    Seasons

    Winds of fall Take me for a ride And drop me where you may   You know my all And where I hide And every word I say   So let me drift  Without a care  Into winter's arms   When spring comes I'll shift With a loner's despair Into summer's harm

    • I like how the changing of seasons and self are merged in this. Humanity has a deep bond with nature, but many have lost sight of it

    “Everyone wants to go to heaven
    but no one wants to die.”
    **Peter Tosh

    Today is so Spring-like,
    the air, smooth with freshness,
    the grass seems greener
    stretching to reach your touch.
    And the sky, so azure
    it tastes like mountain running water.

  • Watch Your Mouth

    we weren’t allowed to curse

    always setting the good example
    whenever we repeated words heard…

    she’d softly remonstrate…
    “now now now…watch your mouth”
    but I learned very early

    • In our house it was the threat of having our mouths washed with soap if we cursed. And it only took one mouth washing to guarantee obedience to this rule. Very cool poem for day 7 of poetry month Willow -Curt

      • I never had my mouth washed with soap but my sister did once. I was always too afraid of getting in trouble to put a toe across any lines. Thank you, Curt

    • My cousin told me to say a word in front of my mother, and I didn’t know what it meant and I got slapped. Never said that again. haha at least not to her.

      • My mother swore all the time – redheaded temper. But she yelled at us if we did. Grandma taught by quiet example. I’m a veritable sailor mouth now, but then? Nope! 😂
