So Long Friend

It’s time for ‘Bits of Inspiration’ in the Garden and today we’re getting that inspiration from Shoes

So Long Friend

time to give you the boot
my old friend
no use sticking out your
tongue
you just don’t support me
any longer
you’ve tied one on once
too often
our relationship is rather
run-down
there is no shine
i’m left feeling
flat
you and i no longer
fit
it’s not me, it’s
you

Pie In The Sky

Something’s stirring
Perking, brewing
Stewing
I feel it simmering
Bubbling
Threatening to boil over
A half-baked plan
With no recipe
And I’ll serve it up
Garnish it with
Multi-colored sprinkles
Put it on your plate
Watch you slurp
All the love I can dish up

Quadrille # 22 – scar

The Phrenologist

The charlatan claimed to
Be able to read the bumps
And dents on my scull
He massaged, prodded
Poked, stroked
Then told me I was kind,
stubborn
A little sensitive
What would he tell me
If he could read the scars
On my heart

Free Fall

we’re free falling
flying without wings
hands clasped
tugging
at the cord that binds
us to the past
leaving behind the strife
the worries
the discord
and drifting into the
open arms of peace

Mish and I are taking a short break. We’ll be back with more photos and poetry in January. Our goal is to reach 52 posts – a whole year of collaboration!
