GI100 Book #2...random attempts at poetry.

A second attempt at "Give It 100!" Open in new Window., since the first one ("100" Open in new Window.) turned out pretty well even though I didn't complete it within 100 days.

30-Day Image Prompt.


Flowers don't apologize
or make blue skies brighter.
They won't prevent or get
a sunburn (though
some will soothe one).
How many dozens have
preceded a divorce
or celebrated death?
Nothing says "I <blank> you"
more than
this thing
I pulled from the ground.

Cut out the middleman.
Always give cash, or
at least a gift card.
Flowers are for suckers.

30-Day Image Prompt.


The beauty that comes from
getting older
is knowing I don't have to try
to push myself up so many mountains
just to prove a point.
Aging removes some of the
most physically demanding
options anyway, allowing me
to wisely be
cautiously selective. And don't
think I don't take
advantage of that, or
I must be unaware of
how thankful my body
expresses its relief.
The race of life belongs
to the youth;
the strategy
lies in knowing it's time
to stop.

30-Day Image Prompt.


Remember when we were kids
and "The floor is lava!"
meant something? I only ask
because I can see it
leeching into you and
I'm not sure if I'm
fixed enough to save you
without getting sucked in
         again myself.
And I swear to god right now
it's not selfish enough of me
to wonder or ask you
how broken do you have to be
         to send life?
         To spend life?
         To enjoy your freedom
         without it killing you?
Because I'm telling you
it's half past the time
it started to kill me too.
