My poem "Meanwhile 1" "The Vacation Planners Next Door" is a new series of poetry about while someone is bogged down living their life....There is someone elsewhere who is planning the time of their life....
When I was young and penniless, but had free time between semesters of education and teaching, I seemed to get around quite well on my own and often found that the best places were bereft of travelers, especially during the "off" seasons that I traveled. Who wants to be in the middle of a huge crowd trying to see something or get service anyway?
Now I have the money to do it and the time, but once again, if I go I have to go alone because all the loved ones around me are stuck in the rat race and like when I was younger, can seem to find any reason to go.
Life always seems unfair whenever we have to compare ourselves with others. It's even harder when the ones whom you are comparing with are your neughbours. But everyone in this world has a time of his/her life and it was your neighbours' time to enjoy the time of their lives since they have just got married. They will have a long journey to take. If planned well their lives will be well-lived.
Consider yourself lucky that you are still able to pay your bills (as I do too) without any interruptions. Many are not so fortunate as they struggle to put food on the table.
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses
the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given
day.
