A Short Rhyme For You This Time
Here is rhyme in all its glory! Written for and about my hubby in this story? Is rhyme poetry? What do you think, as I would like to know? Is it a yes or a no?
Can you believe it?
As I sit
to read my last rhyme
to the hubby, he doesn’t have time!
****
When I want to read a poem at last
my Hubby will say, “Fine, do it fast!
As my sanity will not last too long!”
He is not very strong!
Maybe I shouldn’t say that, is it wrong?
****
Poetry threatens his manity!
Is that better? Well, what about my vanity?
When he doesn’t listen to me.
I am working on rhyme that he
is responsible for, you see
as I wrote it just for him!
****
“It is just like modern art and I am full to the brim
with that! Anyone can do that art
and poetry, it takes no one very smart
to put that together!” I hate that he says that
so I am helping develop his sensitivity, the brat!
I give him a bite at a time and he loves it.
I can read him some as we sit.
****
I believe some rhyme to be poetry now.
I didn’t at first but I do now and I will take a bow!

The Light Turns
It's Tuesday 7:13 a.m. A cold and clear November morning awaits Ray on his morning commute. Ray rubs his hands together in the front seat of his Subaru. He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.
