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 indignity

that 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.

The Unique and Sundry is live on Amazon and ready for eager eyes to devour the words, memories, and stories that unfold with the poems.

The launch party on Facebook was a huge success with virtual food & drinks, the tunes were great, the conversations were fun, great things were said (I still can’t get my ego through a doorway 😉 ) and there were lots of videos to watch.

The best part is, even if you missed the virtual book launch there you can still see a lot of it here when I share the highlights. 😉

See what all the hype is about for yourself and pick up your copy at Amazon today.
