Trifled with my heart

Loving you I'm true
Each day with you

In the game of Star Chase to the Moon only some will return. Others could very well not.

Tiny Tink's assent was very successful. She was elated and felt quite giddy.

Alas, her dive! Into the Isaev Crater naked.

Scrub her return.

One Single Impression: Angel

Angels on My List

My angel waits above my head in bay
I know she does, she's my protective marm
I pray to God I need her watching way
like moms of old she saves me from all harm

My angel lives with me she is my spouse
Pretty for me and queen of mine so sweet
I love her all, hands to feet, heart and soul
the greatest gal that I could ever meet

My angel lives with me my little child
This kid is smart and quick she's always near
she follows me around puppy dog style
I love my angel small this little dear

So now you know exactly what it takes
my angel list is short but hard to make

Aging ~~ Sensational Haiku Wednesday

A curse came close to Henri's lips. Silently she bit her tongue; that fellow wasn't worth ...

She gave him the slip and made some tea.

Stand ~ Acrostics Only (a Limerick)

S T A N D

Sitting still is not food for my soul

Talking weird turns my blood boiling droll

Always funny and gay

Never dry or decayed

Drinking wine 'til can't stand dug my hole

One Single Impression: Overt


.............Bright............and............Dismall............

Brothers: Overt and Covert

Once there were two brothers of Wright
they were different as night and day
Fred was always dapper and bright
Ted was quiet, loved wearing grey

Fred was open, always forthright
ask him he'd tell your answer plain
but Ted talked in riddles not right
kept his thoughts inside how insane

Died years ago now with the ants
shared their tombstone aptly inscribed
Fred--open frank and apparent
Ted--hidden secret and disguised

Depends on how you write your book
do you want your friend's second look

I'm still on holiday and will be back to the States but not for a while.

Please leave some comments now and then while I'm gone. My computer will come with me and I'd like to hear from you. Your comments are like letters from home.
I might even leave more little photos or poems or notes here now and then like this one.

And I'll read your blogs some.

But probably I won't resume returning your comments after until I return.

Today was my mother's birthday. She would have been 99 years old had she lived.

I still miss her, she was Mom.
My mom.

A lot of us don't have mom's anymore. If you still have one please give her a hug today for me. Thank you.

And if you don't have a mom now then you can shed a little tear with me.
Thanks to you also and may God bless you.

I just love a little nip of Jack Daniels during my bath.
It makes me feel so invigorated.
Would you care for one also?
