accumulate information
over the course of years
learn the rules to follow
then find the exception
then find another
guess there are no rules
Poetry
I’m working on writing a thousand poems. I started in April 2015.
Poem #267
starburst glitter
purple and blue
a floating feeling
the best is here
awe and admiration
precipice of greatness
could fall
but don’t care
teeter over danger
sparkling somersault
stick the landing
legendary
Poem #266
daylong daydream
end it on the porch
with him in my arms
white paws and curiosity
perfectly content
Poem #265
numbers on the brain
spreadsheets for joy
the future is exciting
tingling on my mind
Poem #264
amble around the living room
listen to sad songs
talk about our lives
suck on lollipops
switch the music up
imagine our successes
dance like old men
make plans for fun
do our model walks
fall onto the couch
watch the reflections of us
feel like we’re the only ones
Poem #263
my little lovely
sitting atop his new throne
little paws hang over the edge
tail curls around him luxuriously
I admire your poise and dignity
Poem #262
shy and demure
bobcat moseys
through tall yellow grass
eyes are watchful
animal! animal!
subtle intensity
quick chase
bobcat eats
Poem #261
pink burn on my wrist
a flattened isosceles triangle
small and not so delicate
it speaks of trial and error
triumph of a mechanical nature
we’re buddies
Poem #260
a smile that just stays
live a whole life in an hour
what a lovely experience
Poem #259
thrust limbs in all directions
move hips in a circular pattern
whip hair back and forth
get dizzy and fall onto the bed
raise arms into the air
dance while holding them up there
push off the bed like a hinge
stand on tiptoes and look down
revel in the towering tall
never be sad ever again
even though that’s impossible
