Had another poem published on Spillwords about the Christmas season … a few people have already rated it before I’ve had time to share! Wow thanks everyone …
when all the shopping is done
seasonal cooking under control
decorations festooning our home
excitement rises about family reunions
anticipated gifts, in jokes and sharing
the spiritual reasons to celebrate this season
brings us resilience, warmth and joy
for this salvation is what it’s all about
not the commercial rushing about
the overspend and mounting tension
… please read the rest on Spillwords!
aroused 
I wish that those around me wanted to just chill rather than keep wanting…

lol the only one that really bothers me are our huge March flies, their bite really stings! And they came out in November … wish they could read a calendar and only appeared in March 😦
