Family time



                       There's nothing quite like a family
                                to celebrate holiday times;
                            I wish that all of your gatherings
                                were as memorable as mine.

Bubble games?



              It could be a snowball game among friends, -
                      or David attacking  Goliath again?

Dem bones



                      Well now that it's over, what can we say?
                  Let's eat up the scraps and enjoy the next day!

Thanks



                          With all of the beauty around us,
                           and the multiple joys of living,
                    it's hard to convey what to do or to say,
                       to express a heartfelt Thanksgiving.

After-glow




                                  Now all we have left to remember the rain
                             is a puddle, - a different story:
                       She offers some quiet to follow the riot,
                         and lets the moon show off her glory.

Drop pop?



                     So old man rain has waved us goodbye,
                but he's left a few drops to remember him by,

Chilly



           ….  and before this procession of trees gets old,
                here's what they look like when they get cold.

Rain forest



                   For those who have not seen wet trees before
                     we proffer this option to see a few more.

Re-model


                
                   Well yes, of course you've seen them before 
                                A tree is a tree is a tree.
           But now, for a change, since we've gotten some rains,
                         they can change their identity!

To a raindrop


    
                     Oh how we welcome your dazzling drops
                            when our lands are dying of thirst ;
                 but oh how we'll change if your deluge of rain
                              causes the dams to burst!

Stalkers?






                        Who can these grisly monsters be,
                           with all of their jagged faces?
                       and why are they coming here for me,
                          why don't they go other places?

Dock seen



                              I saw you preening on the dock ,
                               were you practicing for ballet?
                              or if your passion is for fashion,
                               you'd surely triumph any day!

Hot spot?


                         Well  yes, I know we are different,
                                 not quite the style of today;
               but with suns beating down and no shelter around,
                         we find it's much cooler this way.

Rose reflections



                           I like to look back at my fellows,
                            and share their bright company;
                      but the sharing is real when I can feel
                             their shadows dancing on me.

Offspring


                         I had a big rock and I dropped it
                         and couldn't believe what I saw;
              he was such a big guy and they such small fry,
                           and  all of them prettier than pa!

Wallflower?






Start with some interesting squiggles and curves,
add some lines to steady it all;
 leave some blank space to give it some grace, -
then see if it works on the wall.

Uplift



                          I know my house needed an uplift,
                         but they didn't say what that was for.
                Now all of that paint makes me look what I ain't, - 
                             and I can't go out of my door!

Books unlimited



                            Most people like to read them,
                              others might just take a look;
                        Whoever the buyer, I surely admire
                          how much you can do with a book!

Wayne's game



          There was a time when we worshipped John Wayne,
                          cuz he and his gun were one;
            but now, in our age,Wayne's no longer the rage,
                         now can we stop loving the gun?

Passed past



                     When I saw the zeppelin sail by today,
                      I remembered their hopes in the past;
                 and  to see them today serving tourists at play,- 
                       how the hope of the past has passed!

Vision



                               They say I need glasses,
                                it would help me to see;
                                    but I can see this, -
                                what an interesting tree!

Art Lesson



               "Where do you start on a new piece of art?"
                         "Could be just a big splash of blue."
                    "Then where do you go?" 
                            " Oh, you never know"
                        "Then how do you know when you're through?"

Day's adieu



                     When the sun goes to rest on the hilltop,
                             it doesn't just slip out of sight;
                      it sends out a few flares as if to declare
                            its transcendence over the night.

Nice Digs!


                          I must say I like this apartment, 
                         the walls have a nice subtle hue,
           and with that green chair they've placed for me there,
                        I can sit and enjoy the great view!

Message?




                   It should be a message of passionate love,
                          on its way to a dear valentine;
                    don't tell me it's just a beat up old bloom,
                         that happened to drop off the vine.

Watch out!



                           If you think nobody is looking,
                             as you are passing through.
              you'd better take care, there are eyeballs out there
                             who are quietly watching you.

surf study


                                I usually spend my life racing,
                          just pounding and roaring through space;
                     so it gives me a smile to sit back for a while,
                              and get a close look at my face.

Foot steps



                            I saw these two prints heel to toe on the walk,
                          it was weird, when I tried to review it;
                   just try it some day, fix your feet just that way,
                               I'll wager you couldn't  do it!

Puzzling….



                                This is a jigsaw puzzle?  
                         with the parts all cut out this way ??
                    What kind of mind would invent this design,
                      and who, in their right mind, would play??

Final flair


                                  I know it's a bit audacious
                                    to show myself off as I do,
                    but, seeing my friends all reaching their ends,
                            made me want to shout out my adieu.
