The Honeysuckle Poem

When I walk,

I love to smell,

Honeysuckle.

I love to see,

it hanging,

from the vines.

I love to see,

it blooming white.

I love to taste,

its nectar,

growing wild.

Yes,

I love the Spring,

the warm weather,

and

Honeysuckle.

Not so much a quote but a song: No Plane on Sunday by Jimmy Buffett

Lyrics:

You can throw your luggage down
Lose your cool and stamp around
But there’s nothin, nothin you can do
Wipe away your girlfriend’s tears
Go to the bar and have some beers
There ain’t no way the bird’s gettin through

No plane on Sunday
Maybe be one come Monday
Just a hopeless situation
Make the best of it’s all you can do
till they get through

Overheard the engineer
Say somethin’ ’bout the landing gear
Now we’re runnin’ strictly on island time
I know you got someone back home
So do I it’s tough alone
Awh come on, it’s just a minor crime

No plane on Sunday
Check it again come Monday
Just a hopeless situation
Make the best of it’s ’bout all you can do
Baby it’s true

We shouldn’t spend these precious hours
Tryin’ to figure this out
We don’t know where the story ends
Let’s don’t go back to just being friends

So they went walkin’ on the beach
Quarter moon within their reach
So they stole it and tucked it in their hearts
That’s when they heard the engines hum
And realized the dawn had come
It was over, over from the start

No plane on Sunday
Just another lonely Monday
Awh make the best of a bad situation’s
‘Bout all you can do
Baby it’s true

Oh-oh-oh-oh baby it’s true
Oh-oh-oh-oh baby what’s new
Oh-oh-oh-oh baby what’s new

I think the song itself is about an affair but what I like about it the most is the fact that it tells you that no matter what is going on try and make the best of the situation you are in. That’s how I try to go about my day each day making the best of whatever is presented to me. I also did a podcast episode for this song on the Song Lines and Tan Lines Podcast.

Wrote the Haiku yesterday and turned it into a Short.

Pop and a soft click

Creaking of the closet doors

Opening slowly

:

A ghostly white form

Slips out from the deep darkness

Glides across the room

:

Stopping at the bed

Looking down for a moment

Dissolves as she smiles

Also starting to dive into my Top Ten Posts based on likes and turning them into Shorts. This is the third highest post based on likes. Always liked the ring of this Haiku.

Kiss me with dew drops

The morning said to the night

Then leave me to shine
