Hump Day

Middle of the week,
Thinking ‘bout my travels to
Egypt and Jordan . . .

[Picture above was taken in Wadi Rum, Jordan.]

Path to Oblivion

Along the trail,
Trailing behind schedule,
Scheduling in my head,
Heading for trouble,
Troubling my life,
Living for a journey,
Journeying nowhere.

A day filled with emergencies,
Urgencies,
Insurgencies,
Divergencies.

A day to remember
Friends and family members
Among the embers
On the 11^th of September.

Catch some rays
While reeling in the summer
Of a good time
By the lake,
Waiting for a bite
To eat for supper.

Sweet sixteen,
Princess for a day,
Full of promise,
Hope and sparkle,
Like the crystals
In the tiara.

Part 1: Domestic Bliss
“Buck . . . buck . . .”

Part 2: Disturbance Behind the Screen
“Kuh . . . kuh . . . KACK . . .”

Part 3: Runaway
“Cluck . . . cluck . . .”

A large crane by the sea,
Move up closer for a better look-see;
No need to worry about being heard,
It’s not the long-legged, long-necked bird.
