heat of today


two bluejays
two sunny days
countless cups of coffee to drink
countless hours in which to think
the heat finally arrives
and randomness drives
this frosty train of thought
no matter how fast get caught
relaxing in the sun today
perfecting timing to be this way...

meshing thoughts

today I have seen
a blue jay an oriole
and a cardinal
all from the same spot
no bird watcher
just happen to be paying attention
to all that goes on around
where I sit and enjoy my life
like a tree that grows a little everyday
even if it goes unnoticed
reading about the lives of others
their minds overflowed with thought too
caught held in volumes forever
these eyes help the thoughts escape
momentarily when the thoughts
of two mesh…

write it all down


I am no poet just a thinker
with a lot on the mind
wish I could embrace some poetic voice
but it all comes out too random
to be called poetry
writing with colored pens
but very few get to see what color
thought original then re-thought
typed and put with more thought
part of an enormous collection
of writing but I am no poet
just someone who thinks a lot
and happens to write it all down...

rain hasn't stopped

calendar says it's summer
time yet the rain hasn't stopped
since March April and May
of course June was the worst in
sometime saw sun completely only two
days (maybe 3)
nothing more than that
the birds still sing out loud
at 430am despite all the rain
the cat always visits me
on the front step every morning then
on the back porch evening time 
then falls asleep right
on my book...
