I’ve no intention of ignoring the very real mess we’re in BUT I am trying to remember that I still have joy in my life. So in attempt number … (I’ve lost track!) I am choosing to recognize my happy places. Thanks for helping me commemorate those moments goes to Ronovan Writes haiku challenge (day / flaw) and to Restless Jo who shares my love for a good walk!

Thanks to Susi at I Write Her for a great photo challenge.

I live in Florida, so obviously Dorian has been on my mind for the last week. Feel free to interpret this piece as a statement on that bitch! Thankfully, we got off pretty lucky here, but the Bahamas were hit HARD. If you can, think about helping. They will need it. You can find links to some legit efforts at Bahama Relief .

But I also live in Trump’s America, so (for me at least) my words have another layer of meaning. Feel free to reinterpret them or guess my thoughts, if you’d like. That’s the beauty of poetry.

Plus, never forget he’s either just an idiot or a thin-skinned shallow narcissistic purposefully-uninformed idiot. #Dorian #nevergonnahitAlabama #doctoredphoto #nicesharpiejob
