Gideon’s Challenge

IMG_0172Multitasking

Unfortunately,
sometimes
there’s just
not enough
time in a day
to get
everything done
that you want to do
if you choose to
take each task
one thing at a time.

Miss Luna feels the same way sometimes, it would seem.

IMG_6505No More Heat

Here comes the sun
do dun do do…
Blech blah blah.
Wet and rainy
cloudy skies.
This is home
and perfectly right.
Summer sun
is not for me.
Give me rain and moss
and peat.

Another heatwave is headed in.  The last handful of days have been so nice, with lots of cloudy skies and rain, the earth has become spongy and soft again and the air is filled with the cool humidity that soothes my lungs.

At least this upcoming heatwave looks to be relatively short.

IMG_8865Food Coma

Munchies
Crunchies
So much food
eating your emotions
is just
no good.
Food baby carried
just don’t touch
gotta lie down
I ate too much.

IMG_3436Watch the Hooves

How
can something
so beautiful
be so terrifying?
I don’t understand
this fear I feel
and yet
their beauty
still shines through.
Gentle creatures
my ass.

IMG_4603The Invitation

A quiet rustle
a whisper beacons
“come and play”
it says to me.
Instinct warns
“do not go in”
but the Faery dance
will soon begin.
In I delve
to dance and play
and while away
another day.

IMG_6461The Unexpected

Everyday
you see the trains
as loud rumbles
shake the earth
and screaming breaks
scratch at the brain.
And yet do you ever
really look?
Open your eyes
and see
unexpected artistry
and humor
that waits for thee.
