Whispers
Hand cupped to an ear
tiny hairs tickle
as whispers pass.
Eyes turn to saucers
as eyebrows take flight
and imaginations soar.
Could it be true?

Hello everyone;
I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1 prompt of "write an optimistic poem"
Not Dead Yet, Me
Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.
Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.
Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.
Is it really such an indignitythat something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.
Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

Thank you Claudia!
“Can you keep a secret?” is always the inquiry–what are you going to say–hell, no, I’m a gossip sieve, don’t tell me anything; no, you nod, hear the “secret”, offer advice, then text the person they were bitching about; human nature at its finest.
Right, just once it would be great to see their expression when you say “No I can’t” and walk away. 🙂
So sweet.
Reminds of a secret or two I’ve heard
Thanks for commenting and stopping by Gail!
