Baths

Sweet and scented
Hot and relaxing
Warm and wet
I can think
Oh yes. I can think.
And the bubbles
and the bath salt
and the retreat
yes.
a bath.
a bath is always exactly what I need.

Ray Bradbury

Because of Farenheit 451
Because of Dandelion Wine
Because of Something Wicked This Way Comes
Because of The Illustrated Man
Because of The Martian Chronicles.
His books made me want to be a writer when I grew up.
And so I did.

Automobiles

Oh Cars. Cars. How sweet for travelling distances you are!
I like when you work, roll forward and brake.
I like when you take me from my home to eat steak!
I think you pollute the air and the land.
Wish I could afford a hybrid, perhaps one day I can!
Meanwhile, I need you in the city of L.A.
I might drive on highways
It could happen!
One day!

Hands

Oh hands.
So beautiful and perfect!
How I dream about your hand in mine!
Take my hand!
Ask for it!
Lace your fingers through mine!
Hold it!
Oh, our hands!
So expressive!
Even when sad, and wringing!
Or giving you the finger!
Or making a fist!
Even when waving hello!
Or, goodbye!
Shaking a hand is a wonder!
So sturdy!
Hands that work!
Hands that play!
Hands that know how to draw!
Or play an instrument!
Oh the opposable thumb!
Oh, gorgeous hands!
Making me tremble as I watch yours on the steering wheel!
Or holding a pen!

Hands I LOVE YOU!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

Oh peanut butter and jelly!

you are yummy in my belly!

Always there if I am hungry!

It is so nice and quite comfy.

As breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack.

Creamy and sweet.

mmm I love you!

Clogs

Oh clogs. You wooden things.

Oh clogs. Like a little Dutch girl on my feet.

I am in a fairy tale in my clogs

Oh perfect fit

Oh clompy clomp!

Oh comfortable you!

Oh slip on delight!

Oh clogs.

In all colors.

Clogs I love you!

The Moon

Oh moon, beautiful moon.

You are always over my shoulder

Silver and sweet

Slim and fat

you hang like a jewel in the sky

You pull and push the tides in me and the sea

When you are a crescent

my heart sings

When you are low and large

you make me breathless

My love gazes at your face

and maybe sees me

Goddess, legend, myth and companion

Moon, I love you

Tea

Because it's a cup of comfort

Because it never lets you down

Because it makes everything better

Because it is a ritual

Because it's good morning, noon, or night.

Because it comes with tasty sandwiches

Because it started a revolution



Tea. I'll take two lumps, please.

Cyrano de Bergerac

Because his soul is the most beautiful thing ever.
Because he loves Roxane truly.
Because he is a dirty boy with a large heart.
Because he knows how to twist a word.
Because he thinks he's ugly, but he's not.
Because we all see past the nose.

Ginger Ale

Oh so yum. So crisp, so clean.
Accept no sprite or 7 Up that's just mean
It's gingery goodness is good at all times
whether drinking when sick, sad or happy
it's just oh so divine!

Mountains

Majestic and wonderful.
Tall and mighty.
Strong and fine.
Pushing against each other.
Holding the world up.
I rest my cheek against your peaks.
And throw my arms up in the sky.
Mountains.
