Day 15 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. March is roaring like a lion as blustery gales whip the blossom heavy branches of trees outside my window at work. Resilient little buds, those cherry blossoms! They’re hanging on!


Essence #14

melted snow, muddy swamp
where my dogs go to romp 😫

Day 14 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge. My poor hardwood floors…and don’t even ask me about the furniture!!! 😮


Essence #13

winter stings budding trees
soon comes spring’s balmy breeze

Essence #12

snow storm, don’t lose your head
fools swarm for milk and bread

Update: Got an alert on my phone this morning. Office closed. Work from home…it’s brutal out there…

Essence #11

time lost, save daylight’s sweep
what I crave is more sleep

This is day 11 of Jane Dougherty’s Daily Essence Poem Challenge.

So…I am not a fan of Daylight Savings Time, especially in Spring. Nature’s got this, you know. She doesn’t need our help! The days are actually getting longer. I’m going to need a nap today to make up for the hour of sleep I lost this morning and to help me stay up an hour later tonight in order to wake up an hour earlier tomorrow morning so I’m not late for work. Way to keep us depressingly oppressed government officials who think this is a good idea! Haha! I jest, of course. It’s silly law I think. I found this little meme that expresses the lunacy of daylight savings time perfectly! 🤪
