i saw a red cardinal perched in the foliage of a tree, singing to its mate hidden somewhere in the forest of my neighbor’s yard. she would answer in a soft sweet tone. he would then call back in his loud lilting voice. no doubt they continued their conversation long past the time i left [...]

how did it become almost the end of september? where have i been? i cannot believe that christmas is a mere three months away. i can feel fall in the air, even though i live in west central florida. yes, it’s still in the 80s but that draining humidity is gone, at least i no [...]
untitled

Look at me standing here like I know what I’m doing,
Like I know where I’m going and I’m not afraid to go there.
Let the rain smash against me, plundering my very existence,
Plastering my clothes and my hair to my body like an artist
Because it sure doesn’t feel like this human being is moving.
Sometimes I wonder [...]
summer’s crawling in

oh, yes, it’s may already. the sun is getting hot (at least down here in florida it is) and i’m not ready for the heat, humidity, weeds, bugs, and sweat. i hate being cold but i don’t like being hot either. so where does that leave me? it’s been almost a year since i lost [...]

just don’t wanna do it. just don’t want to paint and repair and do home improvement stuff. my house isn’t selling. apparently no one wants fixer-uppers anymore, not at least here in florida. so i have to try and fix the so many things wrong with my broken bungalow. but it won’t happen. not all of [...]

monday, oh monday. here i am. i made it through one more monday workday. and now i’m home and i get to listen to the pounding bass coming from my neighbor’s house. how can i listen to my poet self in the midst of chaos and thunder? sometimes i just wanna run away.
left in the dust

right now i am at an impasse. i feel as if someone changed the stoplight from green to red and then disappeared, leaving me in a permanent state of waiting. waiting for my life to become what i dream it will be. waiting for the magic of money to find me. waiting for prince charming…well, [...]
where oh where have i been?

i am lost in the zone called working for a living. who decided that the world runs efficiently in a five-day span for 8 to 10 hours each day? i long for freedom from money issues. if i had all the money in the world i would … what would i do? travel, travel, travel (did i [...]
memoir meme

i was tagged by miss demure restraint for this meme. it’s a six-word memoir, inspired by hemingway, who once bet ten dollars that he could sum up his life in six words. he came up with — for sale: baby shoes, never worn.
here are the meme rules:
1. write your own six-word memoir.
2. post it on your [...]
lunar eclipse

i sat outside in a chair and watched the lunar eclipse from my side yard. the view was framed by trees and my neighborhood was uncharacteristically quiet, so it almost felt like i was outside in a wispy forest. clouds came and covered the evolution of the eclipse during parts of it but i was fortunate [...]
