Poem for her 686

Dear Readers,


The red leaves

The dogwoods were blooming in the yard
The forest floor was full of spring things
The flowers many and filled with bees
The hives out by the back side of the spring house
All a buzz
We didn't harvest the honey much
This was for the flowers and the fruit trees
These Honey Makers were workers
They got most if not all the honey they wanted
We did have a friend in town who knew bees
Come out once a month to check on things
This month he visited with a gift
A cloak full of stars
It was a commissioned work
For the days we meet
I had pages of your drawings
Transposed on it
There was the resting pose
And whooshing off pose
And some apples and toes
Stitched into the fabric
His daughter sent you hugs
You'd help her learn how to read
At the town library a while back


Happy Birthday Babe

Charles.


The Gold Cubes

Fear Feathers,

There was a guy named Joey.

He walked into the shop and said.

I need a cubic agate of gold.

The man looked at him oddly and said, "Yes, but at a price higher than Mr. Penny would pay."

Joey laughed out loud for several seconds and lokked at the man again.

Then said.

The penny pence pincher isn't Mr Penny that would be Maude at the deli on fifth avenue and South gate street.

The man still said.

Are you sure you know who mr. penny is?

Then the shop door opened, and a man walked in.

Hi joey, I told you he'd be a pain in the arse.

The shop Owner Bowed and said

So finally you will be my guest for lunch! Bring the young lad we have many things to talk about.

........................


The cubic agate is about 5.929741 cubic millimeters of gold. An agate is used in typeface measurements.

I found two rulers hanging on the wall of laundry room this morning while washing towels and t-shirts, I wash those together to keep my T-shirts soft, and because I needed those items washed. Saves water to combine things, you might not otherwise do.

And yeah I would have usually done Dear Readers, but a typo sprang into my line of office furniture and I just Plot Twisted with it.

Hugs and Kisses babe,

To all others

See you

bye bye buy bai bi by now be richly odd and don't let the donnie kid out DC way make you mad at the world, it isn't his, It's The Lord's.

Poem for her 685

Dear Readers,


The march Hare with a tea cup

The butter was in the bowl
The box was open
Out flew millions of sweet nothings
They had just flew in they do the butter fly in
They had been in your sock drawer and
Had that silly smile on their wings
The art project lay on the floor
They were picking up leaves and
Tossing them into the air
We Love you they sang
We Love you they smiled
The next stop was the tea bag
One group of them almost got a tea bag up
But they all swarmed you
As you giggled
I got the tea bag the rest of the way
Hot warm and ice cold Mint smell
Filled the room
The sighs I made at your touch
My belly in that video
Now repeated
A million tiny songs
You are Awesome they sang
I smiled and licked your fingers
The graham dust and butter
Singing to a song We just heard


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 684

Dear Readers,

Purple paintings

Licked edges of the canvas
The fire tongue
Popped the cork on the wine
The music danced in firelight
The flashes of sunshine
There on the rose pile
The hips swayed in a tea cup
The sights were sweet
Neat lines of turkey feathers
The ones on cut out paper
The ones on table top
The smell of mead making
Needing your feet
The toes warm
Then licked
The butter rum flavor best
The graham cracker dipped
The tongue took a nibble smell
The hands held the blonde close
The cat purred
She'd be home soon
The cat smiled and licked her toes
She purred too
Tapping the clock was off
The seal of the jar popped
The stage was set
The table set
We slept


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 683

Dear Readers,


You are Sunshine to me


The day was cold and dew filled
The grass was wet when I walked out
The sky was in Dark mode
Orion up the west sky rim
The moon a bit further on
The phone on the table inside
You were asleep
The text simple
Hugs and Kisses in our 0x0x
The tune was playing in my head
The be bop head waving video of you
The pause and your voice
Something about bad sound there
Then you and I hold hands
And I wake
I see the currents of the room
Go out
And you are standing there
Just under the cedar
White coat on
The elevator door is open
There your hands are
Bouncing in your step
There you are
Sunshine

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Ligght House Point

Dear Readers,

Yeah the title has a typo in it, so it stays.

