Send me on my way


  I

Wooden ladder leans to the house, accessing short roof ledge, 
hawking Romeo to visit Juliet, send me on my way

All 3 cars backed in the driveway, no hurry to get home, 
time blocking ready to leave, send me on my way 

Strolling along the shady side, cooler by 10 to 20 degrees, 
tomahawking the temp, send me on my way

Text on the page just sits, spoken words fill the air we breathe, 
squawking the life we live, send me on my way

The tail of the letter q apparently evolved from the tail of a monkey, 
rollocking play with questions, send me on my way 

What is better, an answer, or a discussion leading to a better question?
sweet talking much more discussion, send me on my way

  II

Doing anything the proper way is best, I go fishing for words, bushwhacking impatient dictionaries, send me on my way

Tiger lillies welcome drivers to Weikert, lining the curving roads, flocking along Buffalo Valley, send me on my way

Life’s issues play in a rainbow of color, the key is managing the gray, peacocking between spaces, send me on my way

My hands were wet when I was at the source of the Nile. Dry now, rocking the source within me, send me on my way

Blue hydrangeas didn't bloom last year, frost caught them just as they were about to, gawking this year's splendor, send me on my way

Sunlight dances on Penn’s Creek, lengthens the glistening flow, cyberstalking the deep, send me on my way

So Sherlock, go make space for the silence to be broken,
knocking down doors, opening windows, send me on my way
