Muse Blues

I can't write today
there's nothing here
my muse has gone
she's disappeared

I fear she's taking
a long trip where
no homework waits
with glassy stare

Until she's back
I'll find no play
I'll have to study
day to day

But she'll return
when school is done
punishing me with
tongueless runs
(sigh)

Easter Trump

Peeves

weeds with thorns
on my bare feet
running outside for a minute

kitchen garbage
overfilled
late for work

overnight dirty dishes
in the sink
wanted coffee

light in the garage
burned out
at night

tv whispering
while I'm trying to sleep
work tomorrow

invisible toys
with sharp corners
waiting on the floor

no dog food left
at midnight
hungry dog

windows burn your fingers
in the middle of summer
living in the desert

forgetting to pay the water bill
it's 4:55 p.m. on shut-off day
beg for mercy

two teens
learning to cook
Hamburger Helper -- again

100 socks
in the clean laundry bag
no matches

four new hairbrushes
pink green blue black
none in the bathroom

lick my dry lips
again
no lip lotion

garbage can in the middle of the yard
full of spring clippings
garbage truck speeds away

soda cans, KFC wrappers, plastic cups
high school lunches over the wall
into my back yard -- grrrr

trampoline 60 pound maximum
two teenaged girls and two teenaged boys
trying to jump the California Pepper Tree

one bike two bike
red bike blue bike
nestled under my rose bushes

but

my family, my friends, my mom
trumps them all

Happy Easter

Lucid Lit Lines -- Write about Thursday and New Year's Next

Thursday's here
Thursday's gone
one after another
all year long

Monday's blue
Tuesday's green
Wednesday's late
Friday's mean
Saturday and Sunday
are just a tease
do what you can
ride on the breeze

but Thursdays ring
the week in right
till Thursday's end
New Year's night

Dance

Dance Death Dance
it's your day
today you choose
today you play

Dance Death Dance
do what you will
and so you reign
all else is nil

Dance Death Dance
'cause it will come
your day will end
you'll set your sun

Life will wake
and you will sleep
Dance Death Dance
Weep Death Weep
