A well meaning fisherman
his hat on backwards wears
so no hook has what to catch
as he fishes and swears
that to catch a fish
is all that he cares.

Passing
Intrigued, looking in the
passage way
Two women startled
conversation suspended
Passing

To forgive is not
to forget, deny or look the
other way. To forgive is to acknowledge, let go and move
on with life. The past cannot be
changed. It happened as it did
then one must move on in order
to live.

To forgive does not mean to
go back the way it was. It means
to move ahead with those that
you love.

To take the good and leave the
foolish behind.  It is part of
moving on and understanding
the intent of what had happened
and what it meant.

Time and reflection on the
nature of forgiveness can
only open a window to the soul.

It is an opportunity to smooth
out the creases and let our
life unfold.

As absurd as this may seem
I opened up my brain and this
thought came flying in
Wink
Wink with my right eye and
not with my left
The child object of my train of thought
winked back with the right eye and not with the left
It happened so quick I thought it was a trick
Hmm perhaps she was just waiting
Who knew
I winked she winked
Then the question presented itself in my brain with a flash
Is is easier to wink with your right eye
if you are a righty    OR
Is it is easier to wink with your left eye
if you are a lefty

I dissolve myself of any and all responsibility if you should choose to try this in front of a mirror….

(for all those expecting a poem this is
not one….it is merely a rain drizzling of thought)

Shiny chestnut coats
Soft noses snuffling
Manes flying in the air
shaking the flies away
throaty
snickering
munching hay.

If you have ever seen a dust bunny
You know they are cute as cute can be
That is why I let them come and live with me.
They are so warm and fuzzy even if
they have no ears or wiggly nose

And if they start to multiply too fast
you just suck them up every 6 months
through the vacumn cleaner hose

They like to hide in corners and underneath
the bed.  My favorite one has gotten quite large
and yes his name is Fred.

The best part is that they require no attention
They are maintenance free

But don’t tell anybody this
is just between you and me.

Because of course then everyboddy
will want one and there will be none
left and then we will have to import
them for a fee.

I was born with knees like door knobs.They are the knobbiest knees no one has the privilege to see because I keep them covered up shocking as that may be……I was tired of people knocking and in disappointment slamming the door to me.

I have knees like door knobs and even if I go to the beach hidden shall they be.

They came into my house
Those Dangerous Donuts from D&D
They knocked very softly and said
“Pretty please, we’d like to sit on your counter .We will be the quietest
donuts that you will ever encounter.”
“Quiet indeed ,”I said as I invited them in
and popped them into my mouth like the
Walrus and his Oysters of Alice (Lewis
Carroll’s dear friend…)
Finishing them all off I licked my lips and said with a grin “the pleasure is mine
please come back with more the next time and I will be sure
to let you  back in!”

The whatevers never get you
whereever ,whenever, however
you need to be
It is just another form of procrastination
that keeps you from going where you
will clearly see

It is characterized by a shoulder
shrug and can be dismissed as
a gesture that is fairly benign
But it really takes a pro to read
between the lines.

It is the same as I dunno,
I am dodo or sure beats
me.  Clear as mud means
brain molecules have stopped
their working, on vacation so to
speak….on vacation and won’t
be available or thinking for at least
a week (or even more if the “Whatevers”
come to stay)

Whatevers are a good way to end
a conversation that has no end in sight
gently drifting off to sleep without

saying

G’nite

and leaving someone else to turn off the light

Whatever……

Rock behemoth
shaded by the quiet green
of the bough
resting on the grass

As the evening draws near
Starts to stir

In night’s darkness
stretches it’s ponderous legs
around the field

and then lies down again
waiting for the dawn and
the quiet green of the day
