Long Spring Walk

The trees give their shade

as we walk on the trail.

The sun peeking through,

but the branches prevail.

The sounds of the woods

ringing loud in my ears,

sends my mind to a place

I've held onto for years.

Thoughts of past summers

spent in cabins in woods,

of innocent times

and the bad and the good.

A stretch of the legs,

a stretch of my mind,

were two of the things

I expected to find.

No Stopping Now

The Ides of March have come and gone

And April's flowers too

The scorching sun that summer brings

has not, as yet, come due

Events of May have started up,

there is no stopping now.

I'll probably survive this mess

although I'm not sure how.

Cinco De Moustache

A celebration

of many things Mexican

and bad moustaches

May Day

A month of change begins today.
What can I say
to keep my mind
from going blind.

A cold hard rain has changed my plans
too bad for fans.
I like the flow
of outdoor shows.

I need to shop around some more
And knock on doors.
And change my plans
Before they can.
