waking
uncertain
a buzz in my ear

does not know the damage
he causes

asleep on a hammock
I should hear the buzzing
of my life changing

little black specks
hatch into my life

on a snowy day
the sun appeared and cheered me
everlasting hugs**
Over 20 years ago,
a friend, who has since died,
told me the white baby’s breath
flowers each signified a hug
for when I needed a friend ~
she’d always be near ====

Photo copywrite 2014 Marilyn Severance Garnett
With Marilyn’s permission, I made a photo with a tag for the first generation of nurses in this family that is now starting the fourth generation of serving the families of Maine, USA, with tender, loving and knowledgeable care. I trained and worked with Marilyn… a super super nurse… a fine family tradition. I remembered when her grand-daughter, Emerald, was born when I saw the prompt.
You all may chuckle… my computer is in the shop and on a temporary machine… got it going late Monday…just figured out how to get into my blog ! Hope to be more regular with my posts again… they are giving it a good overhaul. It was when I locked myself out forgetting or mistyping my passwords that I had to get help. First at the Senior College computer center and then at the store I bought the laptop… they know me well, and treat me well … smiles.

play one’s in the center
children’s laughter

children’s up to any age
… dice game for all
====rolling on river
high and fast roll the dice
river vultures drool
1 decay
winter road decay
beware sink holes and pot holes
mechanics delight
roads winter wear
cars undersides salty rot
rims bend, tires tire
2 drain
spring prom gowns
couples have new dance moves
chaperons gutter minds
4 dawn
rooster announces
daybreak peaks over distant hills
starts much to early
horizons first light
pink yellow orange parfait
mother looks at clock
5 down
down sizing
bain of old age
dump man’s delight
down town
all dressed up ~ window shopping
stiletto heels tapping
….
back in the day,
a young lady or a woman of any age,
would dress up to go shopping…
white gloves and all.
Hard to imagine how times have changed,
but will always remember the sound
of steel stiletto heels on the sidewalk