That little issue with dyzlexia and typoes and things that aren't speeled right that editors would circle in red lines and tell me that I had to correct until I had instructions that they were to leave it all as it arrives, editors would hate me, so I self edit. As any kid knows when doing writing for classes. But as an author that has issues with spelling and thinking in a formatic way < there would be a word I'd want to correct form and matic and see the layers of auto matic and what that means and then it'd be greek where there was no spaces between the letters, so which word did they want if a word that could have several meanings if added at the end letters were in fact the first letters of the next word or maybe not.

As a science fiction author I compose 90% of my ideas in my head and at times have the vocals for all the non humans too, or even the humans that don't speak languages that we hear today, but might hear if we were in the before times of all the languages we used to have, say right after the Tower of Babel event. The world laments that languages are Dying out, well what if I told you no, they are just getting started up again. Or that over time every language had to issue new words for new things and that Language is a virus as L Anderson would say in that old record an Old friend introduced me to. That was circa 1982 to 1987 or so. I hung around her for a while she was in my Odd Lit class it was a Big Green book of famous lit stories,, I think they were all southern writers it's been a while, It was in the new building on campus at the time, so it was after 1982 and before 1987 cause in the summer of 1987 I broke my ankle and James my brother was at Arkansas Governor's school, which had been started by Bill Clinton while he was Governor and before he was President.

So history is piled into those thoughts above.

The point of the post is to get some Writing out of the head, but just talking i, seems to be going on.

Smiles

Such as it is

So I won't be taking all your time up I will just say

Boo

................. But here below lays the story of the title......


The flying gnat landed and walked over to the node at the desk. The gnat looked at the node and then waved his right side forward wing (this gnat had two wings per side) The code was received and the node lit up and started a series of songs and flashes and even some scents poured out. The Gnat then spoke in a voice that wasn't filled with Gnat language but with a soft whisper voice that had a Human sounding voice but not English, and he said (translated for you here in English as close as I can) There was this guy I met today. He liked my 4 wings. He said I was species Number 4 He is a young one. He is studying Us Flyers. He asked if I'd mate with one of my kind, I said no. I have a wife and family at here. He asked where Here was, I didn't tell him, Pointed toward Ligght House Point instead. Throw him off the flight path. These Humans they are interesting. Your friend Spock would like them.

With that the transmission ended.

And I got up from bed and came here to tell you about it.


Yours

The Felt King Of Galaxy Zed 2 gamma.

Aka

Charles Danner.

...............................


This is a short slice of the "Alternatives" Series of a new novel in short sound bytes in the Ligght House Point Universe.

Charles Danner arrived to a Void and is seeking what kind of Universe this is, He has been given an Apartment , one like all the rest, But without Dangerous dungeons to survive but no one to talk to, just two nodes. One incoming and one out going. Much like a Tweeter feed, but with all sorts of creatures and things that talk, Like the 3,000 species of potatoes They all have voices and he hears their Node remarks from time to time.


May You have the Peace of Christ.

The world is bigger than you think it is.

Dear Readers,


Pudding pies

The days head toward pie making
The Onion pie my dad once made
The Apples off the small trees out back
The tea cake cookie pie we made
That one was a recipe your joke inspired
That day we made to much tea for us
Our tummies full already
No way to store the left overs
I thought hey
And the recipe is yet to be copied
Stuck in my head
But the butterscotch pie
Just now smelling fresh
There on the table
Two spoons
There you
Here me
Yummy

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 681

Dear Readers,


Slumber door

There you stood the door keeper
The day cold and windy
The feelings of sleep
Over the shoulder tapping
Doze a little
Close your eyes
Shh
Sleep just here
Then a parent arrived
Oh awake
Open the door
The repeat rate
Sleep inducing
Then buzzer sounds
Awake you are
Turn to me
Check my breathing
I softly say
Good morning babe
The day isn't here yet
You were in that dream again
And soft touches later
The walls of the cabin
Float away
And soft beach scenes
The dreams of warm and sand
And the vacation
Soon to be had


