Porch Poet

porch collage
P inkish hues of spider’s silk
O ranges, yellows, whites like milk
R eds and greens in varying tints
C apture the sun’s rays as they glint
H ere on the mums, there on a wing
P rompting retreat to shade covered things
O ppressive, this air you can cut with a knife
E ven the bird, like dragon, still life
T oday’s one for dwelling, musing, no movement
S o hoping tomorrow will bring some improvement

Hi everyone! Welcome to 50 Shades of Gray Hair. 50 Shades is my blog of life over the hill, where each day is full of delicious opportunities to earn another gray hair. I stopped declaring war on the gray when I began this blog years ago. Instead, I embrace and celebrate them along with whatever life decides to throw my way, with (sarcasm forward) humor and an optimistic eye to the future. I think. I hope? I don't know. At any rate...it's real, it's honest, it's full of 4 letter words, and it's me...on a platter. I sincerely welcome you all to my porch....♥♥Rhonda

      1. I figure SB that if I can’t write for the blog, any blogging I do is going towards reading my favorites. Probably my blog will die a slow painful death, but I’d miss the hell out of you guys if I wasn’t around.

        1. Oh, just thinking it makes my stomach roll over…thinking of you not being around. Don’t decide just yet…maybe one a month? one a quarter? But whatever happens, just don’t go wandering into those great north woods and get lost…speaking of…my youngest left Alaska Friday morning…driving to St Cloud Minnesota…he was in the Yukon last I heard from him more than 28 hours ago…say a prayer to the Great Beaver for me…this is proving almost too much.

          1. It’s a compromise, I think. I have a longer piece I’m working on that is drawing my attention, all of it. So I can’t fathom posting on the blog until that’s done. I dunno when it’ll be done. I figure it’ll be over by end of year. But I refuse to not be around and read the people who matter to me (like you).

            Good grief – your kid is taking quite a trip. Hang in there, SB.

            1. It’s good that you are focused on a long piece. It’s definitely something you have in you that’s for sure. Still no word from him…going on two days now. I should think he’s out of the YT and into Edmonton by now…at least I’m hoping. This shit is for the birds!
