Waiting is the hardest thing to do, Waiting means anticipation, Anticipation is one’s hopefulness, Hopefulness makes for opportunity, Opportunity awaits, Grab hold!

Fast, Then Slow
I set out, My mind is busy, As usual. Quick steps at first, Then, I begin to slow, My path lies ahead. I choose my route, A familiar crunch, Echoes beneath my feet. I stop, I breathe, I feel. I begin again, A thread of hay, In my hands. Twisting, Twirling, Curling. The leaves sway, …
My Friend, Summer
My friend, Summer, Where did you go? I’m missing you already, Didn’t you know? My friend, Summer, Can you stay a bit longer? I really wish you would, Or… are you a goner? My friend, Summer, Is my request too late? I surely hope not, Are you open to debate? My friend, Summer, Don’t you …
Seize the Moment
A gentle breeze is blowing, Buzzing sounds fill the air, It’s just me and my thoughts, Sitting in my favourite chair. The day is just beginning, What adventures will it hold, Dare to seize the moment, It doesn’t have to be anything bold. The water lightly ripples, A few ducks float on by, Not a …
Soaring Synergy
Up high like a bird, As free as I can be, Amongst the piney mountaintops, Is a peaceful serenity. A synergy of beings, Mother Nature and myself, A quiet understanding, Of us and nothing else. https://wordpresscom34070.wordpress.com/2020/07/07/daily-jibberjabber-word-prompts-july-8th-july-14th/
You Are…
You are the center of my world, The apples in my pie, A super duper guy! You are the smile in my sleep, The Hawaiian in my coffee, As sweet as dark toffee! You are the diamond in my ring, The cheddar on my pizza, A one-of-a-kind Mona Lisa! You are the touch on my …
Summer Days Are Calling Me
Summer days are calling me, I cannot wait to answer them, Lakes and mountains and the like, Mother Nature's not-so-hidden gems. Morning sun and walks aplenty, Flowers budding effervescently, Green grasses and blue skies, Vibrant colours which are so luminescent. Warm temperatures, breezy plights, Leading well into the nights. Early to rise and late to …
Nightclub Dances
He shoots her a smile, she shyly turns the other way, Watching from afar, he also spots her brown, curly locks, She and her friend order up another set of drinks, The night is still young after all, Then their favourite Ed Sheeran song begins playing, It will be another night spent on the dance …
Mosquitoes
My summer nemeses, Out to get me, Sucking my blood dry, Quick to buzz in my ears, Unrelenting and tenacious, Irritating as can be, Tons of them after the rain, On my neck, knees, fingers and toes, Endlessly itchy welts that drive me crazy, Scratching them to no avail.
A Reminder of Hawaii
Plumerias bloom, Soft, velvety pink petals, Brightly on display.
