Poetry

What I say now

affects the decisions

being made tomorrow?

Yes I filled out the survey.

No, my future voice

may have changed.

But today I know

I do not want

to keep talking to you!

In the cafes

Walking down the streets

Sitting at the bus stops

Friendly and purring

Food left out on corners

Tourist attraction?

They sell mugs of the Greek Cats!

Back to the Daily Grind

The Routine broken

by the holidays.

Vacation is over.

Time to start

First things first

No playtime until

all the chores are done.

Sigh, I’m the adult

not the child

and this is so hard for me too!

When did we turn into Alicorns?

The story goes back

way back into the far

reaches of history.

Back when we lived on Earth.

The mythical planet.

The greenest of blues.

Until it started to die.

The Pegasus Prince was born.

And it was he who brought us here.

He revealed the magic.

He found his queen

The beautiful Unicorn.

Their children are those we call

Alicorn.

My back is sore.

Slept on it wrong?

Kitten wants to play.

The toy barely moves.

Pain slows me down.

Old is not the new youth!

What is the temperature

of too cold?

Is it hat and scarf weather?

Layers of warm sweaters?

Parka zipped up

with nothing but eyes barely seen?

Why then does my cat

want to sit and outside and freeze?

The dance is done.

The game is over.

Did someone win?

Does it matter?

The greatest movement

is played by the winds

Singing in the concert halls

As I make my way to the river.

How do I change memory?

To make a habit stop?

Learn behaviors are ingrained

but they are not who I am!

Powerful determination

and my will

The old patterns will stop!

That is my resolution!

The normalcy of the routine

Boring

so tiring

After the excitement

of seeing new things

It is redundant

and calming

Expectations known

Yet desires still

to be explored.

Vacation is over

The kids are home as well

The time away from home

was a beautiful experience

Now I must grind away

The job calls

The kids demand

The friends phone

All in all

Life is good
