Here’s how it went the other night. Pushing two of my three kids to take showers before 730p, because their other sibling will be home late from dance practice and need to shower. And everyone needs to be lights out by 900p, because it’s early rise tomorrow for drop off to their mom. 655p: Last …

So Many!
Daily Prompt: “What countries do you want to visit?” This is such a great question! So MANY there are, such a long list of countries I’d like to visit, Or at least, my Dream List seems long, There are something over 200 countries currently on the planet, Even the smaller, even tiny ones would be …
Here’s The Thing
Here’s the thing, I have to write, this far in, for sure the true path to let all the light pour out, I just have to write, scribble it down as u often say, lightning in a bottle, good if you can get it, And if it’s all on the page, better chance to catch …
Freestyle: Reflections From The Weekend
Letting it from as the weekend wanes, scribble down the bits that come to mind, good, not so, and otherwise, 250th Anniversary of the US Army, Trump’s birthday, A military parade along the way, “No Kings” Protests in all 50 States, Dodgers > Giants in the weekend matchup, 1, 2 in the West, Filling family …
Dad Day
Fun to be a dad on this particular day, It’s nice, being celebrated a bit, It’s soulful to remember my dad and grandpa on this day, all they did for me, striving to pass along the same, Having the day to putter without guilt, watch a little more, chore a little less, A few moments …
In The Moment
In the moment I think, wonder, wander in my head, drifting off, In the moment just being, seeking a smidge, smudge of discipline, just enough to nudge me forward, through the day, In the moment, writing it down, this thing, the next thing, anything that comes to mind, comes across the synapses, glimpse into the …
Brakes
Threw on the brakes, had to, stamp the pedal hard. Hardly a thing better to do when you feel yourself rolling out of control, Controlled, immediate stop in order, no borderline question of prudence, you’d be well served to follow suit, But suit yourself to decide what’s best for you, for me I know tie …
Channeling E. E.
Channeling EE Cummings, one of the great poets, writers coming out of America from the last 250 years, Harvard train, never restrained in his creativity, pushing boundary, expression, all lowercase, intentionally. I was listening to writers talk recently, now they waited for the longest time to share their writing, I guess perhaps I’m the same, …
First Things First
I juggle all the time to make first things first, emotional as I am, it ain’t easy, So many things compete for FIRST!, hard to make things second, third, fourth, Forthcoming if I’m to be tho’, there’s a bit less whoa in it these days, As my days tumble forward, horizon seems to be coming …
Bicker & Banter
Bicker and banter, what to say, why oh why do they talk that way? Banter’s not bad, truth be told, fun way to jest and joke, for young and old, But banker turned bicker, I’m not such a fan, truth be told, it makes me kinda mad, Maddening that folks can’t get along, when my …
