OddlyMe

there are those who walk
with pain so unbearable
you never know who

#haiku

He asks me
Do you want to do this?
Or this?
I hesitate, wondering
What does he want?
What does he want me to want?

In the end I choose what I want
Then hold my breath
Wondering

It is accepted
This time

Today was such an awesome day. Usually, no one needs me. But today three people called needing me :) my grandson, son, and brother... and I was able to help all three of them. Plus, squeeze in an errand, and a couple of house tours a friend had been wanting me to see. I need more days like this.

LoL ... :) Nicely penned.

I think Google needs a hearing aide more than I do... Since when does 'and' sound like 'when'?

It does it to me all the time... I mean, it's true I love him when I miss him, but it's not what I'm saying... LoL

Maybe Google knows me better than I'd like.

There is so much cruelty in its beauty....

I got you bud
don't mind the bugs or the slugs
your blood, my sap, together forever

Valentine's Day was good... Pretty flowers and a hamburger sub, who could ask for more?

Just a Pretty Pink Flower by Kimberly Reed #oddlyme

Like a barely slumbering dope,
Sitting here, suffering in all my hope...
Listening to all this ear-splitting huryl burly.

I can't write
I can't get any housekeeping applause

It's been so bright
so cold, so I'm told

hibernating
missing my kin
got a driver waiting

wishing on a shiver
I could sit and write
pen the plight
That keeps me up at night... 😉

It sounds like good advice :)
Thank you...

I think this is the longest writer's block I've ever had... 🫤

#oddlyme

House flies.

Their crude persistence,
like black commas swirling and fluttering about,
rubbing their hands together,
as if pleased with the mess of living.
They never despair
or philosophize.
They land on grief,
on sweat,
on the altar of bread crumbs
and carry on.

There's nothing like a waffle cone loaded with French vanilla bean ice cream on such a cold and windy day.

I just realized my sweater is on inside out and I don't care... LoL

Oh, okay. Thank you for letting me know.

What is this go-live feature ?

I learnt some time ago
love, respect, concern
are often one-way streets
built on shaky conditions

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

I still want to crawl inside you
Look through your eyes, looking at me
So I can see how you see me

What do you see?
How does my presence make you feel?

On a rainy day, Charles comes home to find his wife sitting too comfortably close to a man who seems to adore her, and with a poke, he startles her.

steaming mad through the blurry haze of rage
like an oasis
a caravan of distressed thoughts lay resting on a cotton pillow
waiting for morning to grab the quill and fill the pages

I, too, am lost in time to the tune of fwooosh, wooooshhh haaa!?

i would not cause harm to a stuffed animal or even the demon that crawls on the wall id like to wrap it in my arms and bandage up the scars and nourish it with gentleness that ive never received and in the midst of all this softness im still privy to believe that im an evil creature twisted with deceit and pain inside my sleeve

there are days where i hang from the cliff when im sinking and rendered adrift and i pull myself against the center of gravity but i know that slipping is an inevitability it’s only a matter of time, really and then there are days where my feet hit the ground and i muffle my ears so i wont hear the sound of the cracks in the granite that spread where im standing because im scared if i fall again ...there won’t be a landing and today i feel nothing at all i take a bite of the drywall for a taste of the plainness my eyes all bright and glimmering like a mistletoe one day im gonna kiss the present

A dark background with a quote from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and a logo of the Bushwick Book Club. "I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other".

One of my favourite quotes!
