Going back to work
Requires more than just distance
A mental journey

Let’s take down the tree
It is never as much fun
But more important

Saturday, December 29, 2012

Things you’re ashamed of
Will always be around you
For others to see

Won’t you hire me?
I write real good and avoid
All apostrophes

Three days of Christmas
Will mean more presents for them
And less time for me

A day for fun is
Often a day for fighting
We’re dysfunctional

Another year ends
Don’t forget to look forward
While you’re looking back

Time to clean the room
And get rid of ten percent
There is no debate

Some folks take a break
And others slow down. For me
It’s full speed ahead

Day before Christmas
And there’s just as much email
As any old day

They retweet your stuff
And adopt your prescription
But will they pay you?

Eleven years old
Never would have imagined
That this day would come

You are who you think
That is a revealing fact
That’s both good and bad

Tuesday, December 18, 2012

Talk about yourself
When there’s nothing else to say
You’ve always got you

Monday, December 17, 2012

1,474

It’s not just my job
It is as much yours if not
Actually more

Sunday, December 16, 2012

1,473

Just throw it away
Why do we cling so tightly
To that which has served?

Saturday, December 15, 2012

1,472

I can’t talk to you
With them screaming behind you
Nor can I fix it

Friday, December 14, 2012

I’ll learn the guitar
And write all those great novels
In all my spare time

Are these getting old?
Do I have some fresh ideas?
Do you see value?

They want fun and games
You want to get your work done
Let’s try to do both

He is getting good
Not just at feats of skills but
Controlling himself

Look but never touch
You will embarrass me or
Someone will get mad

Did they let me win?
Sometimes being alone will
Make you think crazy

1,465

One thing at a time
Only works if you do the
Most pressing thing first

Don’t sweat over it
First draft is never perfect
And time will bring change

Thursday, December 6, 2012

The beginning and middle
They will write the end

Wednesday, December 5, 2012

1,462

Some folks deliver
And others will let you down
How will you respond?

Tuesday, December 4, 2012

1,461

I am not your boss
We serve on a team where I
Choose the direction

Dinner with old friends
Makes you feel young and aware
Of your long journey

Sunday, December 2, 2012

1,459

Don’t say what you think
Keep your spirit well contained
You’ll embarrass me

Saturday, December 1, 2012

Let it drop and see
If it shatters or bounces
You might be surprised
