RANDOM POETRY IN LOCK-DOWN PART 1

Starts of Night
David S. Nicholson
April 10, 2020

 Stars of night I miss your embrace.
I long to watch the sun come up over a wood fire.
To once more wrestle with drunken friends all night.

 Now there is fear of people being near you.
We walk alone and we stay alone.
No more is there a fire to gather around.

Falling Stars
David S. Nicholson
April 10, 2020

 Falling stars.
Shut inside.
Eat too much.
Drank too much.
Slept too much.
Didn't walk enough.
I keep hearing coughing.
Pusheen is looking at me!

Fields of Gold
David S. Nicholson
April 10, 2020

 Fields of gold wave in the wind.
The sun sets over the city.
We gather no more.

 Once we had conversations over coffee.
Now we have masks and gloves.
We gather no more.

 I remember Easter dinner with my family.
They are all gone now.
We gather no more.

 We played games and did puzzles.
Now there are signs saying to stay away.
We gather no more.

 When this is over will we rejoice?
After this curse will we dine together?
Or will we still gather no more?

As I Get Older

 Once a questioning child.
Once a man who knew the answers.
Now older and I see there are no answers.


Go Home

 Sun on my face.
Wind in my hair.
A cop yells get inside.
Maybe Laundry
David S. Nicholson
April 10, 2020

 Going for the mail today.
Maybe later I will do the laundry.
Wash my hands yet again.
Going to the Store
David S. Nicholson
April 10, 2020

 Going to the store soon.
Doing pickup as going in is bad.
Maybe a bottle of whisky.
As A Child We Played
David S. Nicholson
April 10, 2020

 Once we had great fun.
Then we had to become adults.
Later we wondered where the time went.

 As a child we played.
As adults we had more responsibility.
Older now we stay six feet apart.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
