Blue moon Monday
They say it’s Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year. My eyes have been dragging all day long; I wonder if it could have something to do with that. More than likely it’s related to my lack of sleep over the past few nights. I should’ve slept, there was no reason why not, but…

January 14th
Another Monday almost gone sitting at a red light, I consider the dawn. Thoughts are spinning in my head, of things I did, and things I said. The weekends once again a blur At least this time I thought of her. The her I mean is me, myself The one who comes after everyone else.…

Wintery Wednesday
Winter has arrived With semi trucks jackknifed On my way to work I drive my Prius with summer tires And wait for the other shoe to drop. But the sky is startlingly blue And the sun shines so bright It feels like yesterday when the snow finally melted and let the grass grow Yet here…

Summer dreams of winter
Memories of fallen leaves Twisting at my feet Scraps of sunshine Not strong enough to heat Unbidden the winter falls all around As the plants die, And snow covers the ground The last, faint hold The summer has on the land As the days get shorter And fall takes its own stand It holds onto…
