a serenade
Carpe Diem #1097 Serenade in D major by Ethel Smyth

train whistle
echoing through the night
lonely serenade
winter love

winter love
decorated tree
logs blazing in the fireplace
early winter night
old couple sharing kisses
under mistletoe berries

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
The Phrenologist
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

I Want To Know
I Want To Know
How the moon learned
to shine
Why planets don’t
get dizzy – spinning
What the stars do
during the day
Where clouds find
rain and snow
Who whispers to
the wind
When you knew
you
loved
me
