I meant to have more fun,
but life detained me -
captured me with bars,
of melodious children,
playing 'catch me if you can'.
Montage days were filled,
with ice cream . . .

Autumns' Sun in golden haze,
Shines out on shorter days,
Lengthened shadow colors all,
As cattle's gathered in their stall.
The harvester brings in his bounty,
Of wheat that he . . .

Peas are in the pot,
Chicken in the frying pan,

MEMORIES
Mental images that
Evokes nostalgia sometimes, or
Maybe simple thoughts kept, to help bring
Order to the situation at hand.

Thanksgiving. A day set aside to eat, share time with family and friends, eat, a time to pause and be thankful for all the good things in life, and eat. Nowadays, I think almost all Americans . . .

Continuum of time,
Arranged in cycles,
Repeating,
Occassionally,
Until the Carnie,

Dispoasable cameras can be a great teaching tool for small children. Go for little walks or go exploring in your own yard. If the child can't quite yet work the buttons, let him/her decide . . .

Lie there upon your bed, My Dear,

Is the glass half-full,
or half-empty?
Look closer,
you will find,
there is a middle place,
a place of procrastination,

They clearly see a distant page,
From past times gone,
Yet the elders sing their song,
With cracked and broken voice.

And in wisdom count the days, . . .

The moon gives way to dawn's light,
As the day begins anew.
The sun stretching, yawning,
Its beams unfurling golden fingers,
Bending low to touch the earth,
Diamonds mingle with the dew,
As the moon . . .

Across the rippling waters.
Where the pond holds depth.
