I hope everyone enjoyed our collective trip down memory lane yesterday. Nostalgia is, after all, delicate.
For next week’s theme, we’re dropping the sentimental reflections for existential pondering. Continue reading “June 10 Theme: Thinking about Thinking”
Way Back When
Simplicity and bliss, ease and peace
Way back when, when there wasn’t much before,
Before I knew I was a pawn, a piece
Of a puzzle, broken and forlorn. Continue reading “Spenserian Sonnet – Nostalgia – JG”
“Fun in the Sun”
Dawn’s yellow light floods into the room.
Early morning sparrows are greeting the day.
Glistening grass still covered in dew,
Jumping out of bed to go out and play. Continue reading “Spenserian Sonnet – Nostalgia – SD”
I can’t read what isn’t written;
Can’t make sense of scribbles in the sand.
How can you proclaim the perfection of what you preach,
When the standards you set, are out of anyone’s reach?

“Lawyer Dan”
Lawyer Dan the righteous man
Doing whatever good he can.
Defending the peace, fighting for right,
But no one knows how he sleeps at night. Continue reading “Lawyer, Lemur, Hershey Park – Galumphing – SD”
Hershey Park
Can’t see the trees in the forest,
Can’t see the eyes amongst the underbrush,
Can’t see what lies before us,
Can’t see what lies have been told for us,
Too focused on the whole;
I neglected the parts.
This is where I fall apart.
It’s all ending, but there was never a start…
