Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein
flowers bloom gladly
amongst the rich country fields
smiling at the day
one flower rests so pure
leisurely growing within
brave colors abound
Align every part
Of yourselves for Victory
Intelligently!
Keep up the great work, Everyone!
Sincerely,
Uncle Lar
Phone Call
Complain about it—
but nobody really listens—
“Sorry! Can you hold?”
“What was your question?
That is not our department—
Sorry! Can you hold?”
“May I assist you?
The problem is probably
Your end. Can you hold?”
“Customer Service,
Brian speaking. You have what?
Ship it back to us.
“Must be original
package. Everything as it was.
About two, three weeks.
“We cannot accept
if you lose original package.
Right, Have a nice day.”
Sorry, dear Brian—
But it’s too late now for me
To have a nice day…

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Please let there be much
More to me than meets the Eye
Intelligently!

wet fallen leaves wait
for winters snow cool cover
layer upon layer rests
Yesterday night was
Cold near where I live, to the
Point that frost appeared!
Bon Jovi says it—
just the way things really are—
bon mots from rock stars?
Stranger things happen...
"When the world gets in my face
say 'Have a nice day!'"
How about that for
Turn the other cheek with a
Touch of attitude...
Venom flames my face,
I still believe Amazing Grace—
But I bow to none...
Curse me, I forgive,
Let you walk on untouched—
But—Have a nice day...

As the Weekend comes,
I wish Health, Wealth, and Joy to
All of you today.
Have a GREAT Weekend!
Sincerely,
Uncle Lar
Thank you, Uncle Lar.
Well, it turned out nice again
As George Formby'd say.
Don't try holding
Emotions inside yourself
'Til you hit Ground Zero…
Burning furious,
Totally out of control—
Setting on Ground Zero…
Destruction highway,
Demolition flaming hell—
Countdown to Ground Zero…
Anybody got a plan?
Save the world and save this man?
Ticking down—Ground Zero…

Twittering sparrow
perched precariously now
sings of loneliness
A smile slowly forms
dissolving melancholy
I can start anew

Good Morning, Writers!
I hope your Weekends were fun.
Enjoy Your Monday!
Sincerely,
Uncle Lar
raining hard and fast
i felt a small bit annoyed
then i remembered
how beautiful plants
become after a spring wash
they sing out with joy
Row of tiny sprouts,
Barely poking leaflets out,
Corn crop coming in...
Cardinal flashes bright red,
Sings a song of "Wet, wet, wet."
Crops are needing rain...
Tiny Tendrils form,
Pumpkin vines sown among corn,
Halloween in time...
Catbird harmony,
Imitate any sound at all,
That he ever hears…
Life in the country,
The air is clear, plant my seed
Call it “Heavenly”…
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
