@Harmonium1923 Oh, I've learned my lesson...

If you wear leopard print,
You will win our arguments
Every time.

In truth, there would be
No arguments,
Because I’d agree to anything.
Or just lose the power of speech.

The magic of leopard print
Is even more powerful
When it’s a secret.

Try telling me this:
“I’m wearing leopard print,
You just can’t see it.”
And see what happens.

I want you to be wild
And dangerous,
And beautiful.

I want you to cuddle,
And purr,
And scratch.

I want to know you are in leopard print.
I want to know you.
I want you.
@Harmonium1923 I wore it today

I once read that Cloud 9
Has a scientific basis,
Developed by scientists,
To classify the weather.

But I prefer not to know the details
Just as I prefer not to know
The scientific explanation
Of a rainbow.

To be on Cloud 9
Or over the rainbow
Is to be somewhere magical
And beyond explanation.
French toast and strawberries.

I'm thinking with my stomach today

@Bexsy

The proper time
For French toast and strawberries.
Is Saturday at 11am.

It must be Saturday
So that there is leftover challah
From Friday night.

It must be 11am
So there is time
Both to buy strawberries
At the farmers market
And to work up an appetite.

That which is worth doing
Is worth doing well,
And with the proper company.

Some day
We will have breakfast together
On Saturday at 11am.

As a child
I never knew why
It was always sunny on airplanes.

We’d take off in the rain,
Then leave the clouds behind.

As an adult
I understand the clouds,
Both literal and metaphorical.

I know the beauty of rising above it all
But not why we return to the rain.

Airlines specialize
In managing down
Our expectations.

Did you ever imagine
You’d be so grateful
For one extra inch of legroom?

When flying five hours,
We sigh in ecstasy
For 16 free peanuts
And 4 ounces of soda.

It’s like an awkward hand job
After years of celibacy—
Not exactly what you dreamed about
But blissful satisfaction nonetheless.

@Harmonium1923 Brilliant.
