Celebrate the day
The one that marks our first breath
Each and every year

Poetic reading
Interview preparation
Postponed to next week

Slumber escapes me
Running away and hiding
Each night that I seek
December 4, 2023
White, blue, orange stacks
Pile up on the horizon
Dawn of a new day
December 5, 2023
I am exhausted
Nothing much left in my tank
Shoulder won’t shut up

Wake game in Winston
Efton debuts in lineup
A double double

Date in infamy
Those who saw becoming few
Remember them still

Poetic reading
Experience not to miss
Shared with my daughter

Four o’clock again
Four Acetaminophen
Forever in pain

My god the Panthers
Can they really be this bad?
Sadly yes they can.

Two weeks till Christmas
Month is moving pretty fast
Sister born today

Batu is leaving
Putting in his notice plan
Gone at the month end
December 13, 2023
Failure at the job
Blowing everything away
Not restoring files

Final workday stop
Carried over till the end
I’m ready to rest
December 15, 2023
What the hell was that?
Urgent care not in the plans
Just an MRI
December 16, 2023
Up midnight hour
Sleep evading; pain lays siege
Consequence from fall
December 17, 2023
Hamster wheel actions
Weather and sleep habits too
Dreariest Sunday
December 18, 2023
Traded vacation
Day delayed until Vegas
More fun anyway

Twins were born today
One my father; one uncle
Soon seventy-five
December 20, 2023
A simple lunch date
Offspring were my companions
Hold on to this one
December 21, 2023
Two o’clock again
Seems to be quite regular
Needs to not be so
December 22, 2023
Lightning bolt running
Zeus throwing them quite often
Hitting back and leg
December 23, 2023
First time visitors
Touring and soaking it in
Child eyes are the best
December 24, 2023
Anticipation
Will be tonight’s companion
Remember it well
December 25, 2023
Gifts being exchanged
Retrieved from beneath the tree
Happiness with them
December 26, 2023
Furthest day now from
That feeling from yesterday
Anticipation
December 27, 2023
Finish line in sight
Final days within this lap
Hope there are lots more
December 28, 2023
Vacation erodes
Days off fade into the past
Slowly one by one
December 29, 2023
An unwelcomed guest
Resides in nose overnight
Uninvited cold
December 30, 2023
Blurring together
Especially this last week
They all do it seems
December 31, 2023
Journey is complete
If there is a tomorrow
Not a guarantee
