“The poet is
an untier of
knots,
and love
without words
is a knot,
and it drowns.”

Poem:
.
searching for my inner strength
for my love I would go to any length
speaking the truth with only candor
never a hint of being a philander
learning that the perfect word is we
in all affairs, to be as honest as can be
to face the good times and the bad
having a trust that is truly ironclad
the deepest feelings, more than a friend
someone on whom you can always depend
the best partner ever for playing charades
a person with whom you can count decades
the heart that will go with me to any length
the soul who leads me to my inner strength

“You too?”
She asked Ruth.
“How do your poems
start out?”
“They start as
a lump in the throat,”
she said.

Poem:
.
today is a happy day
why ? ? ?
because my attitude said so
a decision to go with the flow
today is a glorious day
why ? ? ?
because my Higher Power made it that way
it even gets better when I pray
today is a perfect day
why ? ? ?
because my God doesn’t make any junk
even better since I stopped getting drunk
today is a beautiful day
why ? ? ?
beauty is in the eye of the beholder
the Pieta was carved from a marble boulder
today is a magnificent day
why ? ? ?
because the Great Creator gave us words
spectacular, impressive, striking, glorious, superb,
majestic, awesome, breathtaking, splendiferous
today is a wonderful day
why ? ? ?
because it is my day and that’s the way I want it
hope you can do the same for your day
