Mist rolls off the pond
Single column rising up
Flattened from above

I want to go home...
I want my time back.
I had a wonderful day yesterday...
I had a day off.
I spent all day making memories...
I spent all day with those I love.
I need more of that.

Two words,
calmly said.
"I wouldn't."
Line drawn
in stone.
the coward
halted instantly.
Grateful then...
Moreso now.
Manly example.
Not violent,
but willing,
when principle requires.

Retirement Fishing
our pond
tiny ripples
we drift
oblivious, into
the wire,
the pointless...
barbed wire.

draws attention.

Dad's hands
have become.

"It's an axolotl !!!"

She's 2... And correct

Pervasive stillness
Periwinkle sky, ringed with
Pink and purple clouds

Rudely interrupted

Today a little box of Phillips bits served as "canday" and a "room" full of little creatures.

Thrilled to have a change like this

His obnoxiousness
Is not a problem for me
That is his own problem

Despite distractions
My job is to retain calm
How else shall I be?

I have a minute
no better time than right now
To write poetry

Heat swells.
Far distant
Storm clouds
Loom large,
Move, morph.
While here
Nothing happens;
Dead still,
'cept bugs.
Corn flies
Flit by,
Break peace.

Corn flies crave swatting
One: not worth the energy
Dozens test my calm
