Before sunrise I
awake and warm the iron
to start the day's work.
How much I hate being told;
how firm I am when it's me.

No wind could ever
chill a heart filled with the warmth
of good fellowship;
Strangers are only strangers
If we let them remain so.

glass chimes and empty plates
great company all around
a quiet hallway
filled with happy memories
these are the treasures i keep

One dreamed of becoming somebody. Another remained awake and became. (Found in a fortune cookie.)

The day's duties done,
It is time to douse the lights
And seek a warm bed.
Perhaps tomorrow will bring
A new adventure or two.

For a change I sleep
soundly and through the whole night.
Well rested, I wake
and greet the new day calmly.
Snow frosts the world. Coffee warms.

"No More!" he shouted
Against the certain coming
of oblivion
A single reed is broken
While a baker's dozen stands.

Oops, miscounted a line. 11/24/13 Against the pre-dawn sky a star falls behind the trees. Breath clouds the cold air. Frost silver-gilds the grasses. A welcome moment of peace. |

Lo these many months
We banded together to
Protect our Princess.
A reign ends, a reign begins,
And there is mending to do.

sunset blinds ablaze
mountains rolling curving still
sweet views surround me
atop a peak I breathe deep
watching the sky melt to blue

Month's end approaches.
No more blank Monday pages.
The last Sunday done.
I've failed this time, but come far.
This challenge month's start recedes.

Heaven's rosy cheeks
Blush upon the horizon,
Timidly waking.
Gently lifting the curtain
The sun rolls back the cold night.

Downstairs the clock chimes,
Telling me to seek my bed.
Yet here I still sit.
Inspiration fails to strike
As I struggle with these lines.

Snow coats the grass and
hangs from the overhead wires.
Good thing I brought some
work home with me yesterday.
I can work here, and stay home.

Gray clouds promised snow,
and in big crystal flakes the
snow came as promised.
Beneath the street lamp's yellow
beam, the snowflake shadows dance.

Outside an old hut
Where salt fires are burning
An old woman sits.
How many of our stories
Will never again be told?
