purr-growl

haiku

guttural purr-growl

squirrel, lemur, elephant

ape, cat, even man

punctuate

it’s national punctuation day

and time to take a look at what

a period or a comma can do

to keep me out

of trouble…

or not

answer with quiet

 answer with quiet and now i see

ways i could have done that

but at the time i only knew

how much time, effort and money

i had put into setting up the sale

so that my family would have help

since i can no longer do as much

as i want to do to help them without

risking an incapacitating stroke

my defense position is anger

bless the lord that my daughter’s

reaction is gentleness

she kept me laughing, and quiet