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 680

Dear Readers,


Four of three

The poem was read and reread
The lines thought through
Then sent
Knowing there was a pressure point
Hidden
That word
There not hidden
But questing still
That quest cape you have
The purple terry clothe robe
The big towels in the shelf
In the wall
In the room
In a warm bath
Long hot shower
All day long
European style
The water fresh
Spring water
From the hillside
Or the pool
The poem lines
Read Red now
On the background
In the lines
That first poem of pillows
When finally
The kiss of hand a few months off
But certain
Slow step into cold night
Veggie straws
Salt on your finger tips
So nice
Your lips

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 679

Dear Readers,


Three of three


There that red again
Ribbed and textured
The stop gap there soft
The touch of it
The feel of it
The taste of it's smell

Slow the flower was put in the vase
The cutting of these roses
They were all over the fence
This stem was long
The head of the rose still closed
But opening up
Not yet
Almost

This red rose was on a long stem
All the others on the bush
Short and compact
This one Long stemmed
Then cut
Then here to bloom
The only vase
Only flower
Only green table clothe
Only table
One cabin
The woods
The Soul

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 678

Dear Readers,


Two of three


Read
There the poem was read
That one oh so long ago
Email
There
Sweet
Then the conversations
Longer and still sweetness
The Long Black Coat
Not seen nor felt
Felt
The texture of that coat
The wool softer than
The texture of the walls
Of the car's suede seats
The car she gets one day
There soft
In the driveway
By a wood
Some rocks
A spring
A cabin
Plan
There the parking lot
A bit of blonde hair
Cold in the snow slight sight
Over there
Her

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 677

Dear Readers,


One of three


Red I texted to her the line
That day it said
Wear Red
Though it was for the color of her
Lips
Or was it the flower
Or was it the secret password too
There would only be the line
One little word
Ditto
Or dot
Dash
Some sweet nothing phrase
The knowledge is
These lines
Pass a doorway
Sliced out of a second
The passage sweet
The mount high
The beach rise of the sunshine
She
There
Free
Slowly walking in a Kroger store
In a black long coat


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 676

Dear Readers,


Soft sleep

There the slow inhale
The day is done
The sailing down dream's shores
Touch the soft back
Fingers ease muscles
Day's stair climbing soothed
Ease of fingers in hair
Touch the skin fine texture
Taste the mint tea in the air
Kiss a hand
Draw you on my canvas
Paint your lines slow
Finger tips drawing you to sleep
Brush strokes feather light
Touch your dreams
Slow the heart beat's rush
As I touch the curve
Deep voice low whisper still
The story edges calm
The dew just a dance away
Soft sleep my canvas

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 675

Dear Readers,


Dust motes

The light beam hit the two dust motes
They shined bright in the stream
Their shape was like something
But not like nothing
Nothings were running in and out
The motes were smiling in the light
The feathers were stirring their friends
Off the shelves of cravings
The ones of wood and the ones of rock
The motes were happy for dust
They liked to fly more than sit
They didn't like the piles
They loved to dance in the open air
They liked to be stirred and float
The sweet nothings clapped
They liked the lady with the feathers
Liked to love her as they touched her
Singing sweet thoughts her way
They taught these two dust motes the song
We love you, we love you, we love you
The two dust motes sang
As they danced in the bright
Sunshine
The sunshine she was
The sunshine she is
The sunshine she brings

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 674

Dear Readers,


The morning slow

The eggs were on the buttered Toast
The spoon was handy in the jam
There was the other toast
Buttered and ready
The Hot mint tea too
There was going to be coffee
The pot was hot for later
Tea for you and me
The smell fit well with toasted jam
The slow morning of fall
The day slow and cold
The fireplace hot and you too
Smiles at the thought
Warm in your bathrobe
The shower lingering still
Slow dancing to come
The day new
The camera was set out
Next to the coat and gloves
If we go out
Then use it has
If we stay in
I'll draw your hands
Into mine
And rest


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 673

Dear Readers,

Time never enough

The clock said it was time to sleep
I wanted to be awake
So was
The day slipped by round the sun again
The day was shorter the winter here
Sunshine walked into the room
I jumped up and kissed her
The clock said nothing
Time stopped as soon as she arrived


