Inspiration strikes.
Creativity explodes.
Chaos ensues.
Drudgery begins
when the inspiration
was someone else’s idea.

Changing the Light Bulb
From one bright idea to another.
Life is full of surprises.
Especially when you discover
you have no light to see them by!
I’m Stinky
Overripe smells
emanate from under the shoulders.
Bathing would feel so good.
Except I turned on the dishwasher
and so have a conundrum.
Do I take a shower with intermittent hot/cold spurts
or can I withstand the stench
until it is my turn to bathe?
Creative Fixings
The surreal beauty.
Accomplishment achieved.
Pride in what you do.
Inspired by others.
Leaning into strength.
Hiding from the sun
Curtains closed.
Doors shut tight.
Spring may be out there
but so are other people’s children.
Their taunting laughter
hurts my pounding head.
Word Mania
Word?
Mania?
What should I say?
Supercallafragalaicious
Um, yeah.
We don’t remember
Memory problems
Are usually laughed about.
Did I remember to turn off the oven?
The door was locked right?
Do you have your wallet?
So let me ask you something.
Can you remember who I am?
Making Art
Creativity.
It is good for the soul.
Joy is found in the little things.
Details only matter
if you choose to let them.
Perfection is not everything.
The finished work
is always beautiful.
Drop Out
What do you do
when your child
is a drop out?
Do you encourage them
to be whatever they want to be?
Do you express
your disappointment and anger?
Do you succumb
to the despair of being a failed parent?
Or do you try to continue
to figure out the best things
for both of you?
If I could write a book
If I could write a book
it would mean I believed in myself.
If I could write a nook
it would show those who had no faith in me.
If I could write a book
it would mean I did what I dreamed of.
If I could write a book
I would be happy.
If I could write a book
and people liked it
is something I still dream of.
