rumble and flash...

 

thunder growls
in between blinding sheets
of lightning.
they tussle with
each other to see
which one will
get the last word
this time.
Rumble me timbers,
matey!

It seems...

time goes faster
every year.
Is it trying
to catch up
to make up
for lost time?
Wouldn't it be
better
to have time stand still?
Take a breather.
Look around.
Gather itself
to ponder the moment.
Who's in charge
of the current process?
Let's set up a committee.
Can we take a vote?

From Urge to Create (on my sidebar)...

 











Vincent van Gogh (Dutch 1853-1890), Cypresses, 1889, Oil on canvas - “It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.” Vincent Van Gogh

K.I.S.S. ...

write
the way you speak.
makes sense
don't you think?
writers
want readers
to understand
not have to guess
what's
being said.
speak clearly
the first time
then there's
no need to repeat. explain. define. stammer.
or wonder.

Keep it simple, sweetheart.
