No FOMO ~ #Tanka #Poem
A cuppa hot tea Cinnamon, whiskey and cream Around five-fifteen Beckoning early nights sleep To languish in our sweet dreams
Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 🦃 #Tanka
Usual suspects Line the table and gather Around traditions Passed down for generations Always served and made with love
Over 500k
Along the walls of on-ramps and exits I tend to feel a little less self-depressive Realizing I’m free from the oppression That’s effecting homeless intersections Eyes wide every time like it’s a surprise To see living conditions of the deprived Then I can’t help but ask myself why The sheer numbers continue to rise HowContinue reading “Over 500k”
🎁 Gifts exchanged
Come sit with me awhile Share that warm, radiant smile Let’s exchange our best gifts On the times we’ve spent The stockings are overflowing With luxuries of knowing Stuffed full with the memories Of which you’ve given plenty The present’s perfectly wrapped With a bow, as matter of fact Holding our surprises together To cherishContinue reading “🎁 Gifts exchanged”

It’s That Time
When days swiftly fade to night We think about the coming fright Plan our dress up to play pretend It’s the beginning of this year’s end Ready to pass by in a blink of an eye Then it’ll be time to do it all again
