The Nest

Made of twigs, perched high in the sky 

atop a smoke stack, not hidden from thine eye.

The twigs they poke, let in the smoke,

it hurts and I feel blind.

 

Safety is fleeting in the nest,

it's positioning is quite volatile.

I'm going, you're coming, I'm coming, you're going,

yet we watch over it all the while.

 

I know it will not last forever,

the wind will eventually blow it down.

But not until all that we…

Creative Writing Challenge #19-"I don't make New Year's Resolutions for myself, but one I'd like to make for someone else is...."

I would like us all to resolve to be kinder in the coming year.  Let's pretend that 9/11 happened only three months ago and we're all still in such a state of shock that we can't possibly be rude or nasty or dismissive of each other.

Song; Don't Let It Snow Blues

Don't Let It Snow Blues

1) Punxatawny Phil didn’t see his shadow

So he predicted an early spring

Been freezing and snowing since last December

That groundhog doesn’t know a thing

Chorus

I shovel on Sunday, but more falls on Monday

When will this misery end?

We get a break for a day or two

Then the snow starts falling again

2) The Farmer’s Almanac used to be on target

And I believed what I…

Cold and damp and dark
All seep into aching bones.
I can not get warm.

Granny in the Snow

'Granny in the Snow'

\

Granny looked funny

Layin' there in the snow

I don't think she ended up

Where she really wanted to go

When she stepped down the stairs

To feed the kitty cats

She tripped over my snowman

And fell on her face-

'Kersplat!'........



I was laughin' so hard

I couldn't stop

Watchin' granny roll around

With the snowman on top

The cats got scared

And jumped into… Continue

I cannot promise
That anything will not change
Except for my love.

Shiver : Haiku stuck on the fridge

Between rain and sun

Skin shivers with the thunder

Of her sleeping breath.

"Some Things" - by my brother, Richard T. Krause

"Some things drift away in the wind, everyone watching it in awe.
Some things drift away in the water, everyone looking in wonder.
And some things, well some things stay put to be seen and never forgotten."

- Richard T. Krause

Crow cries "Caw Caw Caw"
Under a dark silver sky
And then flies away.

Also my ears and my ass.

And I'm very excited.
A new day awaits.

My Old Dog

'My Old Dog'

I said good bye to an old friend last week. My dog Allie. A mutt with a crippled foot, sort of a long haired dachshund but not quite. She found me in downtown Cushing nearly 11 years ago and I took her home with me. She added much to my life that I have yet to fully fathom.

One week after taking her home I had a heart attack and in the ensuing weeks and months while Karen was working herself to death to nurse me back to health and keep the house and business afloat, this… Continue

A brass whale can't swim.

A leaded glass bird can't fly.

I'm the right stuff now.

Talking to one another...

I posted this today on my Facebook page and Lisa suggested I posted it here, too. So, here it is:





My stomach hurts.



For better or worse, I am an emotional being. Are you familiar with the color gels used on stage lights? Those films placed over plain ol' white lights to create different colors on a stage? Emotions are the gels through which pretty much every thing comes to me or leaves from me.



Most of the time I'm alright with this. Others are too. Many… Continue
