Lakes .. and peace from ..

Is there a rule that says

one may not create a list of 

not do, not feel, not dream a dream that

keeps its eyes open night after

love gone wrong?

Has government legislated

emotions ripe right in parliament

but - to be left under a dusty door mat

for an unrelentless future of

goodness knows why? 

Might we agitate limbs in life

in a free land of will or - won't

rationing steps as if rhythmic musica

for a dancing Italian lake

in 'andiamo' song?

Politics have little  reason

to sing their offbeat rhubarb an'

blah  at a time when, who knows,

the Summer might shine,  perhaps say, 

'See you later, have  a good day'

Author's Note

Brief mentions of Italy amid politics is the finest way of offering a tasteless feast!

Politics makes my head hurt.Both sides have gotten out of control. It's more about egos than Americans

[Beccy]

There are rules for everything, including no doubt somewhere buried in the statute mountain a rule for how to regulate love with a properly written rule; and I I can pretty much guarantee that there are those walking amongst us who earnestly believe everything can be regulated.

I think the trick is to divorce politics from the reality of living one's life; after all, as you so succinctly point out, 'tis mostly rhubarb and blah!

Enjoy the summer. Beccy X

Hello, waving frantically! You and I have agreed over many topics over the years, Beccy. Thank goodness although even our hands are tied becuase of the general mess. Yes, if anyone knows about rhubarn and blah.. youj know me but.. better that than head in the sand on occasions.

Sending you the will to change your mind and then, dig your heels in to the orange jelly! Love to you both. :)

A sad but remarkably beautiful use of words. Your skill continues to astound me . The amount of emotion you can put into your words. This is a love poem And a memory poem.
