Job Security
The job I have is dependent on others’ misfortune…..specifically, bad weather. I’m a retiree working through a temp agency for the company I spent my career in….it pays very nicely and has been a great benefit retiree’s could tap into. We haven’t had a lot of bad weather this year, so several people...

A Challenge....Because Word Games Are Fun!
Do you think you can write Lines that make sense and count, In two ways, not just one? (See, I am down to six!) Am I mistaken In my counting here? Do you find yourself Checking syllables?

I’m watching the local news and there was a nasty confrontation at Irving City Hall today….protestors were met by a group of folks with a contrasting view, and things turned really nasty. The protestors were saying….and this is just what I got off the news blurb so I’m sure it’s just a surface skim...

Green Leaves....Haiku
Green leaves on the tree, Fluttering in the cool breeze Of a new season Green leaves on the limbs In the midst of change and death, Beginning and ending Green leaves reflecting The sun shining so warmly, They are not falling Green leaves I pull off To press in a book and keep, To save the moment...
