This what - regular

 

One regular reader of my material

Has moved from one country to another.

This is a recent change

I happened to notice today.


What I see of audience is minimal.

It is hard to say 

Where I am is on the other side.

Knocking out this what.


This what is what I write.

Now I should see who reads what I write.

I should see you having your coffee 

What else should I see?


Don’t worry, I constantly leave you alone.

I think about what to write,

Which corner to turn.

How to get where I’m going each day


And then how and when

Will I tie it off for the day.

Explaining is hard, I’d rather be thinking 

about what and how I ‘m going to write.


Now that you dear reader have been mentioned 

Hello hello.   Now that I think of you

I’ll review what I’ve been writing 

To see who my audience is.

Keen to go

 

Lunch out today with the old mates.

We keep it up since a while ago.

Rearranged our group a few times,

But never dropped our calling.


Figured on lunch

No driving at night now.

Making getting together habbit 

As easy and accommodating as we can.


When we need help

Someone steps forward.

We’ve Leslie and Tim

And more jumping in.


Didn’t have any idea when this began.

Thanks all of you.

Call us Us, because this is

Who we have been.


Following the steps 

Of indigenous beginners.

On we go proudly.

Willingly together.

The sky is blue early

 

Why I can’t tell you.

Usually we wait until afternoon.

Now we wake to soft light.

A quiet change.


I saw two walkers,

One with a dog

The other our neighbor.

Gee gee is always solo.


Say do you think the

Second G is capitalized in her name,

I suppose it would be.

Just for appearance.

Day ready

 

First after getting up

Checking outside

Getting dressed

Being half warm and ready for today.


I see leaves disturbed on the bushes

Sprinkles hit them

They wiggle.

Shaking on the vine.


Few vehicles

Two or three

Was going to say two

Then another passed


The quiet side of starting 

I’ll pack myself into a bundle

Walk the drive during a rain pause

I like wearing a hat.

 Sixty minutes overtime.com

Days are turning

 

The morning is not the same.

Fall is coming up.

Leaves are yet to color 

We’ve all the change to see.


It is in the air.

Something we can feel.

Don’t know why 

Every year is different.


This you can feel

from the heart.

Autumn is golden

Soon it will start.





Saturday, September 16, 2023

We need some bus lines

 

Getting to different parts of the city.

Want to be mobile.

No parking problem.

See it all.


Take a ride to your favorite ice cream.

Get the monthly passes.

Out of town spots?

Search and find.

Taking care

 

Up then around watching out for what’s about.

Where is the best - where to go?

Keep the pavement level ahead.

Easy does it. Steady now.


Wispy white like powder .

All the rest is said.

Iron whistle louder

Keep it in your head.










Wednesday, September 13, 2023

Rain and cool

 

Sprinkles, only a few.

The surprise of morning rain is welcome.

It feels like September, the way it should.

No breeze. All is still.


What we have is quiet again.

We had Little our rabbit out there.

Rain again more forceful.

Leaves are ringing.


Few  cars, no walkers.

Have my book out,

Day is stretching 

Keeping in balance.


Sky is dim, full of clouds.

A break from heavy sun.

Think of coffee and

How about cheesecake. A statement not a question.

Easy in, out forever

 

He looked fine in the interview before the game.

Four quick snaps later

The season is now over.

It always is quick when looking back.


AskWyatt Earp and the rest of us.

Yeah we’re included in the pack.

At least we have blue water

to remember, oh yes we surely do.

Football season again

 

The announcer said

The ball was slightly overthrown.

In another view the receiver

Didn’t quite run far enough.


The games have begun 

And I ran out of steam

After one game.

Wait and see what happens 



Sunday, September 10, 2023

Turn up

 

Yesterday afternoon they both turned up.

The Two rabbits previously missing

Turned themselves in.

What a surprise.



Saturday, September 09, 2023

Split

 

The time has come

New-Little and Big Little have gone.

They both have run well.

We will always remember them.


Brave hearts

With good speed

Invisible runners

 

Not out this morning 

At day ebb I said

Notes just read

Climb from thy bed.


Bunnies where are ya ?

