3d or not 3d? that is the question.
when my girls were young
we went on a matinee date
to see a dollar movie in 3d
everyone was so excited
then came
the popcorn and sweet treats
the movie started
the cardboard 3d glasses
got bent
kept coming off
i finally used their barrettes
to attach them
right to their hair
greasy popcorn hands
made smears all over the lenses
sticky candy stuff
got on their hair
it got tangled
there were spills
the movie was bad
at least one started crying
no one could see
out of their magic glasses
there was
a lot of
loud whispering
it was not
exactly
what we expected
but we had
our own
very exciting
real life
3d action adventure
right in our little row
none the less
and that’s
a heck of a lot of entertainment
for just a buck.

big doors swing on little hinges. – w. clement stone
mama hangs on tight
as she
takes her
baby chicks
off to
master
their moves
their kicks
their spins
their control
as they
jump and skip
through the city
over and under
everything
in their way
and
they can’t wait
to
unleash their power
so much energy
harnessed here

poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words. – robert frost
when a kinder
in my class
asked me
to show her
how to spell
these words
it was
because
she was
writing
a
birthday card
for her
mother
and
there
could be
no finer gift
than
this
beautiful
poem of love
she created.

i loved this. and then it got even better.
this was sent to me
by
my sister
and
i could
identify
with
every word
for it’s
an
approach
to life
that i share
with the small boy
in the words above
and then
there was
the orange sticky note
that
she attached
to it
and i
saw
this
as
a
wonderful
compliment
and
a
precious
gift
for
it shows
that
she truly
knows
who i am.

the trail of tears.
it was
a wonderful morning
filled with skating
and sliding
and parents
and teachers
and tumbles
and laughter
and happy screams
were heard
and
most of all
kids
just having fun
and sharing the day
and
after the mad fun
it was
time to warm up
and enjoy treats
and then
some of the little ones
began to realize
that parents
had to
head back to work
or home
and a bit of worry
set in
and
as we said goodbye
and hiked back
towards school
the tears flowed
and the wails were heard
and some
were
walking
and weeping
and clinging
as if
parting forever
and it was
dramatic
and
so full of love.
—-
ever has it been that love knows not its own depth
until the hour of separation.
