MORNING POETRY – ‘Backed Up’

there is so much to do
and nothing gets done
with an overloaded mind

mental fog
lacking structure
step by step

where to start
when all seems
to be important

write two columns
one for things you can do
one you have to get done

sort out the priorities
on the first side
and leave the rest

universe has your back
choose your tasks
trust in its help

and it is so

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘With A Shovel’

what a day!
it was today
I have to say

now standing tall
heavy steel beam
building strong team

in the sweat and heat
shedding calories
shoveling grit

bit of daily drama
before it was ready
sun burned steady

quickly setting
in the ground
concrete mound

gallons of water
out of the tank
like money from the bank

think positive
and on your feet
the groundwork

is complete
