Eclipse

a lifetime moment

when the moon comes and takes the

sun’s moment to shine

Picture credit to my fiance, Michael. He took this with his telescope.

I meant to post this in the morning today… but I do have an excuse. Drove up to Newport, VT yesterday to view the eclipse and got home 1am last night. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜ด

It was so worth it, though!

Heart Monitor

like a parasite
latched to my chest
it reads
and knows
when my life’s blood
hesitates


I currently have a heart monitor on for the month of April…my body hates me, hah. Hearts been skipping a beat/pounding. Could be all normal…could be not. Better to be safe than sorry! This poem is silliness. But sometimes we must make light of the very serious. It’s the only way we survive. It’s the only way I survive.

Now Posting Monday, Tuesday & Thursdays

Happy Tuesday! I am pivoting and trying something new. I am now going to post (lord willing) Monday and Tuesday mornings, and Thursday afternoon around 1pm.

On Mondays look for some Monday motivation in the form of a quote either about conquering the week, writing or mental health. Most likely…I’ll post a lot about mental health.

Additionally, I’d like to post on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesday mornings look for a poem. (With the exception of today, which I’ll post about 1pm today.)

Thursday afternoons could be a poem, an update about the blog, my day, the writing process…what have you. We’ll call Thursdays miscellaneous day, hah.

I hope everyone has a great week! ๐Ÿ™‚

Vet Haiku

the dog is hurting

take to surgeon, cost of leg

walking, maybe not


Our Koda bear is at the vet right now, getting a sedated Xray to see the extent of a CCL tear in his right knee. It’s difficult when your dog is hurt. ๐Ÿ˜ž ๐Ÿ˜ข

Entourage

having two dogs
is like
having a furry entourage

they will follow you
everywhere

except
it’s less about your support

or being an escort
and more like

how much
they need you desperately

Recycled

all that is said that ever was
thinking about it just because
and all the stuff I cannot change
the unimportant or really strange

it’s drifting by like rolled-up news
it’s dirty gray and overused
the stuff that hasn’t happened yet
recycled things I can’t forget
