Late for a Meeting

The hallway echoes
High heels click quickly on tile
Late for a meeting

My Aging Doggy

Slowly he stretches
He gets up with grunts and groans
My aging doggy

Summer Night Thunder

Summer night thunder
Vociferous storm clouds speak
Taunting us below

Dog Has a Tapeworm

Wriggling, wiggling thing.
Yes, I saw you this morning.
Dog has a tapeworm.

I had a disgusting encounter this morning while walking the dog. He had a tapeworm - I saw it in his poop. GAG!!!! GROSS! Ugh - if I could only erase the image!

Sunday-Night Insomnia

A full head of thoughts
Sunday-night insomnia
Monday will be hell

Like Light on Water

Like light on water
A sweet glistening smile
Hides what lurks beneath

Staring at the Ceiling

Silence screams loudly
I just stare at the ceiling
Alone with my thoughts


I am having one of those days where I feel like I have no control over life. This will pass - the illusion that I have any amount of control over things, that is. I can only control certain aspects - most importantly, my reaction to those things out of my control.
