Second Home

Dreaming
of poetry
afternoons once again,
Sitting in the huge library,
writing.

Plotting

When working on ideas,
I take the longest time

Finding routines, until
I plot a plan fitting

For my journey at that
moment. It draws out new

Threads, edges  weaving in
a path most comfortable.

New Stage (a Haiku)

An end to the month
brings the promise of movement
along my life path.

Months

It's been months since
I've experienced

Life with my friends
in the big city;

No poetry or readings
of any kind,

Despite gatherings
with the locals.

I stay on the lookout
for special groups

In the coming
future.

Gradual (a Haiku)

Calm breezes and bright,
sunny skies set a backdrop
to Summer's demise.

Time Loop

Time flies by while
I sit at the window,

Replaying old encounters
in my head.

The regular world
continues to turn as

Old friends' disappointments
with missed meetups

Pick at my brain
in that monotonous

'Youshouldhavedone' tune,
in one endless loop.

People move on to
live, love and share,

While I am stuck,
immobile from regret.

Tensions

Sometimes you know
when the moment is right
to walk away.

So much tension rises...
building, building,
until you can no longer breathe.

After three years,
it's time to be with those
that truly matter.

Raining

Day after day
the rain continues to pour.

A faint glimmer of light
shines through on some days,

Yet it only lasts a few hours
before the darkness resumes.

It reflects the current climate
of the month's tensions in this world;

Unstable, relentless in severity,
limitless.

Eventually

Will the
day come when I
can finally crochet
without feeling any pain? I
hope so.

Memory

I miss
walking into
a yarn shop and viewing
an endless supply of skeins and
samples.

04/22/2019

Remnants

Right now
the pain faded,
yet every now and then
an ache lingers, a remnant from
the past.

Treatment

I went
into treatment
for a couple months, my
wrist needing the strength to hold things
again.

04/22/2019

Styles

I used
to make creatures
and hats with yarn, playing
with a rainbow of colors and styles
all day.

04/22/2019

Longer

Although
my left hand feels
somewhat better, I must
bide my time a bit longer to
crochet.

04/22/2019

Rising

Planning,
now gatheting
appointments for the big
event, growing appreciation
each day.

02/25/2019

Planning

Spending
the morning with
co-workers, then at home
planning for my wedding, and good
reading.

Conversations

Speaking
to my cousins
is a refreshing part
of my evening, hearing about
her day.

02/04/2019

Evening

After
a long work day,
I rest with him and check
stories from the day, while watching
the shows.

01/21/2019

Warmth

Restful
evening, spent with
a good story and my
fiance, watching some action
unfold.

01/14/2019

Lazy Evening

Catching
up on some rest
while reading my book, calm
with the fact that I am prepared
for work.
