The
Undone: A Haiku
That list gets longer
Ev’ry day I say, “I will
Do that tomorrow.

Of
course “...and don’t.” is the logical conclusion. But enough of that. I want a
do-over for July. It was just so rotten, I haven’t recovered from it yet. But I
will!
This
month I will...
Okay, I
know I can’t have July over, so I’ll just insist on a better August. We all deserve
a better August. One that won’t set anymore heatwave records. One that won’t see
unbridled mayhem the world over. One where my car won’t be stolen and recovered
and then wrecked the next day by a little woman wielding a big truck.
This month,
after I catch by breath, will be a whirlwind of activity. All those things I’ve
promised myself and others will finally get done – the Sam Rock sequel, the Black
Oak audio, my house in order, and health, healing and well-being for all concerned.
Okay, it’s
a tall order, but without big dreams, there’s little chance of attaining even small
ones. So, I’ll dream big and plan large, and accept the good things coming my way
that I’ve waited for for so long.
Guess it’s
time to stop waiting and start making things happen – good things. We deserve good
things in our lives. Most of us have been long-suffering way too long. At this point,
even touching concrete without get third degree burns would be nice.
And I don’t
even want to hear about the resurgence of the Covid Virus along with at least three
other viruses cropping up.
Think I’ll
just hunker down, lie low, and write and edit and listen and publish. If I want
conversation, I have my friends on line – mostly on Twitter – where I hope Elon
Musk will tire of his childishness before my friends all leave. Wait him out – that’s
what I’m planning on doing.
So we will
see. If I lie low and keep my nose to the grindstone, who knows what I can accomplish.
Think I’ll go off now and give it a try.
As always, I welcome your
reactions and responses to any of my blogs. I love to hear from my readers.
Also, here are links to my Twitter and Facebook accounts, if you care to share
your thoughts with me there or look for any publication announcements.

Also, Eldreth, the Castleweaver,
wanted me to post the links to his books. He claims no one understands him. I claim
I do. He just rolls his eyes and keeps weaving his tragedies.

It’s now August and summer
it seems, will last forever. Some of my plants have survived, but my sunflowers
may never get big enough to bloom.
