The Sunday Review or the things I need to do;
I am behind on my reading and my housework, too.

If I had my choice,
I would only read, write, and review,
but my soul inhabits a body
that needs daily food and drink
not to mention at 66
the medications I take.

The laundry needs washing,
the dishes put away
and I have check the slow cooker
or I won't eat pasta today.

I must add one other thing
to my list of things to do
I have to do some rewriting
of novels, short stories, and poetry, too.

This is the entry, "Invalid Entry" , this week that gave me something to think about. I always like entries that make me think and exercise my brain because if I'm thinking about something I don't worry.

The January 20, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
Today is a free day, so blog on whatever your heart desires, and have a wonderful day!

Sunday morning
and the birds are singing,
they are perched
in the last dying pine tree
in my front yard;
the birds are joyfully
greeting the sun.

Sunday morning
and my coffee is brewing;
the neighbors across the street
haven't removed
the Christmas wreath hanging on their front door.

Sunday morning
and it's a free day
for some,
but not for me;
because I'm never free
of the memories...
in the morning silence
I hold my breath
listening for my name,
waiting for Mom to call out,
waiting for her to request
a cup
of hot black coffee.

Thought for the Day: It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare. - Mark Twain
