Waking

Your head upon my chest,
your leg stretched over mine...
To start each day with you this way,
would make life truly divine.

Untweetable

I wrote the perfect poem,
then stripped it to its core,
to get under a hundred and forty,
now its not perfect anymore.

Done

Finally I'm all caught up.
No more poems left to write.
A chance to fill my coffee cup,
and maybe grab a bite.

I sit front of an empty page,
dripping quill held in my hand.
Waiting for inspiration,
to decide where the ink will land.

Reading

The old rocking chair
The dog asleep at my feet
The clock ticks softly
Pages turn in near silence
The serenity of books

Zzz

The sound of raindrops
Morning rush hour hissing by
Wakes me from my sleep
I roll over, close my eyes
Beautiful thing retirement

Gone?

Another grey day.
Is summer over so soon.
To think we complained.
Its too hot, its too humid.
Be careful what you wish for.
