How was your day, dear?

The sound of raindrops
landing on my dry windshield
followed by the sight
of feathers on the river.
Morning spent with an
unruly, annoying child
that was hurting but
could not explain it to me.
The afternoon drag –
both a herald and a tease
for I was in pain
and I knew it would worsen
before I could find my rest.

Looking for a place to call my own

Apartment searching –
I’m moving closer to work.
Looked at five so far
but none of them fit quite right.
The first was lovely
but I wanted to look more.
The second was close
but a few things just weren’t right.
The third was quite nice
but I still just wasn’t sure.
The fourth was alright
but disliked the neighborhood.
The fifth was not great –
the lady sold it too hard.
I’m seeing two more
and I’ve got a good feeling
that I may have found my place.
