Miss Pinter
Her name is Miss Pinter
She likes to wear the latest/new fashion trend
How she loves to collect ideas of so many things
One wonders if she uses all these ideas
Miss Pinter is her name
And having a board full of many pins, & notes is her game
The pins range from art, to music & even some new recipes
She loves her board of pinned ideas
I bumped into her one day
I asked her softly, ‘how are you doing Miss Pinter?’
She replied, ‘I am great. Would you like me to share a pin with you?’
I simply said, ‘No. I’m good. Thanks.’
I watched her march to her garden
Then I wondered if she had started it because she got an idea about it
Hmm, maybe she is on the right track & has the right idea
One can learn a lot from varying things

Words with Wings
His words were clipped,
Unlike his wings.
Always straight to the point, with no time for flowery talk
Or needless verbosity.
Unlike his cousin
Who could waffle on for hours
About what she ate for lunch,
Or which holiday poolside she was basking at.
But he,
He just said his thing;
Made his point
Then left,
Knowing that his words would quickly spread
And travel round the world
To stir unrest
Or debate
Or elicit humour.
His words would fly
Like a bird
Chirping to the nations,
The great and not so great.
He tried to use them wisely.
But
Was overwhelmed.
Woke up with a start.
Late again!
Run to the kitchen.
Glance in the mirror. Frown.
Dot dot dot
Message bestie. Call Auntie. Read group text.
All before stepping on to the tile.
What cute tile--looks so good in the background.
Dot dot dot
Hearts. Likes. Scroll.
Breakfast inhaled. Fingers through hair.
Like. Share. Like.
Back to the room for pants.
Glance in the mirror again. Frown.
Smile. Snap. Frown.
Dot dot dot
Dialing Mom. No answer.
Scroll. Sharon's photo. Frown. Like.
Read the other group text.
Grab the big shoulder bag.
Dot dot dot
Toss in a lipstick.
Mom is calling.
Grab the second charger.
Yes, we have two phones now, remember?
Yes, of course we need them.
