Otto woke early today
Then of course, so did I.
Walking to the kitchen
Setting out his food.
I tried for more sleep
but he had plans
that do not allow sleep.
Now it is noon
and a nap awaits
for both of us.
If he stops snoring.

The Earth shook
again and again
People ran from their homes
into the streets
On and on the Earth shook
then, finally, it stopped.
People went back to their homes
to live, and to sleep.
Until next time.

A chair sits outside
next to a table.
The table holds
a plate of cookies
and a cup if coffee.
A woman sits
on the chair
reading a book
sipping the cup.
A raindrop falls
and the woman leaves
her chair but
takes the cookies
and coffee cups
inside her house.
Her cat awakes.
NaPoWriMo (Day 16)
Look up, never down
how else will you see
that raven above.
The raven sits high
watching the smalls below
and laughing all day.
But when the darkness falls
the raven is not seen
and the sky becomes mine.

Day 12
A cat meows
A dogs barks
The cat climbs a tree
The dog watches him go
The dog barks
The cat meows
The dog wags his tail
The cat rubs against him
All is well.
The cat snuck outside
on a sunny day
The bear left its cave
full of darkness
How strange they met
by a pond
The meeting was short
the cat ran home
the bear played in the pond.
All is well.

There he was,
feeling alone,
feeling lost.
There he is,
feeling happy,
feeling loved.
Time had moved on.
(NaPoWriMo; 4/5/24)
A seagull learned
kindness and love
and found happiness.
A woman came forth
with no love at all
and did not find happiness.
A man walked a beach
feeling sad and alone
but looked up to the gull
The seagull flew above
letting kindness be seen
letting love become true.
What a wonder!
A dear friend came
From far away!
We had two days
of fun together!
Then she rode the train
back to her home,
so far away.
Wonderful, it was
and we will not forget.

I was still sleeping
or perhaps not?
There was daylight
or perhaps night light
Hmm–darker than it should be?
or lighter than it should be?
Was something saved?
Perhaps a long nap would help.
