My kind of rain

She's my kind of rain

Like love in a drunken sky
She's confetti falling
Down all night

She sits quietly there
Like water in a jar
Says, Baby why are you
Trembling like you are

So I wait
And I try
I confess like a child
She's my kind of rain

Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

She's the sunset's shadows
She's like Rembrandt's light
She's the history that's made at night

She's my lost companion
She's my dreaming tree
Together in this brief eternity

Summer days, winter snows
She's all things to behold

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

So I wait
And I try
I confess all my crimes

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

Oh, rain on me

Ode to the magical cat

A wispy grey kitty
in a gypsy box kiosk
a tea party granny
in a tabby grey dress

but once a new baby
a campus cat princess
a college co-ed girfriend
all fancy and frisky

Our bff best bud
In dorm rooms, apartments
backyards and bedrooms
winters and summers

when it wasn't so crowded

we were together
me a Chinese waitress
and you Cinderella

then a cherished cheshire
a cheese-head bret favre girl
sleeping and dreaming
with barbie and friends

scratch my chin here
rub my head there
and you'll see my paw thumping
up and down in the air

Frankie we'll miss you
our girl with a boy's name
Our little Miss Magic
we'll be wishing to you

Superman, Good Friday, and New Beginnings

 A few years ago, on the morning of Good Friday, I texted my siblings to remind them of their afternoon responsibilities. "It's Goo...
