Curled water rolling in

 

Could have been more to see.

We took in a ton, on, on and on.

We’re on our way to see the town.

Light jacket weather right by the sea.

No need to ask for more, Lucky.

New day

 

a brand new day and we’re ready to take it.

one after another they repeat in packages.

Labeled to sparkle bright.

Shine your best, Ranger.

Learning slowly

 

The phenomenon of vocabulary covers like a blanket.

Eyes open as slowly words develop.

I make typing errors and despite this move on

advancing with difficulty, working to make sense.

We’ll begin conversation with strangers.

Keep it up. Fragments will come together

Cool but okay

 

Thursday today, traffic is moving,!!

Floating along at a fine pace.

Label it a Moderate and call it passing briskly.

Seems a good day

Not too cool.

Here at Angelo’s no one too much is nearby at this hour.

Saw Franco looking worn by the years.

Surprised him,  he smiled, happy to see me. 

Been a while, surely has.

they said iT’d be

 

i’d be a rainy day they said

and sure enough we woke now

this very morning with a full solid 

umbrella full rain thick all around goings on

without pause at all.

so how’s about all this?



Monday, December 04, 2023

Preparedness for Monday

 

Shower Clean then breakfasted

Outdoors appears fine moderate this morn.

Traffic is moving; an example to follow.

Ring those Christmas bells while on the way.

Oldsters cane-walking out of the way.

Rode and slept

 

At montecarlo restaurant the guy didn know  me

If I saw him outside he’d be a stranger

The pizza was good, everything you’d want.

Ate and left

We were in the crowd, out of sorts

Tired from the day

Went back to our hotel and crashed.

It was quiet as we slept all night.

Collapsing moments prefacing


we’ve steadied a warble

In anticipation of the tumble

Wrapping for a departure 

i think we can make it.

i'll have some chocolate.

 



Tuesday, November 28, 2023

How is the quality of the pizza ?

 

I ‘ll check carefully this time.

Stepping back to observe in good attention 

Those small side street places

And Remos in testachio - the top of the loop.

If I’m checking I don’t want to do half a job.

Ah, Sapri and the god one there,

We’ll it’s like besance France,

I can’t get around to all of them.

And the others, oh yes, more.





Monday, November 27, 2023

day is

 

Perky maybe, depends eh?

Street guys came by sucking up leaves.

one more try. take ‘em out.

nary a shout, these are quiet guys.

city workers

have to be wary to see ‘em passing.

a cop went by. 

he was silent too.

A good November

 

As expected , complete with the usual holiday 

We wrapped November.

As usual it went well. Thirty day’s worth.

As usual I strained the day banging against my 

intentions.

 Driveway walking went three times,

 cold and complete.  This is to set me and you up

To see the walk as the important event it is, don’t 

just blow it off as nothing. Walking keeps me

Thinking, thinking.  

Ten till five and darkening.   Good November to you.


Wednesday, November 22, 2023

Moisture

 

How much coming down?

I told her we can take it.

We’ll dodge and trod

Into the mist. We’ll make it.




Tuesday, November 21, 2023

Wet all over

 

Holding on to last night’s rain

This morning the slow button is depressed.

I’ll keep you warm and dry my darling 

Wrapping you comfortably caressed.




Monday, November 20, 2023

Here is a dandy

 Only bet

What you can 

Afford to lose.

This is a public service announcement 


Someone should have received a bonus

For writing that one.


Personally, on the matter,

i don’t want to throw away any money.














Sunday, November 19, 2023

Getting used to cool

 

Not quite gloves yet,

Coming up, you bet.

My hats ready, all set,

Heading in, no fret



Saturday, November 18, 2023

Creeped by

 

Sure things went on

Another regular day from the time I awoke.

Drying out from previous day’s rain, light wind and sun,

Just to tell you how it went after it had begun.

A Saturday all for all to enjoy.

To get you straight I saw no one and nothing happened.

Maybe that’s why the day went so smoothly;

The day had no ripples in it.



Friday, November 17, 2023

Full rainy day

 

Woke to the tapping,

Rain drops smacking;

Coming down crystal clear

Nothing lacking this wet November day.


The final leaves will soak and fall,

Winter’s ready to make a call.

This season has done the job,

Wrap up with an apple Bob.


We won’t play that game,

Years have passed, it’s not the same.

We’ll remember and surrender 

To the grace of the years.





Thursday, November 16, 2023

quiet hollow

 

Fewer than usual is less regular.

Sun shines calm beginning this day.

Could have come up with more, then again

i prefer a clean look without imagining overboard.






Wednesday, November 15, 2023

Easy does it

 

Sliding out of bed

Crisping somewhat ahead.

Thin blue overhead.

Red leaves turning orange.


Low dawn cracks slipping in.

Let’s you know day begins.






Tuesday, November 14, 2023

Gas out now

 

Our efforts are attentive and cautious.

An eye out for what’s next.

A crossroad is ahead. 

I remember the Woolybear.


That closed years ago, we’d have breakfast there.

Just to try it.  A spot alone in the country.

A bird just flew against the window.

A real whap; I hope it’s all right.


I jumped, saw it fly to the bush out front.

Now it’s here picking berries.

Gasing up for a flight south.

Every body’s working.



Monday, November 13, 2023

another time

 

Have the way open with tickets and packing.

A good time to settle in, see friends again.

Check the familiar streets,

Ride the favorite buses to familiar places


We’ll test the pasta at Pasquali’s.

See old friend’s faces.

Checking new and proven places.

See museums and hear hard rain.


Ride a train,

Look around some.

It will be fun 

To be home again.




Saturday, November 11, 2023

Getting together

 

Sorted clothes for the trip, sort of.

Meaning, I have selected what I’m wearing.

Much supposedly complete and comfortable.

Washed, folded and packed.

Not lacking.

To the sky stacking.


  

Friday, November 10, 2023

Disguise the limit

 

Coming up the back trail, 

Straight along directly into town.

As clouds gather.

It will be an average rainy day.



Rolling grey balls

 

Today clothes get put together,

We’re coming to go time.

A few cars, no walkers this a.m.

I saw three cars already, two or three.




Thursday, November 09, 2023

Indescribable

 

The color is new outside.

Light with a breeze.

A fresh adaptation from the old.

A different variation.


Curious how how all has changed

To something unseen before.

The trees. Bushes even the lawn

Have mellowed into color not previously exposed.



Wednesday, November 08, 2023

A week away or so

 

I’d say we’re coming on it.

The big trip that’s been delayed 

so long, now can you see

It’s here on us, oh yes.


Packed and prepared or so,

It seems we can say we’re set.

To see our friends

On our familiar lanes.


We’re going home again.

Back to our dear friends,

Chalk up our old sights,

Back to our memories.




Tuesday, November 07, 2023

Shiny bright

 

The golden day opens

We’ve a new amount of morning leaves.

Hip deep and golden

Shaken out in dampness 

They have continued dropping 

There is no stopping until the end

That is winter.

We’re beginning 

To get there.

The season end is where the next will begin;

Get ready.






Monday, November 06, 2023

Very light blue

 

Bright around the edges

Trees are thinning out

The sound is leaves falling.

No one outside walking.

I say that and a car speeds by

Followed by a dark patrol car.

Couldn’t see how it ended.

If the cop stopped that car word would

get around the coffee lounges.





Sunday, November 05, 2023

Fog sunday

 

Got it thick here

Took two hours to rid of it.

Fall day cool is it

Football or opera?
