  1. BREAKING WAVE

    the wave crashes on to her shore
    but she is made of rock
    and can take many more
    sitting on a dock
    with only one sock

    haven't been to a golden beach in ages
    to sit in the sand and read sunshine pages
    while the westerly gail, doth rages.

  2. Microwave

    somehow over the years
    with no realization
    I became the kitchen slave
    I chopped and peeled
    boiled and sautéed
    roasted broiled fried
    and toasted! Too much!
    No more I said one day
    you need to cook once
    in awhile my love!
    and he did! I was no longer
    the indentured kitchen slave
    once we got him a microwave!

    3. When Brian was a bachelor he didn't even have a stove. He could cook anything in the microwave. Now he knows how to use the stove. Alyssa, isn't allowed to use the stove. She sets fire to the house when she uses the stove. She is only allowed to cook in the microwave...I enjoyed your poem very much!

  3. Making waves with lies,
    half-truths, does not become you.
    Reveal your real self.

  4. about twice a year
    when I was young
    my mom would give herself
    a permanent wave
    the next day after
    when she brushed it out
    her head would look like
    an auburn chrysanthemum
    I always thought
    it was such a waste
    of time as well as money
    and the house would stink
    horribly...for days!

    3. I remember that too! I never thought about it as a waste of money and actually thought mom's hair was naturally curly. LOL. I never saw her without the curls till she was over 80.

      Delete
    4. the things my mam did to her hair defy description. hours of dying and fiddling and hair grips. at least my hair is naturally cool ha ha

  5. Tides of Time

    I wave to my past
    as the wave of my present I ride.
    The wave of the future swells
    With the rising of the tide.