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 672

Dear Readers,


Welcome to fall

The leaves start turning shades
The camera gets lots of use
That sheet we gather them in gets a friend
The threads stained with colors
The wall hangings cut to frames
The smiles you make added to a journal
The note book gets thicker
Moss gets added to the spring house
The sides chill as the water flows
The gazebo windows cleaned
The screens dusted off
The fireplace in there piled with wood
Ready for you in the winter
When you go to do art in there
Warm rugs brought out from shelves
Hugged the warm things for fall
Those cups of mint tea full
The little sacks of snacks
Pull up the purple socks
After I kiss your toes

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 671

Dear Readers,

Those steps

That you took to get up the hill
The cabin sat in a garden
Short trees with things growing
The wind when it blew rattled leaves
The trees not so tall as to shade a cabin
But tall enough to shade us
The trees grew fruit and things
Flowers so many that never a dull day
Even winter things flowered inside
The green house had sweet smells
Flowers for the table
Flowers for your hair
Flowers for a salad
Those steps up the rise where you sit
At the porch swing edges
The cards on the end table
The cards with a small art set
The lines drawn where you sat paints
There the idea of a photo
Set to the music of morning
Small things for the library
Books to shade the trees out back
Books to shade your steps

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 670

Dear Readers,


Porch dancing

The yard full of dew drops
The want to dance in them
The chill in the air cool
So there we stand looking
Dancing in place
The wetness on our toes warm
From the fireplace inside
The socks on your feet
The bareness of mine
The dew undisturbed
Swing you round and dip and kiss
Swing you slow
There in Terry clothe robe
Purple with belt and warm
The dew dancing done on porch
Out there in the yard cool
Drops soak the bunny feet
As they munch on the grass


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 669

Dear Readers,


Purple

The color of the flowers on the table today
The color of the robe hanging on the peg
Just inside the bathroom door
Fine cotton threads of terry clothe
Bought for you from the shop in town
For a special gift it was a Tuesday
Days like that happen a bit more often
They are the special Tuesdays set up
To cheer you with an extra smile
That little treat of sunshine you add
When you walked my way that day
Butterfly of blonde hair and bounce to step
There out of some side door into the air
Full of mirth and fun and soft smile
So Tuesdays which I had often said
...was the day of the week it always was
...when people asked, I thought it cool
So once a while ago gifts of things
Arrived with the line Happy Birthday Babe
Years later like today a Tuesday
The gift sets about and says Purple
The air of freshness with sweet nothings
Held out for you in the flowers on table
And Terry clothe robe hanging warm and dry
Yours for the after bath warmth
There with bits and bangles and boxes
Sitting with bows of other Tuesdays
Always Brand new each step you take

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 668

Dear Readers,


You

The poem lines fill a notebook
There is that tale of you in the woods
Being photoed with moss plantings
Awesome in a sundress and sandals
Awesome with your feet in a pond
Though you didn't want to swim
Just dangle the toes at the edges
Trying to get the beach ball
That game we play near the stream
Awesome on the porch with a smile
Hands around the deck of cards
Sitting there with the puzzle
Standing in the living room
There at the table art project out
The leaves and pencils and canvas
There the paints on your shirt
The one we got for your painting
Awesome colors you pick
Those blankets will be good on the swing
Hands you a hot mint tea
Tips the tile table so you can see
The new fired tiles set in place
The art projects seem unending
Soon the library run this week
You in fine cotton socks Purple


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Dear Readers,


The salad

The meal wasn't a salad
It was Oatmeal
But the salad stood there
Looking out at the warm bowl
Just now empty
The spoon shared
The heat still drifting
The smiles the salad saw
They had Oatmeal instead
Hot at night
Warm on tummies
Slow meal this late
Easy to make
There was a smile
She made as she said

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 666

Dear Readers,


Love


That day out for breakfast
The train tracks just a few feet away
Over there the yellow van
Over her a white one
Over there the new car
Over there a see saw
There is a few pictures not taken
A few taken in notebooks
The sounds of future songs
The kisses and hugs and flowers
Texted or written in a notebook
The sound of your voice
In my ear slow and sweet
The sound of slow sizzle of the eggs
As they drift to the table
On the skillet
As I serve us breakfast
Kiss your nose
And your toes

