The posts that didn't get posted

I am deleting the posts that I never did release.
Here's a line from each one,
so as not to be completely forgotten.

"Not quite depressing
but a slight sense of doom."

"Shoes are swinging,
hanging there.
Outside my window,
attracting my stare"

"I need to stop focusing on the corners."

"An engagement ring returned
four hours later, at a table inside
Al's Oasis."

"I'm worth a dozen dimes."

"...taps my shoulder now and then."

"Up.
Down.
Up.
Down.
I can do better than this."

"I'd been told by my priest
that I'd been brainwashed and
I'd go to hell after coming to
school a born-again christian
in the 6th grade."

"You inspire me."

something old, but new

I think maybe I just like reading your name.
When I close my eyes mine is the same.
It's not what I expected, just a bit of what's lost.
Reliving a memory gives my sanity pause.

It flowed so easy to say it aloud.
I thought it was mine, not my mind in a cloud.

No other will fit me, such a melodic end.
All others fall flat and at most echo friend.

A peach of a day


A stroll through a peach orchard
just after peach season had ended.
All peaches have been sold
or had fallen to the ground.
(see sniffing dog)
All except one.
(See Dad)
Making for one happy Bug.
