ymmiJ Apr 2019
We are the sowers of seeds
These little buds we choose to share
Need careful thought, love, and care
Not meant to be just strewn about to dry
Someone’s life lessons splayed out to just die
So whoever plants these in hopes of growth
have already done so, go forth and sow

Young Bird Heartache

Imagine,  if you will,
for a small split second,

For Love to travel on a wishing star

Dog Days of Summer
ymmiJ Mar 2019
My dogs are barking shut them up
That dog don't hunt stupid animal
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
He's a dog and she's a female version
We use dog in a derogatory way
put him on a leash if you walk today
best of friends is what they say
loyal to the core all day every day
who treats friends like dog crap anyway
But every dog has his day
Ever seen a Dogwood bloom, true beauty, I say
Just cause we have two canine members of the family and I love all my dawgs!! Even tho I am a Tiger from South carolina!!

total distraction
ymmiJ 7d

almost to a crawl eerily
as if to delay the inevitable show
while some dance merrily

the final stops' been dug six feet
everyone gathered 'round
with no one left for us to meet
accept the cold hard ground
