Three Things That Are Loud (2010)

1. Firecrackers.

2. Garbage trucks.

3. Bustling cities in general.
=========================
Silence is gone-
With all of the action, that is
going on.

I Looked Out The Window And What DId I See? (2007)

• I looked out the window and what did I see?
  But a glimpse of a time, that used to be.
  .
  The little white house was freshly painted and still wet-
  The little flowers that were to surround the house, hadn’t been planted yet.
  .
  The fig tree was only a little bitty sprout-
  The iceman passed by the house and waved, while on his regular route.
  .
  A young woman walked through the yard with her three little girls-
  With her husband by her side, things were looking up in the world.
  .
  A new home, on 1/2 an acre, for all five-
  A brand new start, always makes one feel alive.
  .
  A three room house with an outhouse to boot-
  They would no longer wander, for they had finally found a place to root.
  .
  The children played in the flower filled yard, and eventually grew up, and moved away-
  The younger woman and her husband, grew older, day by day.
  .
  The fig tree bloomed, and bore much fruit every year-
  When the husband passed away, the old woman grieved, and shed many a tear.
  .
  The paint on the house had taken a heavy beating, from the years of weather-
  The frail old woman, one day, just didn’t get any better.
  .
  The yard grew up and the house eventually had to be torn down-
  All that was left, was the large fig tree filled with birds, making wonderful chirping sounds.
  .
  As I looked out the window, I saw how it used to be-
  The memories of my Great-Grandmother, in her fruit of life, in another century.

Three Where Have They Gone? (2015)

1. All the flowers?
2. All those jobs?
3. The honeybees?
=======================
Not to scoff-
Mysteriously dying off.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 828

The children ran out to play-

They were going to have a fun day.

.

It was sunny enough-

To do the really fun stuff.

.

Like climbing trees-

And, enjoying the breeze.

.

Searching for bugs, in the grass-

Collecting sme of them, in a jar glass.

.

Picking flowers, for mother, of course-

Just having fun, looking at the neighbor’s horse.

.

Realizing that one day, that this could not go on-

Gee, the summer had moved on, and it was about gone.

.

There would come a day when-

That thing called school, would once again begin.

 

The children ran out to play-

They were going to have a fun day.

Three Ways To Deal With Anxiety (2012)

1. Try to ignore it.

2. Hide from it.

3. Face it.

=====================

Tell it to come on-

And, as you keep looking

at it, you’ll see that, for longer

periods, of time, it is gone.
