Homes for All

This article literally gave me chills (of excitement, not dread) down my spine and brought tears to my eyes. Our world needs a little hope like that this project brings. If you haven’t read about this project and process and the positive impact it can have on the world, have a look.

Practice Makes Perfect


Practice Makes Perfect

His patience in predicament has become legendary—
a necessary attribute in one so prone to marry.
He tolerated petulance in the child bride
married out of loneliness after his first wife died.
He tried to build her confidence, but finally set her free,
realizing what she needed most was liberty.
His third wife used another means to put him to the test,
running up his credit cards while feathering his nest.
His fourth wife played around, and the kin of number five
turned his peaceful home into a frantic humming hive.
Only in his dotage did he finally meet his prize—
not as stunning in her beauty, but lovely in his eyes.
No grand faults to overlook. No predicaments to fix.
No petulance to deal with. No relatives to nix.
Marriage done at any age can be pleasure or blight,
but  when he married in his eighties, he finally got it right!!

 

Prompts for today are tolerate, predicament, nest, legendary and confidence. Photos by JD Mason on Unsplash, used with permission.

There is a Glitch in Everything

 

There is a Glitch in Everything

There is a glitch in everything. Everyone you meet
is lactose intolerant or allergic to wheat.
We can’t drink the water and everywhere we venture
breathing without masks is considered an adventure.

The ocean’s full of plastic. It’s ground up in our salt,
but nobody I’ve ever met feels it is their fault.
We still buy our Seven Up neatly bound in plastic
as all around our world the pileups grow ever more drastic.

If each and every one of us learned to just say “No,”
to packaging in plastic, we could stem the status quo.
If we only ate organic. If we all went solar,

cooled down the atmosphere, resolved our issues polar,

stopped genetic meddling, stopped drilling, pipes and fracking,
we might restore ecology that presently is lacking;
but the chances of our doing so probably are scant.
It’s hard for us to walk the walk. It’s easier to rant.

Prompts for today are water, glitch, everything, adventure and neat.
