A repetition of groundhogs agree
That an early spring we will see
So take off your winter coats,
Get out your bright beach totes,
Put in your bikini and beach towel,
The ocean beach it's time to prowl.

I am back online.
feeling a bit iffy
but this too shall pass.

2

Ate a light breakfast:
three orange slices and coffee
with a glass of juice.

Listening to music
to a soundtrack of One Hit Wonders
why do these remind me
of friends lost
in time or space.

Memories of yesterday
are welcomed back
into my mind;
why do I remember
only the good day
when I listen to One Hit Wonders
playing one after another.

I'm tired of dealing with answering machine robots
that put me eternally on hold
while it plays its rendition
of elevator music.

I want to talk to a living human being
not an android
that thinks its human.

I have stepped into the twenty-first century.

I my provider upgraded
my free phone
to a new Motorola
4G smartphone;
now all I have to do
it learn how to use it
and remember to keep
the battery charged.

An open door
on a warm late winter afternoon
it feels like summer.

Awoke at midnight
disconnected my smart phone from the charger,
said the midnight prayer
and then went back to sleep until the alarm sounded
to remind me
to take
my Saturday morning medication.

2

Sixty-five degrees
and sunny;
why does it feel
colder in the house?

Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day
The day to say "I love you"
To someone you love.

The next door neighbors
are pounding on something
making noises
that echo through the wall.

The pounding
is both distracting
and soothing
to my muse.

Fidal (Grace), 10 Mulk (Dominion), 172 BE - Tuesday, February 16, 2016

After a productive morning
I'm too tired to think,
can't write any more,
can't review any more;
I'm getting offline
to chilling out,
meditate,
say some prayers,
and maybe watch a little T.V.

Positive morning
Wind blowing through palm trees
Carries happiness

Just dropped in for a few minutes to check what's going on. I'm shivering so I'm going to get off until I warm up. I'll try to drop by latter in the day or tomorrow.

Saturday morning
Happy birds awaken me
Inhale a new day.

Sunday morning
the coffee is brewing,
the sun is shining,
and the neighborhood is silent
another week begins.

Happy Leap Day!
It's a good day to jump
into March
with a smile and a laugh.

I woke up this morning
listening to the singing of birds
and the barking of dogs
celebrating Leap Day.
