Perle Champion

simple ideas
true upon the lined page
saved for tomorrow’s

lessons yet unlearned
marching cadence armed for war
moths still drawn to flame

​the gauntlet was thrown
spring waited watched and listened
the very wind held

back his very breath
no leaf nor creature dared to
stir lest winter stay

Oh my to do list

I’ve ignored you royally

My only excuse is

Friday and pleasurable

Things  lured me away

It all started Thursday night with open house at PepperPlace.  Bought a great magnet for the fridge which at $6 dollars was a bargain as the much larger painting was $325.  Then off to Frontera’s open house for great Mexican appetizers, more to drink and I found these wonderful metal crafted roses.

This morning after a leisurely breakfast and reading on the balcony, I attended a free seminar at Hoover Library on making your dreams reality, pizza was served. Later off to Forest Park for shopping at Zoe’s – got a sparkly hot pink beret.   Then to Naked Art to check out the unique Christmas ornaments. and then the best, we were off to Daniel Day Gallery for their Christmas Art show and terrific food, good conversations with friends and Sally Belle crooning on stage.

I’m with Scarlet on that to do list  ‘I’ll think about it tomorrow. tomorrow is another day.’  Night y’all.

summers loosed her hold
miasmal humidity
now diamonds strewn
cross the browning grass
shimmering in morning sun
mind candy hearts balm

I never really
heard the knocking at the door
destiny waltzed by
old manuscripts lie
fallow In dark drawers dust motes
only sunshine kissed

happiness is not
a continuous stream, it comes
in draughts, drink deeply
savor every one
of memory’s warm embers
banked against the storm
