shooting hoops, ringing their little bells,
watching Little House On The Prairie and
dancing to 70s Southern Rock anthems.
And here’s a new Jannie song mp3 for you… DO YOU DREAM It’s 2:40 long.
Still in rough-mix stage. Piano and harmony vocals yet to be added.
If you can’t save it to your computer and want to, let me know and I’ll e-mail you the clip.
Sure hope you are well and will have a great weekend!!
~~ The Jannie

Write a poem on a chocolate morning
when the parakeets are trading recipes
and the cat’s already into the beer.
Write a poem at noon when the bacon
leaps from the fridge and fries itself into
a frenzy of hip-shaking mardigras magic.
Write a poem in the mashed potatoes
stuffed into the hollows of old oaks and
clumped onto the thighs of the moon.
Sleep ten days. Wake and write a poem
on the rejuevenated skin of your cheeks
all plump with vikings in pink velvet.
And since fives are magical… write a
fifth poem on palmetto leaf at the dinosaur
disco your dreams will dance in tonight.
whooohooo, one for Tuesday Open Link Night at dVerse Poets.

Ice patches.
Rough patches.
Calm patches.
Patches on a marriage
in spots, but the seams
triple-stitched to last.
Vintage 70s patches
lookin’ so groovy.
September apricot patches
on a cute little curious cat.
Sail to the kitchen
or maybe the moon
and you might return
to find that curious cat
in your patches patch too.
Those were 55 words of Friday Flash Fiction for The G-Man.
FFF goes live Thursdays at 8:00 Michigan Time!
Write fiction in 55 words, post it and tell G-Man — he’ll comment and put you in his good books.

A purring cat who’s overtaken
the most comfy part of your chair
reminds you you’re loved completely.
A parakeet-curious cat reminds you
to be extra vigilant while those birdies
hang out and write with you during the day.
A dancing cat reminds you that
pansies are always blooming somewhere
and heaven ever giving birth to stars within you.
It’s Tuesday! Whooohoooo.
The dVerse Poets are alive and rockin’!
And worry not — no parakeets or cats were harmed in the creation of this post.

she posed
in the red shirt her mother bought her for Christmas, 1987.
And the jeans Trixie gave her for Christmas, 2002.
In the studio she also did this…
and this…
At one point she even walked in and out of the room
not realizing the guys were cutting the actual tracks.
But that probably only added to the rhythm’s flair.
There was munching of popcorn,
swilling of some ultra-fine coffee,
and ever steady at the helm…
Captain George guiding
the tallship with a smile
through the ocean of sound.
whoooohooooo.
(Photos 1 & 2 taken via her timer.)
And HAPPY NEW YEAR, you wonderful peeps!