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 665

Dear Readers,


Fall flowers


Green of stems on your shirt
The black lines of the sweater
In the photo on your phone
Drawn with colors not there
The edges of the car windows pass
The sights of the road we go on
The day is cloudy and light
Patches of your smile delightful
The days are cool and mild
The touch of your hand exciting
Lime jello at the picnic
The crackers in the bowl
Cheese sliced from home
There the day is fed
The castles on the calendar
Ones we are off to see
Slowly as the days go by
You and me babe into the autumn


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Dear Readers,


The beach


No lawn to mow this weekend
The garden was in a pause
The pond filled on it's own
The beach house was cool
The sea calm
The clouds like layer cakes
Tasty to see
Not adding to the waist line
The waves soothing at the distance
Those new togs you got flow nice
The days seem to slow
Is it summer or fall
Winter you whisper
Aw the snow covers the mountains
But here is sand
No cold aches
The fire wood burns easy
The sea fills the air with new scents
Wood smoke and salt
Sandcastle Snowmen and flags
The kite flies the afternoon breeze
Your hair is free as the wind


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Dear Readers,


Sunshine

When you show up
When I hear your voice
When the door opens and you walk in
When I kiss your toes
Then we dance in the morning dew
That day in the snow
Was sunshine at the park
Those new clothes bright on a hanger
And sunshine on you
Slow days this fall
Full of sunshine cause of you
Round the old porch swing we go
Singing in the rain
Sun shining down the trees
Dripping springs of flowers
Seeing you

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 662

Dear Readers,


The call at 4

The mower was waiting in the shed
The grass was looking at a list
The things to to say when tall
There was a full 2 page list
Grass languages are many they say
But these grasses were only english
The list had sayings like
Hey hey we grown tall
And
Hey hey we grown tall today
Not a lot of variation
But it was a bit like grass to be simple
This wasn't bamboo or Palms
You called me
Telling me of the new job
They had called you twice
The grass was saying something
I heard the whispers
But then I also heard you start the mower
There was a pause
You said you'd be back
I said, see you soon
I'll bring you tea
And the grass
Well hey hey we are short was on the list
So I think that is what the grass
Will be saying soon
As it gets over the hair cutting

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 661

Dear Readers,


Vacation shades

The new glasses were cool
They split the light
You could read with them
And drive with them
See the dash board and
See the signs
Vacation shades over the windows
The night light a candle
Over there by the fire place dark
The heavy skies light rain
Hot the next day
Wind and surf and then sand
The toes washed before carpet
The days slow
The nights long and filled
Card games and back rubs
Toasted bread and eggs
Some flavor of vanilla in a mug
Some hot cocoa by a tub
Hot shower longer than an hour
Things slowly fading
The vacation a lifetime
Soft dreams of you

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 660

Dear Readers,


Stew beans and carrots and onions

There is those recipe books
Filled with hers and mine
Slight of tailored talents telling tastes
The slow boil of the things she makes
The fast burst of hot and not of mine
We'd honed the skills over the decades
We hadn't seen each other yet
Then the butterfly flies in and
The slow ant walks over and says
Aardvark is not my name
Hit it off was slow in showing
The flowers of summer can be dense
Or few and intense
The soul split once and then
The soul butterfly and ant flew together
Again
Long slow days
The flowers many
All around her head and feet


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.

Poem for her 659

Dear Readers,

The tree

It arrived in the summer
A few days after the big rain storm
The parking lot was full of snow
You had a white coat on
The elevator was full of people
We rode it and rode it and finally just us
We kissed a long time
The alarm went off
We let the elevator go again
We took the stairs
To the roof
Where the Hotel room we had was at
Things seem to follow
Thanks to the rabbits
The bunny rabbits of the cotton tail
Tales of the bunnies of parker woods
The famous story never told
Whispered to you on the phone
Parker's woods
The Oak next to the walnut next to the pond
There by our cabin doorway
Just the two of us
On that porch bench
Kissing

Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.
