It’s that time of year again, when I start to take weekends off from my blog, not totally, but enough to be able to spend time with my family. So, Backyard Buddies returns for Season 2 🙂

For Steve…
How can I be so beautiful?
Then disappear before your eyes
I’m here today, then off I go
I know you’ve wondered why
Perhaps it’s meant to happen
Paving the way, for another bloom
Upon the stalk, that holds me up
Perchance, it needs more room
Though I am here to dazzle, it seems
For merely a day or two
My time here, is a short one
So I’ve blossomed, just for you

In neat little piles, outside my back door
Sat a bunch of mysterious mounds
I’m not really sure what exactly they were
Only saw they were perfectly round
Went out to the garage to fetch the rake
Needed to clean up the mess, such trash
But when I came back, the mounds were gone
Seems they all disappeared, in a flash
Well, I haven’t seen them since that day
And so they remain, quite a curious thing
I’m hoping to never see them again, but
I’m sure they’ll be back, come next spring

Rain quenches a thirst
Fueled, by the sunlight streaming
Sating a hunger

Like a deck of fifty two
dealt haphazardly across
a felt table, you anted
your chips and caused
me to fold under your
skilled hand, shuffling
the Queen of Hearts
against the King of Spades
you fooled me into
believing I had the upper hand
when all I had was the Joker.
