so dope
groovy, cinema
& cool
bee’s knees
cat’s meow
sick, stellar
awesome & wow
eons of ways
to say just how much
I’m really digging
this fantabulous
October day

so dope

bee’s knees
cat’s meow
sick, stellar
awesome & wow
eons of ways
to say just how much
I’m really digging
this fantabulous
October day
SO tired and weary and distressed by the utter chaos, hatred, pettiness, poison, misinformation, un-American-ness and division of this regime.
Sorry.
Just HAD to vent…
sheath of fog
mists Lake Colchester —
terraced hills,
barely discernible
in the just beyond

Coco protects Mommy
he scares the bad guys away
so Mommy can drink her tea
in peace, so she can quietly journal
and read her poetry
in the soothing sunrays of an October morning.
curdled milk, ropey eggs
food expiry dates, a year in arrears
demented brains, atrophied limbs
vision, like minds, cloudy and blurred
this house no longer holds
change is required
difficult but necessary
little tragedies
taking place
nearly every day

early a.m.
quiet in the darkness
wind starts
to percolate
another breezy one in store
football on the TV
husband & I
tag-team a Halloween
jigsaw puzzle
puppy in submissive mode
rub my belly, please!
leftover Thai for lunch
fresh-baked Snickerdoodles,
sweet afterthought
it’s how the day goes
sometimes
nothing much
but actually, there’s
a whole lotta there,
there, too
it’s called love
and comfort,
sunshine
and warmth,
gratitude
that pretty much
encompasses
everything,
no questions
asked


today, continued warm temperatures
but tomorrow, southerly winds begin to blow
a little rain & cooler, crisper air soon to follow
so long summer; hello autumn loveliness!
