stopping...

just about ready to stop
all this blogging
nonsense

what's the use-
it's made three
cents

"i get no
respect"

never did
never will

ready to eat
worms...

and then I look-
and then I see-
I've broken through
one-thousand hits
-one thousand people
reading
me

!!!
wow

I've never done
that much of
anything...

folks from all over
the world-
1000 of them

and so I am
re-energized
re-inspired

where will this lead?
How much trouble
     will i get in?
Dare i continue?
     can I stop?

like eating peanuts
-sharing thoughts-

kinda scary
maybe the CIA
has me already
     on file...

I'm harmless
     so I think
-but the pen is
     mightier than
     the sword-

poke
poke
I poke at you
with my sword...

awake
awake
value your life
be nice
to yourself
and
others...

we're all
in this together
at least
for now

where we go after that
who is certain

really, really, sure?
really, really, certain?

 

stalker...

one day
you
yell at me
the next
you dance so nice
I ask you to leave
to go away
this-
is just
a challenge
to you

you must have been
raised
to
really hate
women

but only the ones
you have been
close to

the last girlfriend
left town
to live with a male
relative
somewhere,
far away

yes,
I am afraid...

What to do
Who to turn to

If everything is a lesson
this is a big one-
     to
     stand up for
     myself...

If i turn up dead
We'll know
     who to blame-

small solace
small comfort

for
i know
     this is just
     the beginning...

but-
one of my new-favorite
     dance partners
used to be a Marine
---think about that!

Dear Mr. Charming,




Dear Mr Charming,
     You are late!

I have been
     waiting-
So very long...

I was told
     long ago
That you are
     coming-
Mr Walt Disney
     Said So
And
     He
          Wouldn't lie

He had
     everything
So together-
     So wonderfully
          done

Small scale buildings
     neatly trimmed trees
A robotic
     Mr Lincoln
And Indian canoes

-but always
     there is
a poison
     apple-
A rogue hippo
     on the Jungle Ride

-long lines
     in the
     hot sun
Maybe you got
     stuck
     in one of those

The Matterhorn
     I remember
was something of
     an investment
     in time-
for a very short
     ride

So Mr Charming-
     I await
your
     arrival

I never give
     up
on these things
(very possibly,
     maybe, to my
     detriment)

I believe
     in charmingness
and Princes,
     magic crowns,
-Castles in the
     clouds-

People would
     tell me
     not to

But I am busy
     waiting-
Waiting,
     for you

don't bother me
     with logic
or with
     worldly cares

Don't bother me
     I'm waiting-

for I
     am
a Princess
here   !!!!

Garden Notes; Bucket List




     
Today I love
     getting old 
So much undone
     that I will never do... 

The bucket list 
     has a hole in it 

The bucket leaks... 

I am not able-
     can't afford-
And beginning to see 
     the difference between- 
ideas 
     and 
          reality- 

Ideas are 
     much trouble...
Reality- 
     takes care 
          of itself

As in 
     the garden 
Where butterflies fly 
     and robins-
          hop -among the 
               mint-

-I still pull 
     the occasional 
          weed- 

And water 
     some- 

But overall, 
     it does 
          what 
                it wants 

And it's
     better 
That 
     way 

The bucket
     belongs 
In that sort of 
     garden 

-Useful 
     even with 
a hole 
     in it- 

No more lists- 
     if lists 
          can be avoided 

As long as we include 
      God- 

And put her 
     at the top 
     of the list 

Well--
     that is 
          the trick
