September Poem #7

heartless
self-absorbed fool
nothing is more important than
well, you know who, unless, of course…
right…there is no unless

September Poem #6

summer
relentless heat
endless days dogged by humid,
sweltering, torridity, but
global warming’s a hoax

Hush-A-Bye

Sarah knew that moments like this were precious. She didn’t mind the late nights, especially when the breeze was cool and the moon was full.

Holding her in her lap rocking was a peaceful time even on those nights when she was fussy and fretful. Sarah just kept rocking. Sometimes she would sing her favorite song to help her drift back to sleep. She slept more often these days. Her frail body eaten away by cancer.

Once upon a time ‘twas her mom who rocked her to sleep on nights like this.

“I love you mama. Close your eyes now.”

September Poem #5

deadlined
overloaded
soulless bottomline dwellers
crank the cogs to squeeze out a dime
crash coursing to burnout

So…how has your week been? Haha. I am getting much too old for corporate machinations interested only in keeping rich shareholders happy. Countdown to the weekend! 🙂

 


September Poem #4

big sky
cumulus blue
clustering puffs point to rain
or not; it’s hard to tell whether
we’re in for bad weather
