Because I Need One Today

HAPPY LIST PART II
Night prowls with flashlights on Halloween
sighs and whisperings
going barefoot around the house
compulsions
singing in the shower and when you
think no one can hear
window seats and bready-smelling
mazes of bookracks
stockings hung from the chimney
with care
a warm crackling fire
a walk down a pine-needled path
daydreamers
checking the faces of departing movie-
goers in an attempt to determine the
quality of the film
infatuation kept under wraps
killer Scrabble games
being the only group of friends
in the movie theater
list-lovers
spending time in the baby's nursery after
everyone is sleeping
when the sky has lost the sunlight
but not yet found the stars
the study of wind-resistance conducted by
holding a cupped hand out the
car window
poinsettias
the first frost coming without a whisper
achievements
the habit of making distinctions
bringing beauty and meaning into life
singing in a choir

Have something to say? Yay! Unless its insulting, in which case, go away.

I'm nothing but a lone wolf, misunderstood and labeled to be dangerous.
