We were gathered by his bedside. As promised, we were sending him out with laughter and telling our favorite Jimmy Shambo stories.
Crystal brought out the Tequila, and Bodine stumbled in the front . . . more

Compromise, walking in the other's shoes or simply the ability to hold there may be another opinion as valid as one's own, that is what we need.

What if a feather lit upon my shoulder
sticking there
Joined by a hundred others,
Could I finally ride on air?
What if a tear from our Madonna
dropped into my eye
Would I be blessed and for all of humanity . . . more

You speak
I inhale your mouth...
supple lips moving,
your words I do not hear.
Your eyes
pools of wonder
I wish to dive in
as
you speak,
I do not hear
your words.
As in a dream
you smile
pearly teeth . . . more

Wednesday night in our little town of New Franklin, a police detective died.
He'd been drinking and beating his wife and, as his sister was on the phone with the 911 operator, put his wife in a choke . . . more

It's another misty morning
And the clover field is deep
Came outside to clear the cobwebs
From my head of last night's sleep
Saw your face outside my window
Peering in before . . . more

This week has been terrible
Wonderful and tragic
Death took my dear friend's hand
Lead him to the magic
From Sunday to Saturday
Grieving laughing weeping
Life in a tie dye fog
Something like walk-sleeping . . . more

Ahhh, laundry's hung so I make for the hammock. (Little afternoon respite from my workload.)
Clouds lazily float across my view through the trees and a few birds sing appreciatively.......

Two beautiful people who love her very much!

Running feet jump and hold on

Peek a boo, Sweetie

Butterfly kisses

Reaches up, I pull him in
Head on my . . . more

Tick tick
clock speaks
measured, precise
Tick tick
time moves
to where?
Tick tick
dog sleeps
I sigh
and wonder
where are those minutes
just passed by?
Are they really gone
or
am I caught up in
illusion... . . . more

The trash is overflowing
You throw more on the ground
When I come home I'm bitched at
for fruit flies all around
Cardboard container empty
beneath computer seat
It's not mine, but it's my . . . more

I long to be held
Husband
pay attention to me
I know you love me
there is never a doubt
Yet you are a busy man
I love you
you are my heart's desire
I'd hold you if you'd let me
I know you . . . more

Barberton, Ohio is known as The Chicken Capital of The World.
Seriously.
Why? Because Barberton Chicken tastes so damn good! Is it in the raising of the chicken? The seasoning? . . . more

The morning rays of Saturday
Stream through my window pane
Annointing me in golden glow
Etherial champaign
From perfume bath I rise and smile
Steam mingling with the light
A ghostly dance on shining skin . . . more

I snuggle close

We are friends

I brush floating hair

Your eyes spoke volumes
As we smiled and "remembered the time"
It was my privelege to gently
rub your tired flesh with . . . more

Heron swoops up
flies home
Beaver comes up for air
Fireflies flicker in time to
peepers and crickets
You lay me down
by the river
on the soft clover grass
Summer's scent in you hair as you
Kiss . . . more
