one green pepper
one red pepper
one onion
one sirloin steak
one squirt of olive oil
one dash of salt
one pinch of pepper
two forks
two plates
two hearty appetites
three dogs awaiting a scrap

Patchwork Prose and Verse
(scroll quickly, vertically, to catch the brain wave working)…….
just finding two matching shoes to wear
or not spraying the walls with the
Water Pik, …..and Cranberry
Orange breakfast scones with
piping loose leaf tea
awakenings
are hallmarks
of bright
starts
plus
Wordle
Connections
Spelling Bee for
a brain-charged challenge
keeping synapses sharp
– these are my routine morning things
right here in rural middle Georgia
and writing friends across the nation
who inspire me to do new things:
like humbleswede, whose camper
postcards will now be mailed
and Glenda Funk, who
inspires me to
travel the
world with
new
eyes
(and to
hug my old
rescued Schnoodles),
Margaret Simon
whose baby ducks on jump
day always bring a teared smile,
and Denise Krebs, whose Mojave
desert hikes are calling my name now…
Fran Haley, my birdwatching sister
one state north in a same-named town,
wordancerblog’s March food fest
keeps tempting my tastebuds,
Sally Donnelly’s
city sights and
book talks make
me want
to
read
on a
sunny park
bench, Barb Edler
whose slam poetry
competitions inspire
me to buy tickets to a
poetry event on a stage
in Atlanta this coming April
and so many more fellow writers
whose blog are a source of daily
inspiration this month, all
awaken my brain, inspire
me to get out and live
to try new things I
wouldn’t have done
without a
friendly
nudge
a new leaf: green tea
full of antioxidants ~
my New Year’s drink choice
