Sunny Morning
English: Dawn sunlight through early morning mist (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Sunlight is shining
over every nook
of my Earth.
A glorious
brilliant warmth
hits my cheek.
All this world,
alight.
Like a giant
golden halo
showing the stars
our innocence.
I feel
I was just created
This day
this time
for this moment.
Maybe words
will never cover
what miraculous life
is uncovered
on A sunny morning!
Triglycerides and Me

Hard living is catching up to me! Years of fun and frolic, living like a Hobbit, and not caring have caught me on my doorstep. I decided to go get my first checkup in about twenty years. I mean when you are immortal who needs blood tests and Doctors! Well needless to say my cholesterol is a little high. The real problem though is my Triglycerides. My results sheet had a chart on it for low, moderate, and severe risk. The number for severe risk was 500. My number was 546! I told my wife “Hey, when I do something I like to do my best!” I also said “Wow that’s the highest grade I ever got on a test.” I guess my years of sucking the marrow from life were well done, now I have to be an adult and eat right. Boo! Well, it’s not the end of the world, I mean there is medicine and it’s fixable, so no sweat, but boy I’m gonna miss my Carbs. and fried anything. Ice cream and alcohol, my dear friends, we must keep our relationship to a minimum, if we want to spend any time together. We do, oh yes we do! I guess living well now means salads, and fat-free everything. Does this mean I have to drink those low Carb. beers also? It seems it’s time to channel my inner rabbit or bird when it comes time to eating, lots of fruits and greens. I just want to say live it up, but watch how you do it, read labels, and cut the fat and sugars. Wow as I type this, it sounds so depressing, but I guess being dead might be more so! I don’t worry though (the immortal me returning) I will be writing and living for a looooong time, so keep reading.

Poems to tell A Story
I have recently decided I want to write several Poems, and I want those poems to all tell a bigger story. I have not found a name for this idea, although I am sure this is not a new idea. I have posted a poem from this planned story recently, “The Mushroom King” If you’ve had a chance to read it I’d like some feedback. If you know a name for this conglomeration of poems that tell a story, I would appreciate an enlightening comment. As always and with everything I would like comments from my readers, as they help my hone any skill I might have, and other writers are in short supply in my world. I have to go to family and friends, and they “Love” everything. Although it’s appreciated I need more in-depth feedback. I’m trying to find reading groups and open mikes in my area, but I would also like some comments from you. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy.
The Butterfly Motel

The Butterfly Motel
is open for business.
It’ll make you feel like hell,
If you don’t stop and rest.
Changing time……,
cocoon yourself in
the blankets of your past.
wash away your sins
in our pool of renewal.
We have cable T.V.
and beds that spin.
Sit down and
feast on a soul…
We’ll even get you a booth.
………………………
We’re only miles
from the old cemetery.
Where old butterflies go to die.
When you check out
we’ll check you in There!
You will rest
with all the other dead butterflies.
……………………..
Thank you for staying with us
on this vacation…., Life.
Hope you’ll stay with us next time
at The Butterfly Hotel.
We’re always open.
