I wake up,
the sun is shining
the new day brings
hope.
“Bring on the day,” I say.
“You will fail today,” says the little voice on my shoulder.
“Ha!” I laugh. “I know who I am. I know my plan. I will conquer the day!”
I affirm boldly.

One Little Tree
photo by MM Lee
I am one little tree
one little tree as you can see
as you can see I stand alone
I stand alone where my seed was sown
my seed was sown downhill from the rest
the rest of the trees are up by the crest
up by the crest they share water and sun
water and sun I get since I’m only one
I’m only one to stand against the gale
against the gale sometimes I want to fail
I want to fail when I’m alone during this test
during this test I have no guard like those by the crest
by the crest with all the rest has some perks
some perks but also a few quirks
a few quirks so it’s all right with me
all right with me to be one little tree.
Farewell Facebook
Facebook, you evil genius, you.
How clever of you to work your way into my heart
until I’m addicted to you
So, please understand, the time has come for us to part.
If I Said Goodbye
If I said goodbye, bye, bye –
would you even cry, cry, cry?
If I said goodbye, bye, bye –
would your eyes be dry, dry, dry? Continue reading

Fall Colors

I drove through the canyon
while the fall colors bloomed.
My eyes feasted on the sights –
red trees, purple trees, golden trees.
Poke = Love (in my dictionary anyway)
Hey there –
you looked a little sad today.
So I –
thought I’d send some love your way.
Priorities
Having a bad day –
feeling a little blue?
Of course we can talk –
I’m always here for you!
A Random Thought
Anger begets external destruction.
Fear begets internal destruction.
Hope begets internal construction.
Love begets external construction.

High School Crush
So, I see you’re in the news
you just can’t lay off the booze
your life is a big wreck
looks like it’s gone all to heck
since school.
