This year's birthday card to my sister inside my Isle of Jersey geranium photo:

Some say mold
Some say patina'ed
Some say old
I say perfected
Happy Birthday, Nat!

It Ought To Be A Crime

I finished this on May 12, 2015. Journey Community Church held a special event for the police department and their families this year and this was included on each plate of goodies given.

It ought to be a crime
To walk along the river path
Or leave house windows up a crack
And find all’s well when you get back--
Your car, your home, your life, intact—
Yes, it ought to be a crime--
When things go better than deserved--
To fail to honor those who serve--
Police and staff (and kids and spouses)
Guarding De Pere’s land and houses--
For all the ills that don’t come near
And all that has not happened here

Okay, so after our church’s series on Song of Songs, I remember I had chosen Solomon as my subject to do an assignment based on e.e. cumming’s writing style for my Creative Writing class at Dallas Seminary.

solomon the prolific
penned one thousand ditties
and married fourfivesix seven hundred dames
in a wink
tisk, tisk
he was a wise man
and the question I wanna ask him is
why
the shulammite wasn’t a plenty
