Moon shines through bare trees.
Orion reclines in the sky.
Nighttime in winter.

Being You


Being You

You being you and me being me,
I often wonder what it is that you see.
What is it you like?
How do I compare?
Can I ever measure up to one so fair?

You're respected, revered, multi-talented to boot.
Am I just a novelty, only a trinket that's cute?
Enigmatic, undefined, the highest compliment, it's true.
With the questioned unasked you answered "Thank you for being you."

When You Gotta Go

'When You Gotta Go'

copyright 2010 by Rick Reiley



Dig my grave, make it shallow

Heck just lay me on the ground

Clear a path and play the fiddle

And then dance all around



I have had a good ride

So carry on with the show

I'd just as soon stay here

But when you gotta go -you gotta go



(Chorus)

When you gotta go-You gotta go

If you're gonna get there on time

I hope to see you later

In the afterglow… Continue

Rock steps that lead down
Stop at the stairs leading up
To my cozy nest.

Full moon overhead
Lights trees in shades of gray through
Air like silver fog.

"Asshat", "Hat Rack" and
"To Bed We Go" are not right.
But thanks for playing.

A little deep thinking.

To believe that human activity is the single greatest threat to life on earth tends to take on a view of absolute power, something humans have engaged in for millennia and in doing so have wrongly thought themselves omniscient. If we were actually able to control and understand a thing so much greater than ourselves I might be tempted to accept Scott Lewis’ assertion that present day extinction is linked to human activity and we are therefore solely responsible for the loss of so many of the… Continue

Wiffledust Creative Writing Challenge #10-Physically describe your favorite movie star!





He was The Little Prince, with hair “the color of gold” and a laughter that bounced from the stars. Like The Little Prince, his eternal curiosity drove him to explore and ask questions, ignoring boundaries imposed by adults who didn’t understand. This could be seen in his searching eyes, reaching up through raised eyebrows as a child looking to his father. Occasionally his unearthly wisdom betrayed his youthful persona, revealed through a… Continue

Fire-breathing monster
Eating black rocks and shitting
Electricity.

Is this clock running?
No, really - I think it stopped.
This day is over!

Miss You

I don't miss you like I did before.
I thought perhaps I'd miss you more.


The space you filled is empty now,
but still, I don't miss you.


We blossomed and were beautiful indeed.
The garden was still plagued with weeds.


The beds are empty, dead, and bare,
but still, I don't miss you.


Your life goes on much the same.
I was weary of playing…

Driving rain slick roads
Means driving delicately -
Fast but delicate.

Grateful am I.......

I'm writing this in honor of my daughter, Jaime. It's National Daughter's Week. I remember the day she was born just like it was yesterday. She was the most beautiful pink little

baby girl. I knew my life would be blessed from the day she took her

first breath. I so wanted a girl. None of us as mother's can begin to

imagine how our relationship will develop. Some things need to remain

untold for…

We can all smile while
Emotional storms blow through

summer mourner





autumn audaciously sachets its big rustley skirts of leafdom all around my home

in september the rehearsals begin

in october the orchestra files in

then suddenly the daylight dims

and the leafy chorus girls begin their can can in the wind



i prefer the corner window seat for this show

where i tuck my legs up under me just so

i can lean to the right and free my left hand

with which i color… Continue

I feel winter coming soon.
Can I hibernate?

Did you ever wonder about the people who write to I Love You I Hate You?

My spin on a one time meeting love letter.



You- Girl at Starbucks in green tank with matching eyes who ordered a Caramel Frappacino. I have noticed you there everyday at lunchtime. You must work nearby.

Me - Tall guy behind you in Eagles T-shirt who ordered the same even though I can't stand them .

I knew you were for me from the time I saw you tuck that crazy beautiful red hair behind your ear and… Continue

I know what he likes;
When to stroke and when to pause.
Love to pet my dog.
