POET PROMPTED BY PRIORITIES
My mind drifts
between wake and sleep.
Syllables
merge, on the
verge of poetry…but first…
I must take a leak.

CRUSH(ED)
There once was a woman quite old
Her habit was often to scold
I’m not going to lie
Her words were a punch in the eye
Of the one who thought her a beauty to behold.

Home Sweet (Beautiful) Home
Starlit skies
golden sunrises
fields of green
in between.
They say beauty’s in the eye
of the beholder.

Second Chances
When light fades
closing out the day,
tomorrow
slowly steps
out from the shadows, bringing
a new ray of hope.
