Andy was proud of his work. "She'll do a quarter in less than nine seconds," he boasted.
Far cry from when he found it at the old homestead.

On the drag strip going from stopped to a quarter mile in nine seconds is very good time for a fast street-legal car.

Redheaded freckle faced Dolly was cheerful today. For her birthday she was allowed lipstick and mascara.
Boyfriend? Redheads beyond reproach.

My Inbox — MidWeek Blues — What is this other thing?
.
.
...
I n b o x
Dad's inbox was full
nine letters to write
fifty-five to read
how did he ever?
My inbox is full
fifty thousand plus
e-mails here to cull
how will I ever?
Catching up is hard
some say can't be done
Dad lit a fire
I used the 'delete'
Two generations
apart by the years
harm done is trifling
we did what it took

The prompt word for One Single Impression this week was "Transition" suggested by Teri Casper.
of Teri's Mandala Poetry
For more poems using this prompt word please go to One Single Impression. I first posted this one in my Jim's Little Photo and Poem Place.

A minor concern: People tend to believe everything that I say. Not all my poems are true. Please don't believe every word I write here as gospel, some is poetic fiction. This one tells the truth for me, but Dad would never let his Inbox have even one unattended letter remaining at bedtime.

Or do less. All she requires is a BLUE PICTURE, you don't have to write.

LITTLE PHOTO AND POEM PLACE,
February 1, 2008
(it is not a Grandparent's Day post)
Grandpa's Day
slowly he turns over in his bed
push down his feet to straighten his back
his shoulder aches his side cries in pain
child's voice -- I wish my Grandpa'd be here
crawls out of bed so slowly he dresses
holed socks torn shirt one pair faded jeans
clean yesterday shoes by door there lay
child's voice -- my Grandpa needs a new suit
lane's end he goes -- find his paper there
the dogs explore cold's white field of frost
song birds all know new to read there not
child's voice -- why doesn't Grandpa have a TV
boiled egg he eats the kids cooked last week
puzzle to work next he'll read past's news
for better word radio would work
child's voice -- my grandpa should have a mac
lunch time comes its baloney and cheese
pickles are gone meat has spots of green
safe in his jar peanut buttter there
child's voice -- did we cook grandpa enough
now get the mail sure glad frost is gone
the dogs do roll grass is very dry
no letters here from anyone dear
child's voice -- I'd e-mail my Grandpa dear
comes supper now eat before the dark
one hot dog cold on bread that's his dole
better he fares when grand kids are there
child's voice -- hot dog for Grandpa I'd make
its off to bed you kids get some sleep
your grandpa goes before the light is gone
early we leave fix him for the week
child's voice -- can grandpa come live with us
Grandpa my son lives in Grandpa's day

The same may go for poetry? (whatever, I enjoy painting with the words!).

One single impression: Stairways . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sunday
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Genesis 1:26 (NIV)

Stairway Forbidden
Who you say, would dare?
Would dare put up that wall?
Just a simple stair,
access denied seems unfair.
A child small you say ,
no access seems alright.
And come whatever may,
little one, no way!
No mere child I cry!
This small wee one I love,
oh dear pet of my,
sweet doggie safe nearby.

One single impression: Doorway
It's OK to come on in
Contemplate your naval
Finish your up beer
Don't even have to flush
Out into the garden
A fresh outlook on life
Be sure to do the right
Ladies are on the left
