About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

The Clown, For MVB, Feb 17, 2024

Will you forgive me if I just give a link to a poem I wrote about a clown ten years ago? HERE is the link.

For MVB-Clown

Gregarious, for WWP 351


Gregarious

That Gregory was gregarious
wasn’t a trait nefarious
but still, as he piled word on word,
his excesses seemed  most absurd,
and the fact that he was wired,
meant listeners’ interest soon expired. 
Thus, the faint-hearted
Soon departed

 

For  WWP 351 the prompt was Gregarious. The answer needs to be exactly 38 words long.

The picture is used for illustrative purposes only, although it must be noted this friend loves to talk!
No one would walk away when he does so, however.

Walnut Brown

Trying to meet this challenge made me realize how little brown there is in my world–let alone walnut brown! I had to search through thousands of photos to find these photos that could be classified in the category of “walnut brown.”
