What show will play

in the sky tonight?

What pictures will

stars form with light?

Will a meteor shower

be all the rage?

Will the moon

take center stage?

Will wonders appear

before your eyes

or  will a curtain of clouds

refuse to rise?

Thanks to Rebecca Barray for this week's Wordsmith Studio Creative Prompt-Star. What's your favorite show in the sky at night?

Holiday Greetings

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May your days be filled with everything you love.

Fogged In

Fogged In

Bogged down

by the fog,

damp and dreary.

Hard to see what's

in front of me.

When the sun

shines again,

I'll have a new

appreciation

of the view.

Thanks to Rebecca Barray for this week's Wordsmith Studio Creative Prompt-Fog.

Rush Hours

Rush Hours

Spinning like wheels

Spinning like tops

We no longer take

the time to stop

at stop signs or

for red lights.

We hurry to get

to our next

destination.

Will we stop when

we get there?

Patterns

Patterns

Circles, triangles and squares,

patterns are everywhere.

They happen by

circumstance and design.

Do we recognize the

patterns in our lives?

Footprints in the Sand

Footprints in the Sand

Footprints in the sand

go every which way,

chronicling the activities

of a given day.

They go into the water

and out again,

or down the beach

for miles on end.

When the tide comes in,

they disappear.

Gone--as though

they were never here.

At Any Age

At Any Age

They were older when

I first met them,

singing and swinging

on television.

Louis and Ella,

the Count and the Duke

already had their place

in jazz history.

They were younger

when I met them

again years later,

at kiosks and in films,

in books and on You Tube.

Learning their craft and

creating the sounds

that turned them into icons.

I learned to appreciate them

 at any age.

Point of View

Point of View

The view is obscured

by cloud or crowd

or shroud of darkness.

We fill in the missing

pieces to make

the picture whole.

No longer limited by reality,

we hold on to what

we want to see.

The Passage of Time

The Passage of Time

I hear each

tick of the clock.

See a hand sweep

past the seconds.

Sunshine turns

 to moonlight.

The leaves are

blowin' away.

Will I build

another dream?

Will we walk

together again?

I hear each tick

of the clock,

marking the

passage of time.

Thanks to Sarah Turnbull for this week's Wordsmith Studio Creative Prompt-I Spy. This was kind of a "prompt scavenger hunt."  Click on the link to see the instructions. My prompts were: clock, the line-"we accordingly walked together to the parking lot from" from Hot Money by Dick Francis and the CD "Time and Love" by Laura Nyro. [Note: Since I still listen to music the old fashioned way, I picked up a stack of CDs, shuffled them three times and pulled one out.]
