Time for a Break

If you’re always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you’re in? ~Author Unknown

Stella D’Oro Daylillies

Even nature takes a little break.

She pauses between each season

To catch her breath, so to speak.

Within a season too,

Flowers bloom and rest.

All of us need

Some time off.

Don’t you

Think?

 

Note: As you probably guessed, it’s time for me to take a wee pause. Happy Fathers’ Day to all the dads reading this, and I’ll be back shortly. By the way, this poetry form is a Nonet, nine lines with a decreasing number of syllables in each line.

Be Back Soon

Dallas here.

It’s time for a brief break.

Mom is up to her eyeballs — caring for Grandma, doing a new web design project, and trying to get back to her novel-in-progress — and I’m NOT pinch-hitting for her.

Not this time.

As you can see, I’m tired, too.

Time to catch our breath. Renew our enthusiasm. Take a social media holiday.

Back soon, okay?

Time for a break!

Time for a break!
