Two Crows

Two crows perch on an electric wire.

I’d think their claws would catch on fire!

But, they just perch there, looking dire,

surveilling the world from the live, hot wire.

Corona Virus Random Thoughts

I’m blogging my way through the Virus,

recording each Random Thought.

Mostly, I think it’s keeping me sane.

But, sometimes, I’m thinking: It’s Not.

I’ve become a Long-Haired Hippie

I’m Sending You a Blessing

I’m sending you a Blessing

for comfort, health, and peace.

I’m sending you a Blessing

to put your heart at ease.

another American dies.

Six Month Cleaning

The dentist wants to see me.

I don’t want to go.

The forecast is for rain today.

Yesterday, we had rain.

The columns of death are rising.

There’s a long, dark road ahead.

Good Dog!

We’ve had a lot of dogs

through the course of the years.

They’ve mainly brought friendship.

They’ve brought a few tears.

They’ve all been different –

But, they all have loved, and,

they’ve tried to be good.

Spot

I’m thinking today

of Cheryl’s dog, Spot.

Small in size. Big in heart.

A quivering bundle of energy.

Loyal and true as she could be.
