Karen's Kanvas: Autom Memories!

Its  October 11,at3;16 ,
at this second only a couple lines  fill this screen ,
I'm wide  awake, but yawning hard ,
was listening to John Tesh ,Inteligence for your life ,not   Books on Bard,
   On an NLS player ,
not Musicians ,Lady Gaga or John  mayer,
Not my favorites ,not even close ,
been awhile ,since anything here,I did post ,
At one point ,the radio went off  and silence I heard. 
But,not for  long ,it wasn't a Owl or a bird ,
Yet ,it was  probably a few College  Guys ,
Outside my bedroom  window ,not far is the  Court ,
in the faint but near distance ,I heard                          dribbling ,playing hoops ,wish they would  abort ,
Their Game ,don't get me  wrong ,Basketball,isn't lame ,
its just night ,is the time  to  sleep.   heal the body ,renew the mind ,
dream , sort out problems ,solutions not yet defined.
 
 
Sitting here in my PJ's   and slippers ,unshowered ,hair crazy ,mind of its own,
quiet, now! just hear the computer  fan ,
The guys,they must have ran,
Who knows! probably sleeping ,but will be back                       for more ,
I'm not alone ,Joycie is here ,curled up on the floor.
 
 
She did  hear Mommy wake ,
as my footsteps, i did take ,
I must not have been  quiet for her ,
because ,she  would be sleeping ,where we were ,
in the bed  snoaring away,
and I'm going to be a zombie ,in the Board meeting ,later today.
 
 
 
Yet ,as I said ,I could not sleep , and this poem,it took form in the middle of the night ,
so ,here I am.  this ,I do write.
 
Autom has many Memories for me ,
That you will soon see,
some good ,some bad ,
some fun ,some sad ,
Yet ,its still,my favorite season ,
my favorite  of all ,
and here are the Memories I do recall.
 
 
Cooler  weather ,vibrant colored leaves,
  crisp air ,bare , dead trees,
flu and cold ,one does sneeze ,
Brisk ,strong  wind ,cheecks rosey ,
fuzzy blankets ,pillows ,beds so cozy,
Midterm exams , papers written ,
long sleeves ,not needed yet  scarfs ,hats & mittens,
Research Methods ,statistics , psychology and Math ,
declaring a major multiple times , taking another   path,
Began as a Special Ed teacher ,,Counseling Theory ,Communications ,History ,
Eventually ,Human Studies ,Psychology  Degree ,

Multiple  eye surgeries ,microscopic incisions, 
Partial sight lost within  21 days ,

no images ,dim light ,
Lost my way ,faith ,became depressed ,
didn't know who I was! didn't know what was best ,

Divorced ,single again ,its just me and this pup of mine.
 
 
 
Ice  skating , ballet ,skateboarding ,

Wedding Anniversary's , hot chocolate with peppermint shnapps ,riding bikes ,
Hay rides ,carmel apples ,long hikes ,
Nyquil,    vapor rub ,
long showers or hot baths in the tub,
Hot Toddy's , disgustingly strong  and warm ,
Hurricanes ,sleet ,Thunderstorms,
reading books in bed ,mystery's , watching  TV.
 
 
Horror movies ,scary films growing up ,I wouldn't see ,
had  too much sight , didn't like the blood  and gore,
but now,I go back for more!
 
 
I  love Halloween ,
silly   Costumes , Thrillers ,  and piercing  screams ,
funny looks ,frightening faces ,,crazy mood ,
can be  anything for one night ,strange ,comical ,down right rude ,
won't  get arested ,at least most ,
not self ,party host.
 
 
Two  special Weddings did attend ,,Champaign Toast ,
Hot soup , potatoes  and roast ,
Attending class twice at the Seeing Eye in Morristown ,
leaves ,crisp ,dry and brown ,
Hot Apple cider , leaves wraking ,
running ,jumping,in them leaping ,
seeing  one's breath in the cool air, waiting for the school bus ,we did stood,
Fireplace ,crackling firewood ,
hot, ,yellow , blue flames,
playing cards and other board games,
scrabble  we would play ,
  Funerals ,a few special people,did pass away ,
,reading Short stories ,writing  creatively ,
playing Piano ,music notes ,sight reading , and shooting hoops ,basketball,
That,is all,that I do recall.
