funny,
He's leavin' on a Greyhound Bus
He's done got tired of us
Unmatched socks lie in the drawer
Loose tobacco on the floor
What did he do when he was here
What about him did we endear
Oh! I remember how he held me close
Changes happen that is the way life goes
Now a quick hug and gran I love you
A few moments and he is through
Engrained in my heart and memory
When he was totally dependent on me
Our grandson has a job with a long haul
trucking company..He leaves tomorrow
for ten weeks of schooling and training
on the job...Yeah!! He finally got a job..

sad,
Uncoloured like ether; armed with snakes
Steps as lithe as a greyhound; a body
put together like a puzzle
With rings and dark eyes and small voices
Your words stumped and acerbic, I bet
you fall into chairs and lovers
When you sit opposite me on a bus
You chase away my starved eyes; old hope
for a love dusty over a fireplace.

Dog
My love
First greyhound
Retired rescue
A fun, goofy boy
Lovable and loyal
Adjusting to his new home
A high prey driven sight hound breed
Our cats are his friends, squirrels are not
He is loved and completes our family

(Not for contest, I wrote this because today is Ziggy's 3rd Birthday, he is a great dog and my first greyhound)

devotion, love, people,
Sampling efforts of various chefs
spent the morning making cakes
High spirited independant miss
Hair coiffed in red rouge circles
On blue-and-siver striped sofa
She wrote poems about Spring
In cloth covered book with a lock
Greyhound poised at her feet
He took her to a dark restaurant
She opened the box... A gold
heart nestled in black satin.

lost love, , Lullaby,
It was Winter when she left him
The North wind howled out on the plain
This was never what it should be
And Spring may never come again
She took a Greyhound bus back East
The West just never fit her style
He loved her still, he had no doubt,
But loneliness had killed her smile
She missed the noise of the city
A lullaby for her to sleep
In the country lies the silence
A bargain made she couldn't keep
It was Winter when she left him
And he had never loved since then
Forty years have come and gone now
And Springtime never came again

confusion, love, sorry, me, me,
Rain on the window makes me lonely
time keeps on passing so slowly
cell phones i hear ringing
i keep wishing it was me
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
she has you and you have me
and there are somethings we can't share
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
That ring you were wearing
didn't mean anything
maybe because it came from me
why didn't you just let me be
If you were just going to chose her
did i ever mean anything to you
did you cry
or feel like you were going to die
As you watched me pull away
we both need you
but there are somethings we can't share
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere

funny love, lost love,
Oh sweet nothing, I really miss you
Just putting one foot on the table, or two
If I could just sink in to this sofa and stew
Oh sweet nothing, I do so miss you
What if you could see me now?
Running in circles like a professional greyhound
You’d not know me, life’s so loud
Oh sweet nothing, if you could see me now.
Dolce Far Neinte, I appreciate you the most
Once taken for granted, now as abstract as a ghost.
Just one small taste, of not making haste
I just need some space to slow down with grace.
Oh sweet nothing, I will always remember
Time to myself, to douse the embers
My goal will be to have a peaceful September,
Wish me luck, sweet nothing, and we’ll be together
