Nothing fancy, just some plain talk about life in general and me in particular. Empty nests, clawfoot bathtubs, parking-lot trysts, unusual birthday gifts, accordion gigs, worldwide travel. Come along with me!

Haiku for the Holidays
Holidays are here
People rushing back and forth
Cash registers hum
Too much stress for all
Why hurry to go in debt?
Consumerism
Deeper values lurk
Just outside the bustling crowd
Try to bring within
What's it all about?
Let the glitter disappear
Look for one true gem
Sparkles from inside
Voices saying hi to friends
Twinkles in the eyes
Stillness in the night
Harmony without a price
Money not a source
Give yourself as Gift
Move more slowly, less in haste
Breathe a purer air

I love that we were writing poetry at the same time. We are so junior high. Love you.
So, like, is blogging the new junior-high school too?
Oh god I hope not. Junior high was so miserable!!
Nice poems...both of you. Like mother like daughter.
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!!!!
Amen to that. Here's to a Happy and Peaceful Christmas for all.
