Mending the Bluebird of Happiness - Rewrite
Mending the Bluebird of Happiness
My friends gather into a sepia photograph like ghosts from a Fitzgerald novel wearing suspenders and dressed for the night. My partner from another life Ted meets me in a room full of tears where memories stalk his lonely hours. Our feet glide across the carpet while I carry a book to spark conversation with the spaces between us growing.
Ted tells me, “Amber looks lonely. Reading too much is bad for your marriage. Go talk to her.”
My sibling Sonny opens the door to brotherhood with me as I teeter on the brink of monasticism. ...

upon our thirtieth wedding anniversary
always said that what first
attracted me to you were your legs
I know that’s sexist, because that’s what attraction is, it discriminates
but when I looked at your face, the
out of bed too soon face, the lined, early morning work face, the tired, but undefeated face, I fell in love
attracted me to you were your legs
I know that’s sexist, because that’s what attraction is, it discriminates
but when I looked at your face, the
out of bed too soon face, the lined, early morning work face, the tired, but undefeated face, I fell in love

Pope Frances
Pope Frances
It is a warm sunny day in Lisbon, the pope sits atop of
Mercedes Jeep, he looks like an easy target for assassins
Men in black suits and open jackets hurry alongside the jeep
except for one lifeguard, who wears a gray suit his black suit
is still at the cleaners
The pope is heading for the big park, along the route
There are thousands of young people, waving flags from many nations
Russian flag, Ukrainian banner, it is all here, except perhaps
the Israeli flag, I assume there are no catholic Jews.
Where the road narrows...

My Atari 2600
Forty years ago tonight was a very special day for me. On July 29, 1983, Mom bought gifts for my brother and I. I received an Atari 2600 and my brother received a boombox. I had wanted an Atari 2600 for two years and it was finally going to happen. I was going to get an Atari 2600.
But a couple of things really bugged me. On the night when I got my Atari 2600, my uncle and his family arrived for a visit. That delayed me from getting my 2600. When they left, we went to Kmart to get my Atari and my brother's boombox. But when we returned to our car to leave, Dad had a flat tire and...

Deceased For A Decade
He was my dad but his life came to an end.
He died and I would never see him again.
He perished after months of receiving chemotherapy.
He had Leukemia and is buried in Sneedville, Tennessee.
He was a hard worker and he worked hard for many years.
Cancer made him become ill and he died just like I feared.
He died ten years ago today on the 13th of July.
It is always sad and tragic when a parent dies.
He died and I would never see him again.

My Baby Doll - Part VII
I found you lying dead on my kitchen floor.
It was sad because you couldn't be my dog anymore.
On August the 27th of 2013, I adopted you.
It was a really wonderful thing for me to do.
I named you after my late mother when I named you Agnes.
You were special and when I adopted you, I was truly blessed.
You were a wonderful dog who I will never forget.
You were like a daughter and you were a great pet.

Freedom on the 4th
Each fallen soul from every generation
Has built our nation's firm foundation
The uniforms through years have changed
But the reasons they fight are still the same
Let's not forget our men our women so brave
For each minute in war they come closer to the grave
In our flag they'll always fly
And guard our nation with a watchful eye
Our freedom paid with blood and sweat
A decision I'm sure they'll never regret
Don't think fireworks on the 4th of July
Remember the ones who lived, who died
Has built our nation's firm foundation
The uniforms through years have changed
But the reasons they fight are still the same
Let's not forget our men our women so brave
For each minute in war they come closer to the grave
In our flag they'll always fly
And guard our nation with a watchful eye
Our freedom paid with blood and sweat
A decision I'm sure they'll never regret
Don't think fireworks on the 4th of July
Remember the ones who lived, who died

Superman III : 40th Anniversary
Today is the 40th anniversary of when I watched Superman III in the movie theater. The movie was released on June 17, 1983 and I watched it four days later on June 21, 1983. I watched it at the Capri Four theater in Morristown, Tennessee. But at the time, it was the Capri Twin theater. When my family and I watched this movie, Capri was building two extra theaters.
I watched this movie even though I heard two critics giving it a bad review. When I was in the theater before the movie started, I was a little worried that I might hate the movie. But I watched it and I loved it. Dad...

He left two families without fathers and caused a lot of devastation.

Rest In Peace, Mom - Part VI
It was a day that I was bound to dread.
I woke up in the hospital and found you dead.
I told the nurse that I thought you had died and she examined you.
She found no pulse and she confirmed what I believed to be true.
Your death occurred ten years ago today.
After living for 64 years, you passed away.
I woke up my brother and told him that you died.
When I went home, I licked my wounds and cried.
I had to accept the fact that your life had come to an end.
You weren't just my mother, you were also my closest friend.
I loved you and people know...
