Mobile in Alabama
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Those were such happy days, for I had lately been deeded a farm,
My aunt and uncle were retiring, so tillage had lost its charm.

Since they were childless, and to a retirement community bound,
It seemed I was headed to Alabama, and an absence of city sounds!

As I worked remotely on a computer, my job wouldn't be an issue,
So I seized the opportunity, for in life such chances may be few.

I had many happy memories, of childhood summers at their farm;

Fast Forward
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

I was going to be late to work again, as it was one of those days,
When one small mishap after another, made for way too many delays.

Lateness had become a genuine problem, to a person craving order,
As the sea craves additional space, at the sandy shoreline border.

I was late to medical appointments, to shows and to dinner dates,
Tardy like the evening sun, coloring skies before a night breaks!

This day might have been lovely, for it was at the edge of July,

A Bittersweet Experience
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

I was in my backyard sunning, while lost in warm daydreams,
Enjoying red raspberries, while listening to the birds sing.

Lying on afternoon chaise, in the golden midst of hot July,
As I watched mauve butterflies, and lazy dragonflies go by.

Charmed by the bluest of skies, and the fragranced fresh air,
I felt that surely, there was not a better place anywhere!

The flowers were so lovely, and the grass was so deep green,

A Walk Through the Trees
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Birdwatching had become for me, such pleasurable summertime hobby,
So I was often among the trees, young ones or those old and knobby.

I chased rose finches at dawn, and the yellow warblers come noon,
Scarlet flycatchers of a fine evening, and ravens under the moon!

By the fond nickname of 'Bird Lady', I had lately become renowned,
And aptly it did cling to me, like the title monarch once crowned.

Outfitted with my binoculars, I sought the rarest or common birds,

The Proverbial Small Town
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

After winning a sweepstakes, I determined to go on a lengthy trip;
And I wanted to tour the mainland, after I had disembarked the ship.

The countryside was quite beautiful, and had myriad charming towns,
Some with the most vibrant nightlife, after reddened sun went down!

I was having such a glorious time, feeling myself the luckiest lady,
Dancing in the halls of June, long after the hour had grown shady.

I would sightsee in one quaint town, before moving on to the next,

The Life of Brainy-Grizzy
by Graham Ereks

Life of an underground lyrical beast looking great
But one can imagine attempting to get the sure rate
To succeed, one's got to really hustle
And, yes, Life is pregnant with some kind of bustle!

Striving makes us great
But, How'd I get there, mate?
Nonstop hustle is, I trust, the sure key
But, first for God, I've got to be on my knee
If not both!
