February 7 – The Toaster

A trivial argument

And the toaster

Adjusts the temperament

Of the atmosphere

Irritated

Indignant

Irate

Incensed

Incandescent

And the toast is burnt to ashes

February 6 – Boxes

I live within the crumpled

confines of cardboard;

a little worn around the edges.

I decorate the walls within

while you plaster them without

A resident of definition

Addressed by association

But I cut the holes

Through which I breathe

February 4 – First Day of School

A themed #postitnotepoetry submission today as my youngest, Little Miss #2, starts her first day of Kindergarten.

Excitement chases nervousness

Across the asphalt of the playground,

Following the painted lines

Of hopscotch squares and swirly snakes

And jumping over cracks.

When the bell rings

The chicks are gathered ‘neath Wisdom’s wings

February 3 – WARNING: BALL PIT

His young feet dangled over the edge

longing to swim amongst the plastic

blue, red, green, yellow and purple balls;

to tumble inside a kaleidoscope

to climb the matrices of molecules

to throw planets like a Titan

Yet he dared not move

scanning the surface for the fin

of the Ball Pit Shark