Your color blends so well

You’re probably right on top

Still we miss tour hop


Can’t see you easily 

As population is measily

And lost in the colors 

Blended by dream.





Wednesday, September 06, 2023

 Money and power are not the correct reasons to be in politics.  Service to country and seeking right are better attributes to obtain.

Day do you have?

 

Open sky for seeing

Where we’re being.

Dry your eyes,

Clear blue skys.

how hit’ll do

 

Bought a second hand coffee cup

Waited util it was washed.

The up is larger than what I had previously used,

But t used it this morning and liked it.


Give it a week or two,

Or a month and I’ll see

How it will do.

Right now I like the change.


When a cup is different it’s personal 

It is a much larger  cup for me.

Give it a week or two or a month 

We’ll see what happens.

Third of October

 

Days slip right on away.

While soaring upward goes the temperature

To a final high before the fall.

Let’s try autumn this way



Friday, September 01, 2023

Dream float boat

 

First thing Little and New Little are out

Rushing, eating, close to the window

In the sun, where we watch,

Coffee some and talk about them.


 Before nine they’re off.

I can settle into the new day’s charms.

Spirit away on wings of slight.

Work out the day until the night.


Another dry day supposed to turn warm.

We’ll take it and give what we can.

Endevour throughout the hours

Settle well with our powers.

Daily worn

 

Cool to start today,

Summer fell away.

Blue background under clouds.

Irregular beginning on the midday of the week.


Sleepy all around 

During a slow beginning.

Of yogurt, cereal

And coffee.

Two whities

 

First thing they are here

Together these friends

Crowding and quiet,

Calm this morning.


Good day to uss all.

Turning to fall

Autumn’s the outcome.

Early and rested.


This day we all sat.

Hello big duo

Hope we all slept well.

No surprise to see you.

Working plans to modify

 

Have to talk with builders.

Seems small jobs put together.

Then you need to purchase materials.

Costs come out of the closets.


The operations  begin to develop unexpectedly.

Maybe it’s better to think of results,

And expect a long road getting there.

Sit and have a coffee while you wait.



Monday, August 28, 2023

Sunny is the day and the way I feel

 Little sat at the start of the day.

By my window. Ready to play.

Blue sky wide and light,

What a first class deal.

Sunday, August 27, 2023

Walking and looking calm as can be

 

How easily we look around

Taking in morning light steadily 

As the days tighten up on August

 we begin to think what’s next.


Sunday costume, pants are clean.

Toast and coffee, strong and lean.

Everybody’s in between.

Praise to the day.


We’ll take the sunshine 

Find the best parts.

Honestly your heart is mine

where true love starts.

Turning seasons

 

Finally on the ebb

Switching colors at last

The reason is the season

goin’ at last.



Friday, August 25, 2023

Missed, but I heard

 

A lot a thunder again last night

While I slept and missed it all.

I had hard dreams going on non stop.

Slip-sliding in and out of Storyland.




I’m

Day after the night

 

More storm than we ever had.

Power went out at nine.

The bad weather hadn’t begun.

Distant Thunder rang all night.


Non-stop rumbles continued.

Couldn’t feel the direction.

The thumps were out there.

Sleep went through regardless.


By the dawn the rain had ended,

Rumbles continued.

There was no end to the storm,

Only a lessening on the distant booms.

Trump is

a bully and a coward.

And people will vote for him.



How much downpour can you take?

 

Not wisp of cloud yet heavy storms are on the way.

Here they are coming, piling in, grouping up.

Bringing dumping loads of water upon us.

Here heavy measurable will fall.


Bumping into each others

A clobbering of down-pouring.

Duck alert china ride

Ka-bunga. 


Blam dumps the drops.

POW-pow into drips and a fine mist.

Downfall, umbrellas out.

A pack of rain. No lie. No doubt.

New game around

 

Football season has begun,

Baseball is on the run.

Had to record Antique Roadshow,

Saw a quarter and went to bed.


Nighttime viewing gets too late.

A Sunday afternoon is enough for me.

They pay players millions

And want me to anti-up?


Could be a tough season.

Baseball gets blown away

Football is just a preview.

And I’m backing down.
