Late

Late

I’m awake late Christmas Eve
wrestling with what I believe
regarding the truth of Santa Clause
my parent’s proof is full of flaws

• • •

Ignorance falls like dark late night
a pitch so black there is no light
knowledge burning bright as flame
drives darkness back to where it came

• • •

I was born by dark of moon
a stormy night in late late June
it’s rained on every birthday after
my parties are devoid of laughter

• • •

O h this is bad, it’s our first date
and here I am two hours late
I have no quality excuse
maybe battery cables rattled loose
windshield shattered by a flying goose
the road was blocked by a stubborn moose
no… I’m turning back, ‘cause what’s the use

    Moose & moose poem give me a big smile! Drive on - maybe your date love you anyway! After all, sometimes we have to be ourselves, flaws (parental and otherwise) and all!

    That may be your lover in a moose suit ready to give you a surprise!

    wanted you to knmow my blog moved due to some unfortunate circumstances, but I have not stopped writing. For an invite I will need an email address. If you are not comfortable with this that’s cool, but it’s the only way to keep it private between people I trust online and keep out stalkers and such. Appreciate your support over the years and keep blogging.
