MissingSomething

I am not looking

For anything of course

That is until I

Do stumble upon it

Realizing it was missing

And how did I

Ever do without it

NowIWill

I no longer prefer

To find someone new

Rather like a monument

Or even natural wonder

I shall sit wait

Being my majestic self

Letting the curious onlookers

Wonder how in the

World something like me

Ever came to be

PoetryToMe

Poetry is the language

Of the ancient and

Children minds free to

Wander dream and think

Poetry confuses those middle

Minds taught to follow

For poetry never explains

But simply quietly suggests

Where you might go

Recognize

What I need now

More than anything else

Is the time to

Settle in for winter

And wait for spring

This is what happens

When love freezes over

And waits for someone

Else to warm it

With wink or nod

Or even a hello

Like a daffodil recognized

Amidst the winter’s garden

There’sNoMore

One of the

Saddest sounds is

The scraping of

Utensils at the

Bottom of the

Pot or bowl

Because you know

Right then that

Whatever delectable feast

That you enjoyed

Is now nothing

More than memory

Remember you might

Recall you may

But no matter

How you try

You know that

No two pots

Of anything are

Ever really alike

So enjoy what

You can and

When you can

Until that is

There’s no more
