my poet’s heart
is quiet
though my eyes
are leakin’ tears
they fall silently
I can’t always
suck ‘em back
Lord knows
I try
‘cause I really
hate to cry
my poet’s heart
is squeezing
beating
pumping life
yet quiet
drip drop drip
damn it
no time for tears
the sun is shining
a new day begins
gotta go embrace it
my tears will dry
either evaporate
or in the wind

Art Club today.
Soul food for me.
One student saw me in the hallway before school and asked, “What are we makin’ today?” I grinned a conspiratorial grin and said, “I’m not tellin’. It’s a surprise.”
He grinned back and went to class. Gotta give a guy credit for tryin’.

I was charmed by the colorful tilted umbrellas at Sam’s Club today. Yet another sign Spring is on its way – patio furniture is on display. *happy sigh at thoughts of Spring*

I think bad weather is still in the forecast for tomorrow. “Bad,” as in, “snow and ice.” But today?! Today is gorgeous outside with blue sky, white clouds and less vicious biting wind. It nearly feels like Spring, before chill seeps in. Lovely lovely beautiful sunshine day. Much needed.

I’m treading water.
Staying afloat.
Keeping the sharks at bay.
Soaking up sunshine rays.
Smiling more than crying
…most days.

It’s crazy windy again here today. The wind is literally whistlin’. I love this love seat spot because I can hear the wind chimes chime even as the wind gusts and roars. Blue laid back down to catch more doggy zzzz’s. He is glad for company on the main floor and for gettin’ some good mornin’ loves from me.

The stars have been so pretty at night, walking Blue. The moon is getting fuller again. Time. Moving on.

The cat was in my closet.
I didn’t know…until I was putting clean clothes away and Blue followed me in.
YOWL WOOF
That cat practically flew to the way back, as I grabbed Blue’s collar, hauled him out and shut the door behind me.
Laundry isn’t for the faint o’heart in these here parts.
Gotta stay on your toes. Always.
Now there are mountain lion growls comin’ from the closet, and Blue is pacin’ and can’t settle down.
I got your drama. Dog and cat kind. =^.^=

I’m workin’ on polishin’ off that Valentine’s Day cake now. My youngest son (age 9 1/2) just said to me, “Mom, ya gonna eat that hunk?” I said, “Yes” and then he pretended to steal my plate o’cake. He already had his! Mine! Mmmmm good too.

I’m back on the sidewalk with my big Blue dog. He’s yappin’, nuzzlin’, and all around canoodlin’ with his best girl, Luna, right now.
