April Cheer Pepper – Day 16

Posted on by Controlled Chaos

Try to plan for the

Future, but it’s slippery

I can’t quite catch it

It moves way too fast

I can’t quite get a good look

And see it’s true shape

It is soft spoken

I can’t quite catch the message

It’s trying to send

I can almost smell

The scents and perfumes of it

But only a whiff

Its taste is on the

Tip of my tongue, but it’s like

It’s a memory

April Cheer Pepper – Day 14

Posted on by Controlled Chaos

You’ll get up early

I instruct myself as I

Go to bed at night

Technically I do

I get up when my husband’s

Alarm wakes us up

Wish him a good day

As he gets ready for work

And kiss him goodbye

Then I lie back down

“Only for a little bit”

But then hours pass

And then once again

I have failed at getting up

When I wanted to

I guess my body

Must be needing all this sleep

That it is getting

But I could also

Put good use to all that time

I’ve lost to sleeping

And so the cycle

Of hope and then frustration

Keeps going around

April Cheer Pepper – Day 7

Posted on by Controlled Chaos

Yesterday I chipped

Off part of the porcelain

Covering my crown

That sounds quite silly

Until you find out that it’s

A part of my tooth

I accidentally

Ended up swallowing it

That part of my crown

There’s a porcelain

Bit floating around somewhere

Inside of me now

I called my dentist

And she didn’t seem worried

Because there’s no pain

She’ll fix me right up

As soon as the pandemic

Loosens it’s grip some

Because you cannot

Be an effective dentist

From six feet apart
