Headlines?


Good reviews for a job well done -
For the knowledge one has acquired,
Someone else hired
For an expert witness,
Our child.


What more could a parent want
Than for their children to be competent?
Especially in a field that they enjoy


Our child,
For an expert witness.
Someone else hired
For the knowledge ‘they’ have acquired,
Good reviews for a job well done!

Just Karma 88 for May 2016 b

‘Neem’


Mysterious morning fog
the mind gets to wander into
the midst of mist...delicate dew dances...
The fairy neem glows as delicate hands
dust off the bulbs of sleepy fireflies -
preparing the glowbugs for the
Approach of summer.

Neem (from a child’s lullaby) - a tree, see link.

Just Karma 86 for May 2016 b

Mass and Magnitude?

Distraction does, it help clear the cobwebs?
Doing things with people who care - Eases the distress
concerning those who may or may not have hidden agendas.
What use is a level head
if no one else uses the
same measurements?
Well at least with the few
or the really just one with
whom a single bridge is
Trying to be spanned?
Misinterpretations abound because of the lack of clarity
and trust - too much built up dust. More rain today, maybe
that will help? Listening to the gentle rhythm.

Some Array
(Collom Lune series)

Breakfast, errands about
Before a quiet day begins;
Taking it slow

Trading daffodil bulbs
For mushrooms and sesame seeds
A pleasant evening

Transition into night
Headache increases with weather change
Retire to rest

Midnight tolls and
Ghosts demand attention; “Look. Now!”
She actively screams

After due diligence
Putting the beast to bed...
The nightmares return

Guessing games taunt;
Surprises are not always good
Rattling one’s marrow

How responsible can
One be for another’s choices;
Divided by distance?

Breeze?
(Elfje series)

Wind
To test
The strength of
The newly built robin’s
Nest

High
Up in
The Silver Maple
That I watched her
Build

From
The safety
Of my own
Nest - all my chicks;
Flown

to watch them climb high; reaching
through spring to summer

Shlomo, fast?
(haiku)

half blind from sleeping
dreams unclear as opaque glass;
happy birthday Sigmund

Playing with Shlomo as slow-mo or slow motion.
Also Freud’s middle name.
