Started out in Prague,
I’ve so much to catalog.
Was I all agog!
[The photos that follow include Church of St. Nicholas, the Lennon Wall, St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague Castle, Powder Gate, the Astronomical Clock, Hotel Rott, Dvorák Museum, Alfons Mucha Museum, Petrin Park, The Loreto, and Konopište and Karlštejn Castle.]
Sweaty and winded,
Greeted with closed boarding gate,
Missed connecting flight.
Re-routing given,
This time a two-hour delay;
Murphy’s Law gone wild.
Frazzled since midnight
Checked-in carry-on is lost,
Along with my mind.

Tucked between pancakes,
Chocolate-chipped strawberries,
Coconut sprinkled.
****************
Pancake ingredients all mixed in a bowl:
1 ¼ cups pastry flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp raw sugar
1-2 tbsp flaxseed meal
¾-1 cup leftover cooked oatmeal
1-2 cups homemade tapioca pudding
1 egg
3 tbsps cooking oil (I used safflower oil)
Enough cups of almond milk (or flaxseed milk or any milk) to make your batter not too thick or thin, whichever you prefer
Once alive and well,
Full of hope and a future.
Now the young are still.
(May those who perished from the Manchester bombing rest in peace and their families find comfort. My condolences to them.)

Art, art, where art thou?
Modern art, you’re elusive;
Appear before me.
Is there a message?
What mystery do you hold?
Oh, nothing at all.

He snickers at me;
Poppy seed between my teeth.
That’s my morning bling.
Chomping my breakfast,
An everything bagel
Gives me my black gem.
He’s not happy here.
Ev’ry day in padded rooms;
Drugged, tagged as insane.
Frigidly fringed eaves
Nature’s ready-made dagger,
Straightened iced sickle.

O Valentine mine,
You pursue like a cheetah;
Treat me not as prey.
