Boogie Boarding
by
Gregory K.
Waves
Break
I zoom
On white foam
‘Til I glide to shore
Then the ocean roars, “One more ride!”

It's a Fib inspired by a recent whirlwind trip...

Flight.
Lights!
Cab ride.
Checking in.
Let the games begin!
Sigh. Bye, Vegas. Next time I’ll win....

TESTING MY NERVES
By
Gregory K.
Shake.
Quake.
Dry mouth.
Sweaty hands.
Can’t relax, can’t rest --
It must be time for my math test.
Yep, that's another Fib (this one fitting in for both National Poetry Month and Math Awareness Month).
I'm posting an original poem each day in April in celebration of National Poetry Month. Links to this and other poems here on GottaBook (and I post all year round, because poetry is NOT just for April!) are collected over on the right of the blog under the headline "The Poems".

It's my first Fib of April (a few days after the second anniversary of Fibbery!)....
CAT

Gregory K.
Purr.
Purr.
I’m Cat.
Stretch and groom.
Sleep deep… and then zooooom!
Chasing something only I know.

Mark V. Tushnet is William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. He is the author of fifteen books, most recently Out Of Range: Why the Constitution Can’t End the Battle Over Guns. Out Of Range is honest guide to both sides of the 2nd amendment debate and an insightful analysis of how our view of the 2nd amendment reflects our sense of ourselves as a people. Part of Oxford’s Inalienable Rights Series, Tushnet’s book challenges our views of one of our most controversial freedoms, the right to bear arms. In the post below Tushnet lays out the argument. Be sure to check back tomorrow for part two.
With Constitution Day today, it seems like a good time to talk about a constitutional issue that’s likely to get to the Supreme Court’s attention pretty soon: the Second Amendment. Shortly after it opens its term in October the Supreme Court will decide whether to hear an appeal from the District of Columbia challenging a court of appeals decision striking down the city’s ban on handgun possession as a violation of the Second Amendment’s guarantee of the “right to keep and bear arms.” (more…)
I'm wishing for some ocean...
I like your "fib" about surfing. You had some real killer waves out there in California recently, didn't you?
Hi, Greg. Thanks for joining the Poetry Friday fray and for providing a virtual moment at the beach for me!
Great to connect, as always. (Thanks for the sweet shout-out, too!)
Sylvia
I love it! Captures the motion of boogie boarding so nicely!
You know I love these poems. This one really captures the experience.
