Summer approaching
Triple digit temperatures:
Why do I live here?

It's creation Saturday,
Therefore,
I need to create something
Other than fear,
Depression,
And tears.

It's creation Saturday,
I need to create
A poem,
A story,
Or a webpage;
Anything
Except tears.

It's creation Saturday,
I need to say some prayers
And than

Lesson 1
And do Exercise 1
Before reviewing
Or writing anything else.

Mother's Day is sad,
I can't give Mom a Mother's Day card
Or take her out for prime rib.

I am an artist,
A poet and an author:

Midweek Reflections: A Poem

Gazing back
Across the past seven days
I contemplate the mysterious ways
God has revealed
Himself
In my life.

Gazing back
Across the proceeding stanza
I contemplate the reason
I always refer
To the Unknowable Essence as
Him.

Gazing forward
Across the next seven days
I wonder about the ways
The Unknowable Creator
Will shed blessing
Upon me.

Comma Insanity: A Poem

To comma,
Or not to comma?
That is the question
Which is driving me insane.

I know I learn about commas
In grade school,
Junior high school,
High school,
And college;
So why can't I remember
What I learned?

Is it a question of age
Or lack of practice?
Whatever the answer,
I need to figure it out
Because I'm sure
I missed
Or misplaced
A few commas
In this poem.
