A Change of Sails
A change in time, a change in place
A change of jobs, a change of pace
change your style or change your friends
change your path and change the end
Change for a 20, change for a 10
Change for the bus, ‘Change please, friend’
A change of homes, a change of kin
A change of friends you never win
a change of schools, begin again
A change of age, a change of space
A change of morals, A change of rules
A change of sails, blowing you into the unknown ~Ethan Allen
What do you think of the new digs? AWESOME work by PrincessJenn right?
A Slice of Pi
Pi-ku Haiku:
Lost an hour
Found
A late sunset
From OSI via A Challenge for Pi Day: Write Your Own Pi-ku:
Today is March 14, 3/14, 3.14, or as it’s known to many unlikely to have other plans, Pi Day. I’m learning about a few ways Pi Day is celebrated by so-called mathletes. There are pie contests and pizza parties. Those who can recite more than just three digits do so out loud to no one in particular, and the Exploratorium in San Francisco holds an all-day celebration. And some people, we understand, write pi-ku—haiku about pi. I say we take it one step nerdier and make new rules. You don’t need to love math to love Pi Day!

One Nation In Struggle
| It’s Friday again And it has been a long week Surviving was key |
| Key to what, you say? And that I don’t know for sure Lost sight of the prize |
| So hands on the wheel Keep straight on the path of life Is all I can do |
| Heading is unknown Just following the white line To see where it leads |
| So many people Around me are struggling too Suburban combat |
| How’d we get to here Where hard workers now suffer And scramble to win |
| Call it what you will May be a recession or Just a depression |
| No matter the tag Consequences are for all Humanity = one |
| What good are leaders If they don’t see their people Or notice their plight |
| Words and ideas Don’t put food on the table Action is called for |
| Political shame Covers both sides of the fence Reality lost |
| Their lack of conduct Leaves the planet in peril At risk and alone |
| My voice is but one Not loud or even noticed But I call them out |
| Provide for your kin Stop governing for money And DO something now |
| Or pack up your bags Go home, head hung in shame Return your stipend |
| Someone new will come Is my fervent wish and hope Inaction no more |

Spring, The Tease of Summer
I cast aside a layer of mulch and seasons, only to unearth her aura Her spirit dancing ahead, taunting “Catch me if you can”
Available for Nose Transplant
| Two weeks I have fought Yet this cold is kicking my ass I surrender now |
| Pain in the sinus I know it is infection Am in denial |
| Would hit up the doc 30 bucks is all I got Till the next payday |
| Will use it for gas And just hope/pray for the best In regards to schnozz |

Where For Art Thou, Poetry?
National Poetry Month is coming to an end, thus closing this chapter of my life known as NaPoWriMo. A poem a day for 30-days! It was fun. I appreciate all your support. I don’t think I will be able to part with my poetry crush very easily, so don’t be surprised if I continue to sometimes annoy beguile you with my poems.
Only One Day Left Of Lovely April
Day 29. One more. Over and out.
A Gift That Keeps Giving
| A moment in time never to be forgotten As close today as it was 24 years ago Your cry so weak and timid Yet bursting in my ears like one hundred fireworks Going off inside my cranium Struggle you did as you emerged I held you so tightly, but so shortly What is this? I thought Six long hours later We have grown together I could ask for nothing more in a child I never thought there could be more Happy Birthday, Nannygoat. |
