What’s “slow sledding”?
Blind with no heading?
Forward in reverse?
What a way to traverse!

Strange phrases I hear,
That zoom past the ol’ ear,
Many leaving me puzzled,
Quite often even befuddled,

A colloquial turn of phrase,
That makes my eyes glaze,
I don’t mean to sound dumb,
But where did these come from?

The moon is really bright,
At least she seems tonight,

She’s always been one to shine,
But tonight it’s just divine,

Wow what a superior glow,
Illuminating the earth below,

A solo beacon in the night,
The moon’s silver light,

Why read into something that’s not there,
Isn’t there enough drama to spare?
It’s natural for life to have ups and downs,
But wouldn’t you rather have smiles than frowns?
No one says you must be positive 24-7,
But your outlook could use some leaven,
Why is it harder to see the good and not bad?
Must your resolute negativity be so ironclad?
For once try not thinking the absolute worst,
Not everything in life is always cursed,
Not everyone says things between the lines,
Nor is life littered with danger signs,
It’s not really as bad as everything seems,
Just for once embrace your hopes and dreams,

I love him to death but woo!
That boy is stuck to me like glue,
I really do love having him around,
But I’m the fox and he’s the hound,
He’s tracking every move I make,
Right from the moment he’s awake,
There’s no place to run or hide,
He’s looking for another back ride,
It’s a constant shuffle and race,
I just want a few moments of space,
But I can’t pry him off with a lever,
I only want a few minutes not forever,
He only does it because he loves me,
But I do need a few minutes free,

She steps into the clouds,
A star amongst cotton shrouds,

Burning effortlessly and untamed,
Her golden rays are wildly aimed,

She dances gracefully across the sky,
A celestial ballet performed up high,

A strange mixture of sweetness and fire,
Her generosity only matched by her ire,

Bestowing both warmth and light,
An angel of orange hair and white,
