day 3551-day 3553

July 9, 2019

day 3551
behind the branches,
the perfect shape of the sun
cutting through the clouds

July 11, 2019

day 3552
the problems are big,
but we went to the damn moon –
we can figure this.

July 15, 2019

day 3553
I looked at the clouds,
seeing possibilities,
portents, in the shapes

 

day 3541-day 3550

June 13, 2019

day 3541
I hurried to each,
making sure things were on track,
and running smoothly

June 16, 2019

day 3542
the bride and groom smiled;
they might have had sunbeam faces,
for the light they shone

June 19, 2019

day 3543
panes speckled with rain
TV squawks, washing, drying;
doing my laundry

June 20, 2019

day 3544
serendipity:
in opposing left-turn lanes,
a face that I’ve missed

June 23, 2019

day 3545
a dim dining room,
two couples, with four stories –
powerful mem’ries
–
each of them traveled
through time, as they told the tale
of getting engaged.

June 27, 2019

day 3546
wet spots on the trail
meant agility training,
dirty running shoes

June 30, 2019

day 3547
the bicyclists neared,
I leaned towards them and pressed
the shutter button

July 3, 2019

day 3548
pushing through the grass,
keeping my eyes on the trail,
cool dew on my legs

July 6, 2019

day 3549
seated by “his” lake,
gathering in the moments
before Moving Day
—
his wife suggested
thirty-six years was enough.
I knew his answer.
—
I could tell the wind
and the waves and the decades
were what he wanted

July 7, 2019

day 3550
pushing through the grass,
lifting my legs up high, and
trying not to trip

 

 

day 3531-3540

Mar 28, 2019

day 3531
“don’t know who she was,
sister, fiancé, or who…
but there was no friction…”

April 9, 2019

day 3532
I sat in the dark,
watching the stories be told;
how would I tell them?

April 20, 2019

day 3533
I look at that pic,
remembering the good things
and how it went wrong

April 23, 2019

day 3534
I knew it would hurt,
but I needed the workout,
so grabbed the pitchfork

May 6, 2019

day 3535
on a sunny day,
we ran, walked, smiled, were thankful
for the hero’s life

May 16, 2019

day 3536
the right song comes on…
and your spirit can be raised
or smooshed so quickly

May 22, 2019

day 3537
looked in the mirror…
and told myself once again:
you gotta work out.

June 5, 2019

day 3538
in a few minutes,
with the wind shifting, the fog
was heading inland

June 10, 2019

day 3539
sitting in my car,
looking at the backlit leaves,
seeing their structure

June 11, 2019

day 3540
feel my heavy eyes,
want a nap so bad, but first
must finish this job

 

 

 

day 3521-day 3530

Holee cow…I can’t believe I haven’t updated this list in so long! GEESH!!

Nov 13, 2018

day 3521
her hug was warm, long,
and made me feel welcome;
lessened my worry

Nov 27, 2018

day 3522
body felt sluggish,
but I kept moving one foot
after the other

Dec 11, 2018

day 3523
looked around my room…
if this is a reflection
of me, then ooooh boy…

Dec 13, 2018

day 3524
I know it’s winter;
through the now-bare trees, one birch,
again visible.

Jan 11, 2019

day 3525
days are lengthening,
and with that, my energy
is increasing, too.

Jan 30, 2019

day 3526
books as metaphors,
how do you start a new one,
if the last ain’t done?

Feb 14, 2019

day 3527
each ride, a story;
some more involved, some quiet;
the constant is me

Feb 19, 2019

day 3528
I wasn’t the first,
but at that moment, lakeside,
I was the only.

Mar 8, 2019

day 3529
lake and sky blending,
but through a small opening,
candy-red sunrise

Mar 26, 2019

day 3530
each person I meet,
has a lifetime of stories,
no matter their age

Troy’s Book Club: The Secret History of Wonder Woman

This book, a detailed telling of the very history behind the creation of the iconic comic book character, Wonder Woman, …should have been a page-turner…but for me, it was more of a “turn a few pages every week or two.” The story of the man and women behind WW’s creation is unusual and intriguing and very “non-standard” in terms of relationships. And I read it, and it was neat…and the book should have been better. That’s all I got.

Go get it at the Library or Boswell Books.
