“Who Would You Rather Kiss” is quite the game, Whose rules were passed down from antiquity: First, one reverses last and Christian name: So Black Swan's star is Portman Natalie. Next, two by the creators' names are known Because with admiration they were rife: Winona Ryder always is “Winown,” And Michelle Pfeiffer must be called … Continue reading July 21: The Great Game

July 20: Brain Brawn
Brain functions are like muscles, in a sense- Behaviors tone, and frequent exercise Can make synapses strong and networks dense, Thanks to plasticity, but this implies Those mental tasks that one rarely performs, Enticing challenges or fine intrigue, May satisfy, but also may transform Enthusiasm to mental fatigue. So even when one hums with satisfaction … Continue reading July 20: Brain Brawn
July 19: Encumbered
It is a gift to see old things anew, By virtue of a differing perspective- Though skeptical initially, I knew That there was more than faculties detective. How sweet to feel an ardor innocent, Yet aching to be thoroughly expressed To a particular recipient, Without him knowing whose joy was professed. It is enough for … Continue reading July 19: Encumbered
July 18: Exploration
A ladder leading up to space unknown, The purview of a neighboring department, Is hardly barred, but neither is it shown, Once rumored to have been vagrant's apartment. So when I climb and clumsily alight Upon the slab that leads to a locked door, The roughened pathway fills me with delight- With eagerness the catwalk … Continue reading July 18: Exploration
July 17: A Thor-ny Dillemma
With sun-warm hammer flush against my palm Its haft emblazoned with familiar runes, I faced the frosted enemy with calm, And waited for a moment opportune- And when my comrade pried ajar the door, I smote the icy ramparts with a cry My hammer rang with glorious songs of war As Jotunheim we ventured to … Continue reading July 17: A Thor-ny Dillemma
July 16: True, Not Free
When careful planning and hard work pay off And dreams seem as if they are coming true, We sometimes show a tendency to scoff At how much gratitude good fortune's due; For in success, self-serving logic lies, Proclaiming that if something worked for you, It was because you're virtuous and wise, And not for things … Continue reading July 16: True, Not Free
July 15: Vincible
I woke just minutes prior to the alarm And thought, “That week spent two time zones away Shall cause me no unpleasantness or harm; I needn't pussyfoot around today!” And so I went full-throttle through my tasks Enthused at solving problems once again And weighing carefully all questions asked, Reactivating those bits of my brain. … Continue reading July 15: Vincible
July 14: All Good Things
Eleven lives, eleven calendars, Eleven journeys carefully aligned Eleven minds all eager to confer And write eleven tales newly assigned. For seven days eleven sowed the field With blessed solitude and conversation- Our House of Our Own then began to yield The signs of universal germination. O meadow of ideas in full bloom Cross-pollinated in … Continue reading July 14: All Good Things
July 13: Mischief Laughs
I do enjoy the incongruity Of sitting on a screened-in patio Surrounded on all sides by broad-leafed trees, But hearing naught but highway traffic flow; The lake, magnificent and gray, that reaches Beyond horizon, cool fresh water favors The weary, yet it's rimmed by private beaches, Except a tiny strip packed with sunbathers; When we … Continue reading July 13: Mischief Laughs
July 12: Idle Theme
O daydreams, become nightdreams when I sleep, And let my slumbering mind elect stay Wrapped up in luscious pleasure for to steep Repose in bliss, and keep nightmares at bay. For yearning daydreams much prefer to play While masquerading as reality Which makes them lack the breathtaking array Of the subconscious mind in reverie. So … Continue reading July 12: Idle Theme
