Cupcake

tasty cakes
frosted with goodness and sprinkles
all in a snack size package
asking me to eat them

Week 37, Day 255 – “New Dawn”

New Dawn

broken glass glistens in the morning light
the remains of last nights party
reminder of things half forgotten
my headache tells me to go back to bed
but my clock tells me it is time for work

Week 37, Day 254 – “Run”

Run

wake up, get out, run
the marathon is coming
and you aren’t prepared

Week 37, Day 253 – “Acting Up”

Acting Up

brought pickles to the work picnic
last year someone choked on a pickle

I’m just the new guy
someone should’a told me

Week 36, Day 252 – “Girl Quest”

Girl Quest

a young girl leaves home
on a quest for her own independence
questioning God, and purpose
love, sex and connection
making mistakes and getting hurt
all in hopes of finding answers
not accepting what others tell her
she will find her own truth
and make up her own rules
to structure a world of inconsistancies
in a way that makes sense of it all

Week 36, Day 251 – “Get Go”

Get Go

right from the get go
I got up and went
just did every day
did whatever, just did
get go was the secret
get up and go.

Week 36, Day 250 – “Work”

Work

coming home from work
another day of labor
exhausted, to bed

Week 36, Day 249 – “Lost in the Woods”

Lost in the Woods

first frost
and I am wake up
on a path in the woods
the cold drives me to wake up
and lulls me back to sleep
if I don’t get up now I may never
if I never then I’ll always be lost in the woods
covered with fallen leaves
sleeping in every morning

Week 36, Day 248 – “Arms Up”

Arms Up

put your arms up
you little punk

give up or pray
there’s no way out

Week 36, Day 247 – “Teamwork”

Teamwork

everyday we lose another
until there isn’t a team left
