The page is empty
white and bright
as the moon that's
high tonight


These little black squiggles
will hopefully make sense
 make you sigh
And sometimes giggle

The pressure is on
I'm my Jessie's partner
Buddy, assistant, (not really)
easier to twirl a baton.

To faithfully write
compose, deposit
words on a page
takes a little might.

brain exercises
that's what I'll call them
will keep my aging
brain from losses

healthy mental
alertness, awareness
intelligence and
thinking prowess.

Will be my reward
