Wish for perfection?

Is that wise?

Poem - A day in November

November in the Blue Ridge

 1.

blue ridge 

called me today.

come. let me refresh you.

tress of gold, brisk air, winding roads

yes! please.

2.

autumn afternoon

city behind

mountains ahead

rolling skyline

blue ridge

ethereal beauty

copious gratitude

3.

i drove

until it

got dark

until the

earth spun

away from

the sun

4.

i drove the byways

ignoring the express ways

extending my time

in rolling hills on slow lanes.

my reward - tree tops of gold.  

Magical?

Wings that lift a horse - single misplaced horn

go back to sleep

it's a dream

a night

mare.

Broad Daylight in September

On Sunday

Snitch

calls in

tip to police

cars are searched -men are cuffed - end of problem

Come Monday

Bright sunny day, casual friends - meet and greet.

tiny packets

quick exchange -

money

drugs.

On Family

Train Set

We finished building the train.

How long can we play?

Together.

Grandson

He said "I love you GG".

Can this be for real?

He's my boy!

Granddaughter

The box held 4 pink balloons.

Can this be for real?

It's a girl?
