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

Reeling in Summer
Catch some rays
While reeling in the summer
Of a good time
By the lake,
Waiting for a bite
To eat for supper.
Debutante
Sweet sixteen,
Princess for a day,
Full of promise,
Hope and sparkle,
Like the crystals
In the tiara.
Unnatural Wonder
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.
Fountain Blue
Idyllic setting,
A romantic rendezvous,
Fantasy comes true.
An illicit tryst,
Fleeting lust, lasting regret;
A lapse in judgment.
Summah Dinnah
Life’s simple pleashahs,
Lobstah on buttered brioche,
Fresh garden veggies,
A home-cooked dinnah,
With New England clam chowdah,
Topped with bacon bits.
State of the Union
A nation divided,
With leadership derided,
Rivaling factions
On a tangent of distractions.
The media giving them fuel,
Focusing on the drivel,
Congress continues to show inaction,
Amidst a circus of tawdry attractions.
The state of the union
Is like cutting an onion —
Makes you weep.
