Let's Do Lunch

Let's Do Lunch
early
because I missed breakfast,
the dog needed a walk,
I needed a shower
and because someone might come to look
 at (and buy - we hope) the house:
the dishes needed washing
and the bed needed making.

Then the car needed gas and
 then there was an accident and
the road was blocked and
because there were no  detour signs
I've wandered around in
unfamiliar neighborhoods - lost 
looking for a way
to your house.
So I am late, late, late
and I am very, very hungry
so let's do lunch, now.

Is it Just Me?


Is it Just Me?

hooded rain coat
repelling
cold sprinkles 
of rain drops


fuzzy socks
with monkeys
warming 
chilly toes

purple gloves
covert to mittens 
cozily
holding hands


soft knitted
scarf 
settled on 
my shoulders

black zippered boots
rubber soles
riding on
my feet

feathered filled duvet
resting on my bed
covering me in 
cool warmth

freshly brewed tea
in grandma's teapot
filling my china
tea cup

coffee in a mug
a midday treat
warming my hands
and innards

chili with beans
simmering on the stove
lunch or dinner
warm delight

soup hot 
in a mug
a warming
quick meal

Winter cold
ice and snow
bringing me 
warm things
I love you

Am I the only one?
