Mystic Topaz, Ring, necklace and earrings
What's New?
Like the mentally ill
With no way to comply
To their insanity will
Complex conversation
Bitter dregs never pass
Children needlessly hurt
Parents carelessly crass
Friends fighting cancer
Acquaintances too
Birthdays to plan
A life to pursue
I should test drive a car
Look for new floor
Immersed in my peace
Giving pause to seek more
As embers burn down
Scars emerge then disperse
Some may be resilient
or possibly worse
New celebrations awaken
Begging life to proceed
While I cherish new trinkets
It’s PEACE that I need
And that's nothing new!
No harm dreaming this is my new ride! But it's not one bit practical for carting large canvases, big thrift store finds to revamp, or extra luggage. Plus it's expensive to buy and repair,while a threat looms of having the top slashed. Instead I'll imagine myself snug to the road, hugged into black leather seats, kissed by the radio pumping out favorite tunes as vitamin D penetrates my soul, while I bury my ego, and try to do the practical thing! Stick to my budget, be green, find good gas mileage, Cloth seats (bleh), a 4wd, and deviate from my insistence of a black car...or I could keep my 17 year old soul mate, a black renegade companion, that I adore even though it taxes my knee every time I use the clutch!!
Oh what's a girl to do,
when she needs something NEW???

practicality some times really sucks. It's no fun. However, sometimes that's all we can do. Buy the car with the money from the book you will sell.
I say keep the old car a trusted friend and get a chauffer.
Yes Queenie nothing like a trusted friend! However not sure I would want to give up the independence of driving....hmmmm could a chauffeur be used for other things????
Grizz how did you know I was thinking of two books just this morning?
Dream a little dream for me................

finished my moves...your turn!! :))
i'm always in need of peace and balance. its hard to master!
This was so much fun to read!
We'll be cashing in my oldest and dearest friend soon. I am very sad at that thought. But it needs too much work to keep it going. Let's hope my kids don't ever think that about me.
Great post! I owned a Fiat convertible back in the 80's and loved every minute of it....even though I paid for a lot of repairs along the way. There's nothing better than driving with the top down (I did it every day it didn't rain!) and my favorite Led Zep song blaring on a tape (now I'm really dating myself!!) Now I drive a sedan and play classical music! Oh, how the times do change!
And I thought I had a lot on my plate. You are a strong, amazing woman!
Great poetry, and the ending is so true!
very nice poem. I always hate loosing a car. I get attached too.
