If I were to write
of a trip to the stars,
a planetary venture,
to Venus and Mars,

My heart would race,
as we began to lift off.
A bumpy ride, Not,
so, I'll only scoff.

A cat, a canary,
and vagabond flea,
decided to travel,
the world to see.

Boarding a ship,
sailing to be,
flea on the cat,
the canary free,

First leg complete,
as related to me,
a tropical port,
many adventures to be.

Off to the zoo,
admission was free.
Cages were sad,
a sad sight to see.

Why aren't these,
cages open to thee?
Open the cages,
let them roam free.

Using my old
rule of thumb,
finding this writing,
puzzling and dumb.

A Crow and Owl
went to school,
to learn of nature
and to clarify a rule.

Hoot, said the Owl,
when do we begin?
Caw, said the Crow,
I'm smarter, you can't win.

The Owl said, I fly,
by day but mostly night
when crows are asleep
and out of sight.

The Crow said nothing then,
but mumbled, ah shoot,
I'm letting you know,
I don't give a hoot.

Cracks in the windows,
dirt on the floor.
Hasn't been swept,
in a year or more.

Spiders in the corners,
house flies, on the sill.
Needs a good cleaning,
I suspect I will.

Not really a home,
not anymore,
it just sits vacant,
with space galore.

When left is right,
when being alone,
should right be left,
to come back home?

Dark clouds are passing,
up above, quite high.
Wishing I was a bird,
into the air I'd fly.

To soar amongst clouds,
with my dream to fly,
If I wished upon a star,
"Why oh why, can't I?"

Eating lunch, at memory care.
A bowl of Lentil soup,
while the drawstring of
my hoody is in my soup,
but not discovering until later.
Embarrassing, to say the least.

No Ode to tomorrow,
which never came,
when yesterday and today,
forgot its name.

"When I say the word “Amazon,” what is the first thing that comes to mind? Okay, I figured you’d probably say Amazon.com, the giant online retailer. But believe it or not, there is another Amazon that has nothing to do with next-day delivery of sporting goods, pet food, or wireless headphones...... I’m talking about the Amazon rainforest."...

Oh, Winter times,
extra eating I berate,
for I must try anew,
having to lose weight.

Writing so much tripe,
so many useless words,
my brain is a dead zone,
this happening is absurd.

I reach out to you
my thoughts to take.
May I have some relief,
please give me a break.
