POETRY IN MOTION

POETRY IN MOTION

It’s so hard to keep five plates

spinning atop those long wobbly

poles of ambition I seem to need.

(I’m glad I have flowers to keep me sane)

What I need is to complete things.

Completion is what really

makes me happy!

And I’m happy because finally,

 I’ve got the printing all figured out.

Doing my own stapling is part of

this assembly line process.

Since I had the camera in hand,

I went outside in the 93 degree heat

to quickly take some more photos

as a remembrance of July, 2011

From a distance I thought

the Poke Weed was blooming

but it turned out to be

 the crape myrtle.

this year I have some Black Beauty

 heirloom tomatoes

growing on the deck.

I’m so grateful for flowers and

tomatoes that

grow as long as I water.

While I was watering I got a new idea.

A spin-off!

Like adding another spinning plate

on another wobbly stick.

Why not make up a bookmark

for the new books of poetry?

It would say

"Please Pass the Poetry"

I would draw a sketch with

 Poetry

 written on the bowl.

“PLEASE PASS THE POETRY”

READ ONE POEM

ALOUD

TO 

SOMEONE!

~ ~

WHEN YOU 

FINISH

READING

THESE

LATE BLOOMER

POEMS,

GIVE THEM AWAY

TO 

SOMEONE ELSE!

~ ~ ~

If I get that figured out,

completed, and printed

I’ll be even more happy!

stay tuned . . .
