Too Quick

Andrew M

Happy Harry’s having a day

Chased away clouds of Grey

A summer wind be a blowin’

Pretty soon it will be snowin’

The mere thought is a bummer

Knowing it’s the end of summer

Winter feels eight months long

Only hope that I am wrong

Before long cold Grey days ahead

Hard to leave the comfort of our bed

Snow turns into a winter wonderland

I’d rather be playing in the sand

Either way we’re going to play

Shorts and tee’s are put away

Jeans and heavy coats a must

Pulling out shaking off the dust

Summer sunsets which I’m so fond

All year long if I had a magic wand

Not ready to hear Something I fear

Those dreaded words Wait till next year

While we still can

Mind Games

Andrew M

Here I sit............All alone

Wondering.............Worrying

Mind racing........Deep in thought

Getting anxious.......About everything

Nervous twitch........Muscles tight

Pacing the floor......Waiting

Expecting .........The unexpected

Delivery of one.......Not two but three

Shockingly ...........Triple Girls

Yayyyyy!!..............Yikes!!

Natures Best

Andrew M

Showers on a warm spring night

Spring night on the porch sipping

Sipping White Zinfandel watching

Watching the fire flies hanging

Hanging in mid-air floating

Floating setting the stage

The stage for natures symphony

Natures symphony beautiful

Beautiful music and light show

Light show perfectly performed

Performed and choreographed

Choreographed to natures best

Natures best free concert live

Live playing outside your window

Your window window to the world

The world and all it's glory

Another one needs work ,but here it is anywhere

“Just” Thinking

Andrew M

Just a thought while sitting here,catching up It needs help & it will…Later

With each new day brings another yesterday

Yesterday seems to have flown by too quick

Too quick for us to enjoy it seems but a memory

A memory that will be forgotten if much of nothing

happened to keep in our memory “another day”

Another day we should have made the most of

Most of besides work,doing the little things the

simple things in life that we take for granted

Granted,We should smell the flowers for one

For one, another is to scratch off the “bucket list”

Bucket list to enjoy the things you should be enjoying

Enjoying all the Todays so that there is a reason to

Reason to remember yesterday at all instead of

Instead of having “Just Yesterday” in our memory

Our memory is full of yesterdays Are our Todays

Filled with the best to remember? Or “Just” another day?

While we can

Ramblin' on

by Andrew M

Left and right I see the night

In front bright as daylight

Casino to casino Vegas style

Walking that last mile

Might take a while with that smile

Winners winning So much grinning

Too much booze He did lose

Not so funny Lost all his money

Wife is waiting Hubby’s fainting

End of the line Nothing is fine

Divorce of course

Will face the boss with the loss

Empty pockets Bulging eye sockets

Did not step away Has to pay and pay

Sign on the line Nothing is fine

Gotta go with the flow you know

Bad choice The inner voice

Gamble in vain ramble in pain

it’s no use She cut him loose

Starting over with rover

Sanity not vanity wins

From the heart a fresh start

His past caught up at last

Without fail He did go to jail

With no bail he began to wail

Deflated his sail no tall tale

See the judge who has a grudge

Through the tears he got years

Someone should have listened ..If you feed him He'll keep coming back...Someone should have listened.... Hello Everyone Long thyme no read

Phobophobia

Andrew M

A neurotic's nightmare,a Felix

Unger companion Phobophobia

is a phobia that's afraid of other

phobia's or the fear of having

a phobia I do beleive having

this one will cause the patient

to have a nervous breakdown

This would lead to other phobia's

like Iatrophobia fear of Dr's

Then Nosocomephobia fear of hospitals

And finally when he's calmed down

He's scrubbing his hands raw Cause

he also has Mysophobia fear of germs

How does one go about getting help

for this person and others like him?

It's snowing now!!

Another 8 to 14 inches expected Today !!! Enough already

Snowed Again

Andrew M

Snow softly drifts down,blanketing

everything it touches.A wonder-world

of white, piling up, adding inches

where one needs not. Awaiting the

shovel as temperature falls, as the

snow builds up so does our frustration.

When will this winter be over?

I keep hearing the songs of spring

always in the distance. So close

and yet so far. Even now I hear a

Blue Jay as I'm putting on boots

to shovel the walk. Wishful thinking

on my part, I suppose. Here comes

the first of many shove-lings. What comes

to mind is my snow blower, She fought a

valiant death, and is now a paper weight

in the garage Where o where is spring?

Allergies be damned. I want to see some

flowers blooming, grass turning green.

Trees popping, new buds spouting tiny

pieces of life. Snow,and more on the way.

A child's delight, an adults nightmare.

Imagination fills both young and old. As

the snow piles up, One could only dream

of that beach in the Bahamas. As the kids

man there forts with snowballs, soon I say

Soon is not quick enough for me though.

.....First attempt

When TD asked a question and did a Cinquain I knew I would have to try try it. So here it is Thanks

Andrew M

Rotten to the core

Any reasoning gone

Pushes beyond limits

Socially unacceptable

Categorized a misfit

Attracts unsavory types

Leaves behind a bad taste

Lost can't buy a clue

Only that life for him is

Null and void of anything good
