just us

two peas in a pod
you just holding your awards
me just holding you... 🦊❤️

 

250 mile blur

no crowd to witness
his final steps of the race
just the rising sun... 🦊❤️



 

stairway to heaven

the stairway to god
is often a rocky one
one step at a time 🦊❤️


 

showing your colors

we live in a time
when the red, white and the blue
is a bit more blue 🦊❤️


 

strike a pose

atop the fence post
that bird strikes a pose for me
then just flies away 🦊❤️

 

a quiet dinner out...

what would dining be
without our trusty device
as our dinner guest? 🦊❤️

super parents

seventeen babies
and two adults to tend them
simply amazing  🦊❤️

 

long way to go

the road looks so long
seems to go on... forever
and forever more... 🦊❤️

 

complex selfie



a selfie of me
taking a picture of you
taking a picture 🦊❤️

 

shoulder to lean on

the sun warmed the bark
of that old tree you leaned on
as you looked so sad 🦊❤️


 

morning uprisings

under that big tree
the morning mist is rising
and so is the sun 🦊❤️


 

“out to the curb”

“put it on the curb...”
watching the stages of life
moving on so fast  🦊❤️

and at that moment
using his trident for traffic
the cars stopped at his command
and slowed down with the flick of a wrist
a power envious by many
to control those around them
with a gold like crown upon his head
he felt like a king
even if it was only for a day

on the way up up and away

under watchful eyes
starting small and working up
the sky’s the limit... 🦊❤️

 

creation day 7: god rested

six long days of work
a universe assembled
god rested... and smiled 🦊❤️






 

creation day 6: humans & land animals

the day before last
came humans and the land beasts
god pondered... what more?  🦊❤️




 

creation day 5: sun, moon & stars

the sun, moon and stars
know their place at night and day
god’s math made it so  🦊❤️







 

creation day 4: birds & fishes

birds way before planes
fish way before submarines
god’s patents unfold 🦊❤️




 

creation day 3: land & plants

out of the water
land arose and the plants grew
god the gardener smiled 🦊❤️

from out of darkness
light escaped and was made known

hovering over
the stillness of nothing
god was just waiting  🦊❤️





 

crossing life’s roads

it wasn’t easy
getting them across the road
but they did it... 🦊❤️

mouth open wide and screaming
silently out loud 🦊❤️

last musical chair
escapes before the song stops
no winner today!!! 🦊❤️



 

tuxedo blues

being all dressed up
and having nowhere to go
just sitting around... 🦊❤️

“please insert another 25 cents”

hard to imagine...
how did we ever survive
a cellular-less life?? 🦊❤️



 

“hey mr. telescope!!”

won’t you look my way?
i’m up here on your left
come on... take a peek!  🦊❤️

Hey diddle, diddle!
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed 
To see such sport, 
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

 

police officer

you finish your shift
a long night of patrolling
i bring you decaf 🦊❤️
