Sunday Muse - Play it, Play it

American Jazz pianist and

 composer Thelonious Monk 

  Piano Man 

Piano man, won't 

you play for me 

See it in your eyes 

your one desire 

Would it be for me 

sole audience

Merely tickling keys 

in the mornings 

Practicing for nights 

play just for me

Friday Writings -- Who has seen?

                       [youngest granddaughter's bedroom when 

                             she spends the night with us]

    Mama's Early Lesson 

Where is the Boogeyman tonight 

He might be under your bed or 

he might be under mine 

One never knows for sure 

It never hurts to look and  

it pays big time for assurance 

I'm pretty sure he is there 

some of the times I didn't look 

But one never knows 

Mama says she doesn't know 

what the Boogeyman looks like 

She has never seen him  

Very few people ever have

I dread the day that I might

Shay's Word Garden -- Outside the Saloon

 

[click photo once or twice for larger viewing]

Boathouse Retreat 

Twilight Weavers

play on 

Saturday night

Bitter axe makes 

for 

colder daydreams 

Indigenous saying,  

recall 

"Outside Saloon"

Getting colder, 

lingered, 

apples frozen 

Mend big mistake 

lit the 

dewy-eyed lamp  

Rainy muskeg, 

records the 

boathouse retreat
