Time off Work

Finally!
Time off work –
A few hours free
For all that needs done
For me.


A Question of Happy

Is it the drinks?
The board games?
The football?
Is it the gifts?
The cake or cards?
Friends or family?
A bit of each?
Or none at all?


Vocation

Very rare
Occurence where someone
Cares about their work
And wants to do it
To fulfill an inner need
Instead of picking a career
Out of those reachable by income and
Necessity: A Calling


A Choreography of Sound

Her fingers don’t race across the strings –
They dance.
First allégro, with forceful, staccato beats
Of hammer-ons and pull-offs.
Then, lyrical, sliding smoothly
And gracefully from note to note
And chord to chord in a ballet
Of highs and lows, building
To dramatic catharsis:
A choreography of sound.


The Wall Sighs

Like a tired old man,
Leaning to conserve his strength,
The wall sighs away.


6 Word Short Story: Pets

“No! My foot is not food!”


To Plan

Putting it together,
Lining it up,
And weighing
Needs against hopes.


Corrupted

Data stored.
Error!
Memory corrupted,
Erased, or misplaced:
New details added, old
Turned around,
Into confusions, fears, frustrations
And tears.


On Watch

A quiet rustle
Green eyes, twin lasers, lock on
Then fade in a yawn


Willing Prisoners

An invisible tractor beam holds them in thrall,
Caged in place by color and sound.
The key to their freedom lies close at hand,
Yet nobody moves at all.
