the graduate
allergic to her bouquet
of dandelions

#inkMine

carelessly disguised
the usurper-in-chief

#inkMine

The older I get
the more I notice
that later is accelerating
and arriving
sooner than we want

Makes me ponder
all the time wasted
incessantly fretting about
the cruel clock on the wall
we let dictate our lives

#inkmine #poetry #poem #amwriting

lull in the conversation
Grandpa is left
alone again

#inkMine

I like my onions pickled
with the caveat attached
that they be not consumed
if I anticipate a potential
kissing session
with a willing she participant

The breath mint
has yet to be created
that can mask the pungent odor
of this romance repellent

#FromOneLine #inkmine #poetry

When you stumble
across Amazing
take a break
from the mundane
and admire the extraordinary

Wrap your tired arms
around this moment

Ponder the wonder

Take a mental picture

Store it to memory

Cause when
the magic show ends
who knows
if and when
it will ever pass
your way again

heavily leveraged
the new aristocracy

#inkMine

reading the fine print
disclaimers and caveats
oh my!

#inkMine

stirring the last straw
