i doze in my chair
with accompaniment of
crickets and frogs
the campfire slowly fades
into the midnight hour

the airplane
departed without me
a decision
to stay one more day
or maybe forever


Sometimes pivotal decisions can be ruled by fear. When fear is let go, the free mind can make a clear decision and serenity prevails. Roy Kindelberger is a children’s writer, poet, and teacher from Edmonds, WA.

I've had a tanka prose published to this online magazine. Extremely well done. Great job to all of the poets and artists involved!

Here's my contribution:




I​ found a man with his hands in his face. Defeated. A former teacher, now in his late seventies. His Alzheimer’s progresses rapidly. Along with other health concerns. A list. He has trouble communicating his needs. But this is clear. As he sits on a bench. Clear, he’s emotionally exhausted. I go over and sit next to him.

deaths door
opens wider each day
a new journey
silently i put my arm
around his shoulder
​

Roy Kindelberger​​ is an elementary teacher and memory care manager. He lives in Edmonds WA. Roy says: “As I make my journey through a memory care home, helping residents, I feel a connection. Even if it’s only for a moment. That connection of a handshake, a hug, a tear, a story, or a laugh. It most certainly puts things into perspective.”

I have two haiku in Jumble Box. I’m extremely excited.
 
Here they are:
 
the way--
the circle he paces
at the home

falling leaves--
the day a tree branch broke
beneath my feet

I'm proud to share a recently published poem: https://coloradoboulevard.net/poetry-corner-building-bridges/ 

Here's my poem as well: 

Roy Kindelbergera return
to an old manuscript
feels like new
a walk on the bridge where i
took the picture years ago
​
​Roy Kindelberger of Bothell, Washington, shows a solid bridge of words reaching from past to present in this subtle strong poem. ​We all know the feeling of déjà vu​ and its power of transforming our feelings. ​Roy says: “It’s about mending the past. Bridges were broken.​” Words of strong feeling are memorable and have power to connect and mend.​

Enjoy!

I realized I hadn't posted a short poem that was published in July. Well, here it is:

meteor shower
on a midnight walk
stops us at a fountain
cascades upwards and down again
there’s always more
