December Dodoitsu #15

how many snowflakes does a
heart make, to catch my eye this
wintry night, reminding me
that love’s everywhere

It is a known fact to anyone who knows me that if there is a scattering of rocks, I can be found in the middle of them searching for the heart shaped ones. Over the years I have found hundreds of them. And I have also been known to give them away in hopes to brighten someone’s day. These are no ordinary rocks you see. They’ve been battered and chiseled, losing parts of themselves to become that familar shape, a heart, a symbol of love. I found my first one when I needed it most. I’ll never forget how it made me feel. I’ll never forget how I felt when I gave that precious lump of limestone away to someone who needed it more than me. I find them everywhere now. Heart shaped rocks, seashells, leaves, flower petals, and sometimes, clumps of snow. It helps me to remember what matters most. It reminds me I’m never alone. Love is everywhere you know. Peace to you ❤️

Fine Print

a proprietary fact…
you’ve signed away every drop
of your blood and sweat in inc,
for perks like healthcare

his dark eyes can pierce my soul
his kisses, oh, they make me swoon
lulling me to sleep, we spoon
soft snores, puppy breath

Uh, yes, I sleep with this big lump. 175 lbs of love! 🐾 Maxwell, English Mastiff. #DOG is my co-pilot! 😉

“Office Politics”

watch your back, mind your business
ears are everywhere, beware
choose your comments carefully
nose to the grind stone

You may have noticed that I am alternating themes this month. A Dodoitsu is a 4-line poem with syllable count 7-7-7-5 and is written about love or work. Today is a work day. I keep my resumé fresh. That’s all I’m going to say about that! 😳😎😳

baby wisps of hair on skin,
glowing, backlit by the sun
the scent of musk, partial smiles…
things that stir my soul
