I have been in a creative mood lately. Maybe I am pulling out of the low grade depression I've been in since Bill went to school. One can only hope, anyway! 
This first one is just for fun. My sister-in-law writes poems like this sometimes, and this is the first time I have tried it. Composing it made me laugh!
Detroit Tigers
Dismal, dreary news daily
Economic ruin
Tradesman jobs lost - so many so many
Running out of options
Oh - so sad - so sad
In this border city
That has been so down for so long
Tigers begin winning
Involving our hearts
Gleeful, giggly, goofy fun!
Even losers can become champions!
Rock on boys!!
Sweet partying for everyone!
These others are inspired by places I have seen on vacations.
Dinosaur Bones at Rabbit Valley, Colorado
Embedded in the ancient rocks beside the trail,
Under the desert sun in a sere place
Where the heat sucks the air out of your lungs.
Remnants of a long destroyed world,
Hints of long extinguished life,
Found where only little green lizards
And curious tourists
Now walk.
Historic Wharfs at Salem, Massachusetts
Empty, quiet, lonely.
Where have your ships gone?
Where are your longshoremen and merchants?
A forgotten place, once bustling.
Zion National Park in the Summertime
Standing room only on the busses
Entire tour groups heading up the Virgin River Narrows.
Extended family groups eating ice cream on the Lodge's lawns.
Where is the wilderness?
