Framed for the Daily Post
“It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame.”
Framed Ocean View
A perfect hideaway
With a view
Towards the bay
A framed display
Only for today

“Morning comes whether you set the alarm or not.” Ursula K. Le Guin
Early Morning on a Saturday for the Daily Post
Too early
Airport calling
Surely
You wouldn’t want to
Miss the flight
It took so long
And one
Sleepless night
To get there
Where ever
You now wanted
To go
Breathe in
Breathe out
Let the morning air
Cool and thin
Hitting your skin
Clear all doubt
For soon
Sea and sun
Will replace
The mundane
And it’s not even
A Monday!
Get the pun?

“Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.” Michael Jordan
Fun
Fun
Outside
In the sun
Bring on
Your hon’
Because, today
Nothing
Get’s done
Because,
Today is
Reserved
Only for
Fun

Poetry, Day Ten: Future
Could it be our last day of Intro to Poetry already?! Let’s keep our spirits up by focusing on whatever it is that’s coming next. Whether it’s about tomorrow, next October, or the year 2345, let today’s poem be inspired by your vision of the future. (Fears, hopes, and plans are equally acceptable, of course. As are robots!)
“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves” William Shakespeare
Road to Nowhere
The future
Now uncertain
When removed is
The safety curtain
No time
For bloopers
Nor reruns
Used is
The last dime
For a trip
To the sun
First
Summer
Then fall
No bummer
Just a ball
Future
Unfolds
We are
On a road
To nowhere
Travelling fast
Forgetting
The past
It would not
Have lasted
Anyway
Future
Unknown
Or so
We were told
Never mind
Just be kind
Your place
You will find
Past, present
All in imperfect
Time still
Well spent
Now
Heads up
Finish
Your cup
Legs, arms
Tucked inside
Let the slide
Your way
Down guide

Narrow Surface
Tiptoeing
On this narrow stick
Easy going
Because, it really
Is not so thick!

Gate
“Open the gate!
Open the gate!”
The crowd went wild
Like a petulant child
The boat was arriving
No time for driving
“Got to get on board!
Because I left my Ford
On the docks
And it’s locked!”
And finally
To borrow a quote,
On a slow boat
To meet my privacy

Light at the end of the Tunnel
Every tunnel
Has its light
At the end
Of the funnel

Luxury Flat
Stuck between
A rock
And a hard place
– That’s
The flat
She stays in

Peep Hole
When you look inside
Try not to get stuck
Because you never know
What you may find!

Sweet Cherries for The Daily Post
“Life is not a bowl full of cherries, there’s good and bad stuff” Fuzzy Zoeller
Sweet Cherries
Juicy and sweet
Quite the treat
When on the beat
In the summer’s heat
And well worth
