Shifting Sadness
When change comes about and I feel sad,
My boat rocks and things seem to go bad.
And rather than miffed,
Could I find some gift
To name as “Appreciate-launch-pad?”

Constraining, so much like a girdle.

Just one little bit,
To move you; remember a turtle.

Dropping Stereotypes
When you take in what you are viewing

My waving I save.
Wait for a bus that I recognize!

My drama seemed rather neurotic.
Once check points were met,
And I ceased to fret,
Such fun! Almost being hypnotic.

Of clothing in which you’ll be sitting,

The stories of “flops,” or excelling.

It IS worth the share.
Shared stories are very compelling.
