Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection

It's nice to have gotten through one week of summer school.

It's nice to know I'm moving into a new classroom next year and will have a studio and new computers.

It's nice to return to my former town and have drinks and food with old friends who I haven't seen in a while.

It's nice that I got my teeth fixed, even though they still feel a little wonky from the cleaning and fillings I needed.

It's nice that I'll be able to celebrate another Father's Day with my dad by taking him to brunch and spending the day with him.

...Okay, I'm going to bed.

Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.

Her curls lay in wet swaths around the warm nape of her neck. The statues would crumble in due time. The deluge was impending. We both would drown.
