Weird Day

cope by reading a

history of handwriting, 

seems reasonable

Good Weekend

It's strangely quiet
here without a friend's laughter.
Soon it will return!

Halloween

air is electric
with the promise of candy
- or the nearing storm

One of my favorite things

driving with music
and the ticking turn signal
matches the song's beat

...and the only prescription is more crochet

Tired and headaches

So stay up late and crochet?

Not my best idea

Neighboring

I was looking for
an excuse to meet.
"Please feed my goldfish?"

Shutdown Activities

Practice beat boxing,
drive a few hundred miles,
make pumpkin cookies.

Fall

Why is Fall so great?
The abundance of pumpkin
and season premieres.

Way up in the sky

Birds by my window
are loud enough to wake me.
Even alarms don't.

pet peeve

The sound of a pin
pushed into styrofoam board
makes me want to cry.

lines and limits

There. There was the line.
And yes, you stepped across it.
Shall I cross it too?

blog troubles

Whenever I remember
my forgotten poetry
I become quite sad.

blanks

Blankets spin at least
90 degrees every night.
New law of physics.

Things I learned today:

• Muscadines are delicious
• and I'm allergic

Civ 5

My heart is pounding
from the great thrill of winning
Civilization

movie review

Escapist movie, sure,
but Anna Karenina
is too sad and weird.

sentiment

quarters for the wash
so I miss that creaky house
always good to us

work

I'm slowly learning
that soon I'll know as little
as the experts do.

that's what they call me

I don't require
another to entertain!
Ms. Independent

technology

No laptop? I'm lost?
I  realized joy can be found
in more simple things

perspective

small things feel bigger
when left to worry alone.
thank God I am not.

i.e. craft time

all things fall apart
and the only response is
to create beauty

Excuse me sir, but
just because I have eyebrows
I am not Brooke Shields

good day

Got a lab coat and
did some actual lab work
and now for ice cream!

update

fish named Ferdinand,
more than half done with first week,
and I have wifi!

What a week

Sister got married,
I moved to my own apartment,
and start work Monday

inspiration

I need some magnets
to rearrange on my own
refrigerator.

well-rounded

bowl of cereal
and chicken quesadilla
too much chocolate

tictictic

so much to do and
plenty of time to do it
but nothing gets done

indoor rock climbing

I lack one thing that

would make climbing much easier:

upper body strength

busy in a good way

just thinking about

busy days makes me want to

take a break and sleep

my summertime

post-graduation

standards are way lower than 

the past several years

Nature

Dad walks through the door
A large house fly comes with him
Irksome buzzing....SPLAT

entertainment

new favorite show:
Spy. The best sit-com I've seen.
Seriously though.

whoops

Mental to-do lists
aren't done until they're written.
Lesson learned. Write more.

Isengard's Theme

DUN dun dun DUN dun
BadaDaaaaaBumbumbum dun
DUN dun dun DUN dun

Apartment hunting

answer your phone, please,
property manager types.
I'd like to pay rent.

oops

I forgot to post.
It will probably happen
again many times.

Late night

Slept through my alarm.
Now I'm up late, writing this?
A vicious cycle.

Sports?

Root for the Pacers.
What else to do in Indy?
Cheer on the racers!

Organization

Sorting through my things
Piles called "trash," "leave behind," "pack"
How does one decide?

Laundry day

Wash, dry, fold, repeat.
Clean clothes are worth the hassle.
Wash, dry, fold, repeat.

Trip to the Zoo

Pointless umbrella
the zoo animals and I
enjoyed the warm rain

1. Birthday

Happy Birthday, me!
Join me, friends, as I write poems.
Plan on one a day.
