annihilation, lawlessness, and destruction. Even a bleeding heart like me can only take so much before losing it…we’re talking hysterical unwarranted laughter over nothing, until my sides hurt and there are tears running down my thighs. IYKYK… it sucks getting old. 

Anyhoo, even on my craziest, unhinged days, they got me beat. You can’t make up some of the ludicrous things they think, and actually believe. I suppose I should be thanking the walking dead to reality folks. They make me look positively sane, even on my most insane moments. It’s all relative…in 50 shades of cray…cray.

This morning I was greeted by several deer folk. They’re my glimmers for today. They watch me and appear to wonder just who or what I am…what they don’t know is I am wondering the same thing! 

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you.

And then there was this…the view from my pocket as my camera kept snapping once deposited there. It’s finally the proof I need…I have stardust in my pockets! Weird…right?!
