Poetry

Someday I’ll be famous!

I’ll win the lottery

and give it all away!

My personality will be winsome

and people will love me.

Gracious and lovely

I’ll grace all magazine covers!

Someday!

Do

or Do Not.

There is no try.

Yet we ask kids to try

all the time?

Who is wrong?

You can not do something

if you have not first tried it.

Sometimes it takes a few tries.

But practicing is all about trying

so do or not do

does not always work.

Though often our attempts

will be done or not done.

Especially when chores are involved!

Should I send my sick child to school?

Should I infect the other children

just so I can get some peace at home?

Should I keep the sick one home

and deal with the fact that they have energy?

Are they still contagious?

I go to work sick

but that’s because I need the money.

Adults do not get the luxury of staying home while sick.

So do I force reality upon my sick child

or indulge them and let them stay home?

All  know is I have no energy to fight the tantrum.

Not today.

Maybe tomorrow.

The sprouts have grown.

We will have to transplant soon.

The mother’s day gift is growing.

What a wonderful joy of life.

Let’s hope I can keep it alive!

What do you get for Mother’s day?

A phone call,

a house robe

or just a bouquet?

None of those are better

than the hug of a sick child.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Added inspiration to the lifeless.

Myths and Legends abound.

Quotes are given left and right

but the memes rule now!

 

Sugar Fly

Sugar Fly

Where do you roam?

I have no place

to call my home.

Fruit Fly

Fruit Fly

where do you go?

That’s an answer

I do not know.

Vampire Bat

Vampire Bat

Who do you see?

All the delectable bugs

for me to eat!

I can’t do it!

No!

You won’t make me do it!

What if I tried it

and don’t like it?!

What if you tried it

and you do like?

If you do not try

you will never know

if it is something

you like

or are even capable of!

Feelings of being overwhelmed.

Guilt at not doing more.

Options fading away.

Stress and anxiety building up.

More and more troubles surface.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I am supposed to get things done!

I have appointments!

My schedule says to get cleaning done!

Food needs to be cooked!

Personal Hygiene is important!

and I lay on the couch

sobbing and wondering how it will all get done!

It rained last night.

I made a cup of tea.

Sitting on the steps

listening to the city wake up

as I take a sip.

My cat sits beside me.

Some mornings are good.

I hope this one is one of them.
