My Grandson

Something New...Ebay Auctions..

I'm trying something new today
because I've had a bout of writer's block lately

So I'm off to have a little fun
and when my money is gone I'm done

I'm a buyer; not a seller

Do not be paralyzed by the difficulties
the possibilities are endless
All that is needed is to overcome the unforeseen
FEAR is the mind killer

Paralyzed and need more information?

S.S.D.D.

Locked up again
This a.m.
Reaching for my pain meds what a chore
It's really becoming a bore
Minutes pass on the clock
Waiting for the pain to stop
When that time comes
I'll be able to move some
Play bumper walker around the house
Trying to be quiet as a mouse
After all it's three in the morning
A giggle lets out as I hear snoring
Around the corner and down the hall
Trying hard not to crash into the wall
Made it to my destination
Closed the door to the loo of anticipation

Forsaken

Since I haven't heard from you in years
I will shed no more tears
To think we were once good pals
You must have found other gals
To feed your need
My heart will no longer bleed
For a closely held friendship I once cherished
That you placed on the pyre to perish
It is indeed sad to say
The great loss I feel on this day
Don't you see
Why have you forsaken me

Stay The Course

Today I turned fifty-five
Regardless of my healths' nose-dive
I'm happy as a clam
Even though my poetry was caught up in a scam
I stay the course
To muster up the force
To continue on with the everyday activities
The pain causing captivity
I feel I'm a burden to everyone around me
No cure unfortunately

Passing The Buck

I have so much to say
Not enough time let's pray
For health and wellness for all ones sake
Oh My Gosh! they made a mistake
In ones diagnosis of the strain
So that's why there's so much pain
Take two of these
If you please
Don't call us in the morning
My pain is soaring
There is nothing left in the can
The buck being passed again and again
Follow the white rabbit
How far down that hole must one go

Adoptive Family

Drifting out to sea
Drifting effortlessly
Messages are coming back to me
One giant wave spat it back out to me
My letters go unanswered yet I stay the course
By keeping in touch I feel like I've just got kicked by a horse
I then realize I would never see them again it's just an empty nest
Now I've been punched in the chest
They left me to fend for myself unaware of my state
Health failing I should have known better now it's too late

Curveball

Double plot you see
For him and me
He's twelve feet under
I'm kicking myself for that blunder
At thirty seven I became a widow
With a seven year old in tow
I had a great job and a brand new condo
How was I to know
Body now shattered and I'm on my last nerves
Life throws a lot of curves
No longer a viable entity
Not wanting any pity
When it's my turn to meet the Reaper
I'll just close my peepers

The Rest Home

I am so glad to hear from you
Every day I wake up blue
If my siblings would've had their way
You would have been lost to me forever and a day
This is how I truly feel
They lack compassion reciting it's no big deal
To watch me fall to my knees
Begging them not to do this please
Which fell on deaf ears
My cheeks are blood stained tears
You are unaware of their treachery
Loss of blood could send me to the cemetery
As the back of my shirt turns bright red with blood
From the stabbing blows that came down with a thud
The white noise makes itself known
Sending me into the abyss of the codone

Sleepover

I hold friendship very dear
Especially one of twenty years
Not being able to have that kind ever before
Moving constantly what a bore
Loosing childhood friends
Recalling their tragedies at the end
An entire family wiped out
Save one by a sleepover we shout
That drunken driver will never know
How much damage he caused when he lost control
He not only lost his life
He also took his new wife
Along with them the family of my best friend
Now at age eleven
She is an orphan
