Aloha,

                  The photo was taken at a beach hotel in Waikiki. This quiet parrot is a macaw whose dynamic color engages us in a visual way.

                  Great writing is "dynamic" when it engages our feelings, hearing, intuition, smell, intelligence, taste, and touch. Let's consider this idea as we write today.             Enjoy!

              How's It Going Over There?

How's it going over there you who are so far away

I guess things are OK or so you say

How's it going over there in your wild and blue 

Have you finally gotten with it or has it gotten you?

Does anyone ever fake a dream

Stand in line for the next to scream?

Honor one who's not quite where it's at

Can we really do that?

How's it going over there you so tested by time

Still tasting the wine dally sublime

In your brain a little home on the range

Take life's lavish ride all apologies aside

It's fair to say love will come your way

Once you define it the heart of gold

Only you can mine it then be sold 

Find someone who cares only then and there

Is it fair to ask "Hows it going over there?"

            There Being a Next Time

I'll play it pretty then I'll play it again

Bring in the beast to visit all my friends

Show my hand then let out a breath

I'll play it pretty you do the rest

Shake this joint with rattle and rhyme

Meet up again somewhere down the line

Local folk follow me in a great big line

I'm getting myself used to there being a next time

Recovery discovery get me off the shelf

I'm going to be a good friend to myself

Try to play it pretty try to make it shine

Get myself used to there being a next time
