She patienly waits for the

opus of birdsong, the

laughter of sunshine, the

curious wonders in

her backyard –

but is tolerant of rain

—————-

my six words are –

patient, curious, tolerant

laughter, birdsong, sunshine

The Philosophy of Bingo at a Nursing Home

It’s not about winning –

although that’s nice too –

it’s about following rules,

being helpful to neighbors who

can’t hear, can’t see, or can’t understand

It’s hopeful anticipation,

statring over, having a

lucky number,

lucky rabbit’s foot,

lucky socks

It’s about community and

friendships – losing but not

giving up

It’s diversion, escape,

fun

Pie Surprise

there was an old man who baked pies
though he wasn’t especially wise
he put one to cool
on his wife’s kitchen stool
now she walks round with berry stained thighs

Wanderlust

santa riding a surf board
beach volley ball played on new years day
flightless birds and
animals with pockets
gold mines and cattle ranches
a giant rock – uluru
skies coated with stars
deserts and oceans
desolate and civilized
I’ve seen it all – on a screen
and someday I may touch, smell, taste it too
