During the course of 2014
We’ve lost friends and partners
Even some dreams
More losses in foreign battles
Others to domestic war
Live free (like me) or die
Screamed the American folk lore
Made it to the wrap-up
Been lucky You and I
Hopefully moving forward again
Let’s kiss this bitch goodbye

Unrealistic Expectations
A closing story
Swift and gentle
Consistent with
Her view of life
Moving on
No other option
Expecting time to
Dull pain’s knife
Lulu gently died at home on October 19. Moving on way too soon. Long may she run.
Diminishing Returns
She fades on
The easy times close
Only hard days now remain
Dark choice growing near
How many to allow
Measured time versus pain
…
Embracing what there is
We patiently
Wait for the sign

Not All Change Is Good
While once
Looking Forward
Gained Laughter
In the moment
Lately
I find myself
Weeping over
Loss to come
The Angry Little Poem for Today:
One Thing About Change
Much like the laws of physics
The threads of change
Don’t care
About convenience
The Trailer:
Passive Risk Aggressive
When your crappy insurance
stops paying
That’s when everyone
else starts

And now, a related video from a new series – Fantasy Press Conferences, Answers we should have heard. The angry poem appears, briefly, in this video.
Golden Moments 1
Should know by now
Walking a retriever in spring
Involves mud
Take golden to woods
Walk till completely covered
With mud
The ride home
Leaves car scented with
Wet dog
Bathe her quickly
Trying to get it all then
Listen carefully
Since the most
Interesting thoughts seem
To visit
During golden moments
Waiting around for the dog
To dry
Our Early Autumn
Sunday morning early September
Sixty one sunny
Brisk breeze
Blowing
Doors windows all open
To the autumn
About to
Awaken
Lulu asleep in studio
Dreams of running
Through fallen
Leaves
