BeerPoetry

The words are

Flowing like draught

Beer all fizzy

And foamy quenching

With just a

Bit of bite

Drink me down

And belch knowing

That you’re satisfied

And soon will

Swoon with words

HappyFatherDaddyDay

Fathers and Daddies

Men that teach

Guide and groom

Boys to men

One day a

Special day recognizes

Those things passed

Down like a

Baton in life’s

Relay race sometime

Dropped yet always

Finished remember those

That made you

You

Happy Father/Daddy day

Spider

And this morning

As I enjoyed

My coffee the

Strangest spider kept

Dancing across thigh

Hand and finger

I swatted plucked

And pinged it

Off me until

I realized that

It was you

Visiting me in

Your sleep reminding

Me with your

Little dance that

You’re still here

FailureStones

In life it

Is not our

Successes that matter

What matters however

Are our failures

Enjoy as many

As you can

Failures are like

Slippery mossy stones

On which you

Step to cross

A creek you

Need them to

Get from here

To over there

But there’s always

The danger of

Slipping getting wet

Failures are the

Funny memories that

We laugh about

While basking in

The warmth of

Our brief successes

LoveBike

Oh in love

I’m a child

On his first

Bike all wobbly

Steadied by another

Eventually pushed glide

For a bit

Then fall skinning

Hearts and elbows

I try again

Remembering the feeling

Of flying and

Fall many times

Eventually I will

Ride with freedom

Protecting my elbows

And my heart
