A Writer’s Curse

Words all jumbled in my brain,

Grasping for the right refrain.

Frustration found at every turn,

A proper sentence I can’t discern.

I squint my eyes and hold my breath,

I gasp at last averting death.

Up and pacing; I circle the room,

I’m drowning in a sea of gloom.

Give me something I scream out loud,

I’m on my knees for I’m not proud.

A simple phrase from whence to start,

I beg you as I fall apart. 

I have a thought at last I shout,

I know just what to write about.

My fingers fly across the keys,

I dot my I’s and cross my t’s. 

I’m a writer for better or worse,

Some days, I admit, it’s such a curse.

When words are jumbled in my brain,

A simple sentence can be a pain.

Prolife Republicans use the term "abortion inducing drugs" to refer to birth control pills and all related contraceptive methods.  Let that sink if for a moment.  

A Foggy Night

A foggy night,

Deserted street.

A silent shroud,

A man alone.

Hands in pockets,

Collar turned up.

Moisture on cheeks,

Stifle a shiver.

Lost in thought,

Meandering along.

Fertile mind racing,

Answers unexpected. 

Block after block,

Street names blur.

Circuitous route,

Step up the curb.  

Around another corner,

Stumble to a stop.

Epiphany realized,

Mission accomplished.

Gonna have to boycott In-n-Out as they just donated $25,000 to the California GOP.  They apparently donated $30,000 to the GOP last year.  I posted this on Facebook the other day and got quite a lot of pushback about it.  Some stated In-n-Out also donates to the Democrats.  A couple of my Facebook "friends" went right out and got themselves a burger.  It's not easy being a activist when it involves something you really like.  No In-n-Out of pro football for me this fall.
