what were you thinking
greatness is not
something to be made
on second thought
don’t tell me your thoughts
your actions speak louder

more young souls, lost
shedding the burden of flesh
barely worn from living
victims of insanity
and obstinate hoarders
of self-serving entitlement

For Jane Dougherty’s Daily Poem 42 Day 19. Today midst the joy of royal weddings and happy blogger gatherings, let us also remember that there are families mourning, their story dusted aside as yesterday’s news. And the insanity of my country rages on. 😊

i can tell
how luminous you are
in deep shades of green…
you must love the rain
luxuriating in cool wetness
while I contend with frizzy locks

42 Day 18 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Poem Challenge. Day 1 of this week’s rain was refreshing, along with a great relief due to the cold front that it pushed through. But today…three, or is it four? it’s a blur…days in, enough already. Everything is damp…my clothes, my hair, the air. What I wouldn’t give for a zero humidity sunny day. A girl can dream…
why the longing
never satisfied
ever striving
breathe…
everything you need
is here and now

Unaffected
I could lose myself
in the rain tapping on the window…plop…plop
mid-day drowsy, under fluorescent lights, strobing
I could, but I won’t
it has taken me far too long to find myself…
and this isn’t me…no, not by a long shot
