Target Coffee Show Window
View through window of Target Coffee Shop.
I often sit here to write, visit with friends or people watch. As an added bonus I get great views of clouds over the parking lot. Last week I noticed what looks like a lenticular cloud forming I took this shot through the Target window. My plan was to crop it down but when Jake’s Sunday Post asked for a window so I left it alone, grocery cart and all! I think it works, what do you think?
They left in such a hurry they left their shoes behind!
It's Gonna Be All Right
I chose this one because it has the live pictures of the very young John, Paul, George and Ringo singing.
Seemed time for a revolution or reassurance that "everything will be alright." Our Boys from Liverpool's ideas of change are so charming, almost quaint compared to what has come to pass, however their ideas of revolution and evolution is spot on.

The need to change the way we live with one another on this planet started back in the days when the Beatles first sang this anthem of Revolution on the White album.
What are your memories of first listening to these words?. Are the ideals of that time something you still live by or are there things that you left along the “Long and Winding Road” that you need to go back and retrieve? Where ever you are along the path, walk with the idea of Beginners Mind will keep you young, and everything “will be all right.”
Sacred Mother Tableau
Mosaic mother
Corn Madonna
Arms stretching out
Welcoming us all
Protecting our Earth
Gracias Madre.
Carol Carlisle
Poetic Blooming suggested this Tableau form: verses of 6 lines with 6 beats each.
The photo is from the mosaic at the entrance to Gracias Madre a very special place to dine. I thought this was a good image for something called a tableau or table picture.
Jessie in Wonderland
I wonder what gile the gimbal and other matters of nonsense preside here? Have we entered “Laura’s World” ? There ought to be a poem or story somewhere among the purple and azure trees. Put words to her wondering, perhaps!
I’d love to hear your musing here.
elephant mural in SF Mission
My poetry is an elephant hiding in the shadows, a big bright surprise every time it shows up.
My poetry is a clockwork mouse running beneath the furniture, it keeps me on my toes.
My poetry is a pair of well warren boots I put on in order to get the work done.
My poetry is a garden filled with songs and prayers and more than a few laughs.
My poetry is the air I breath, may it be always pure and fresh.
Carol Carlisle
All this is
Written on my phone
because the computers on the fritz
Which gives me fits so bad,
I may run away from home
Now is this a poem too?
Thanks Margo Rody for the prompt.
Like the sweet sent of yesteryear, perhaps a grandmother’s prayer, these words have come to me three times this week:
The mind is searching for what the heart remembers and the soul never forgets.
Happy Mother’s Day

Leaving my writing class I pass through the garden where I admire an Iris who invites me to tarry a little longer.
