Long Haired Cat
comes in for cuddles.
She gets all content
and then demands the loving.
Smooshing her face against yours
showing her affection
and sometimes,
sometimes when she is perfectly content
she will lie on your face
as a show of her trust and love.
Furniture should be old.
Antiques and collectables are nice to look at and enjoy.
As we grow older certain things grow more valuable.
Such as time with loved ones.
Life’s simpler pleasures.
A family memoir or heirloom.
The opportunities still ahead.
The chances to make mistakes and still live on.
Being capable of thought and feelings.
Communicating with others.
And just being alive.
Unlike the salad whose leafy corpse fuels our day with its energy!
The detergent is great
but the colours seem wonky.
Where did the caps all go?
Are we forced to wear this small shirt?
It must be the laundry machine.
The user is never at fault!
Damned if you don’t.
Damned either way.
No good choices.
Yet, you will survive
and hopefully
another day
the choices
won’t damn you!
When the urge strikes
and you have the puff pastry ready
you turn the oven on to be heated
anticipating the delicious confection to be baked.
While the smells fill the kitchen
jams and spreads are brought to the table.
Somedays you can create your own little slice of heaven.
I got it!
Sometimes careful deliberation
Only leads to confusion.
You must be willing to try something different,
Even if it looks impossible.
Careful measurements can be used
Especially in any building construction.
But a road trip?
Leave it me
And my amazing intuition!
So simple.
So delicious.
With or without chocolate chips.
Zucchini added in is tasty.
Now I want more.
The sensation of not rightness.
Should be but not.
What else could it be?
Uncertainity should not be in this equation.
Yet, there is an underlying sense of doubt.
Fear stands in my way.
Striped socks.
Yoga capris.
Nice crisp white shirt.
Long white Cardigan.
Comfortable grey shoes.
Workout or business meeting?
Couldn’t decide?
Blame the youngest for your lack of sleep
and the incongruent dress up.
Our buddy went outside
In the April snow.
It is funny to see him
walk prancing around
before finding a softer patch of ground
to do his business on.
He cleans off his paws
when he comes in.
Then demands love and attention
but he is still wet from
freshly falling snow
making us laugh when we pet him.
