Tired Gears #SixSentenceStories #Poem
The gears are turning round and round!
O hear that awful grinding sound?
They’re old and tired, full of woe,
And soon, my friends, they’ll have to go…
They’ve served me well. They’ve done their bit.
But finally, my gears are stripped!

Seeds of Potential #Haibun #Poem
In my mind I return to the year I was 7 and in first grade. The puppets are the best part of the day, when Mrs. Basta tells a story or teaches us something with the lamb and other animals. I also like lunch. But perhaps my true favorite thing, even better than the puppets, is recess!
On the playground I collect fallen cherry buds with my friend, Iris. I put them in one of those little Halloween pumpkin buckets, the ones most kids use for trick-or-treating. I include grass, dirt, rocks, and whatever else I can find. Maybe I hope these seeds of potential will grow!

“Lament for Kilcash” #Music
Download “Lament for Kilcash” Mp3
This is a beautiful Irish air, written in the early 1700’s. My arrangement is played on ukulele, Oriole (soprano) recorder, alto recorder, and ends as a recorder trio with the soprano part, 2 alto parts, and continued ukulele accompaniment.
I hope you enjoy it!

Deadly Silence #Haiku #Poem
Comfort ends quickly
When silent devastation
Finally erupts
