Eyes open as #orchids blooming
Hearts beating as birds swooning-
Only for a single moment
Do our hands brush on by
A bouquet we share.

The world is chaos.
Sometimes shit is senselessly horrible. However, it’s just as reasonable to assume that sometimes shit is senselessly wonderful.
The bad news is that we mostly can’t control it. The good news is that we mostly can’t be blamed.

Let yourself off the hook.

Jokers and clowns laughing it up
Behind the #jovial scenes drama
Masks the changes. Deadly group
Has come together all rather corny
As they empty the barrel of soup
Inflicting us all with negative karma.

give my mother
orchids for Mother’s Day,
the exotic beauty something
to beguile her-
I loved to watch her
treat them so lovingly-

Hello Wild Walk #writers
Today I give you something that I am horribly allergic to. Gather enough of them in a room and I can't breathe.

Use the image/word to inspire your writing, then post with #WildWalkPrompt

Tuesday Night at The Shelter
Lea puts down her meager
belongings next to a cot
& looks ‘round at the others
seeking a warming lifeline.
She gets needed food & sleep
under protective eyes of
station staff—some just a few
paydays from needing cots too.

I’ve been #inattentive in love
And to be fair I just needed a shove,
Now we are bound in eternity
And through every infirmity.

Things can be #hard
Before they get easy
But they do, eventually.
Practice, planning, and strength
All make the road ahead navigable
As does rest, love, patience
And good friends to walk with
So though this road is rough,
We walk in good company

My arms and legs, and face are moving
it could be a little grimly amusing
if only convulsions looked like dancing
and not like a demon was exorcized
It is joke, I cannot write poetry, just self depreciating humor.
