Not Predicted

The sunshine burst through

Disregarding the forecast

by somebody who

is seldom accountable

for such calculations

that seldom come true

I celebrate this error

Reminds me of how

life can fool you

and turn out fine after all

against all expectations

and all calculations

predicting a fall

On occasion grace may stop by

on a day like today

pat you on the back and urge you to say

Thank you

One Day

Sunshine on Sunday

Soon to be Monday

Look forward to some day

Focus on one day

The one I am in

Morning

It’s a bright and shiny

crispy-cold morning

in Kalamazoo

This moment is mine

I believe it’s yours, too

Joy arrives in the moments

that see us all through

The future is iffy

That’s always been true

So enjoy every sandwich

and the sky’s shades of blue

Given so much

it’s the least we can do

Yes!

This made me smile and I totally relate to this perspective!

Someone asked me if I had plans for the fall. It took me a moment to realize that they meant autumn and not the collapse of civilization.

Morning breaks

And we awaken

Until the sun sets

The night is forsaken

We breathe in the new

And think about bacon

But we try to be vegan

So that option’s not taken

I wish bacon was a plant

At a Cafe

At a cafe all alone

Without a poem

Imperfectly arranged

to be

a part of living

And looking for the good stuff

And hoping that is enough

Go ahead

Buy the watercolors

from Japan

Spend more

then before

I think you can

Someday you may not care

to draw or paint at all

Then you can refrain

while feeling virtuous

for being restrained

Ah, go ahead

Today

Poetry eludes me

And so does the prose

Cannot come up

With either of those

Could it mean I have nothing to say?

But it’s quite in my nature

To talk anyway

No matter

I chatter

In order to play

And continue attempts to be art-y today

Scribbling for Focused Relaxation

Accidental Colors

The similar colors just caught my eye. I think the water color must have been my attempt to use up leftover paint!
