Straight From The Hip Baffler

Heater Jumpin

That atmospheric time

fireplace sets it off

cause the Hawk has come

to nest and rest

Heater jumpin on and off

all night

temp dipped to 37

         But

its somethin bout this

time of year house is warm

cold outside gettin darker

earlier and earlier every day

feelin that brisk Fall wind

watchin leaves really leavin

the trees

Love the sound inside the house

heater jumpin on and off

make me grab a pen throw

a lil art together my Muse

kind of weather

This song is a favorite combative summer song by my favorite

R and B Funk group Isley Brothers been dealin with them since

the 60s got a lot of their music The Heat is On  youtube gots it

Straight From The Hip Baffler

Not one who craves attention

one that loves danger and adventure

Got this best friend named shadow

with me he always follow

he is everywhere I go

like me love to travel incognito

Never out to impress just b me

a mystifier a baffler beyond

the realm of reality

This one staight from the mind

not written down on paper

doing it real real straight off the computer

keyboard

At times do things like this

so easily bored

spur of the moment as I baffle

Feelin Blue Earth Wind N Fire Youtube

Early Mornin Write

3 or so in the mornin

like every night

for years now dealin

with this PTSD

eyes never shut tight

Not much for watchin TV

so I kinda just lay here hoping

to catch a few winks before

the night is over

A restless Soul fighting to

get a lil sleep

if I get any its always light

never deep

Well this morning here

maybe I will begin this

trend of a early morning

write

Music junkie since small child At the age

of 12 I remember this song love the part about the milkman

they really did used to deliver milk in the bottle with that fresh

cream on top early in the morning The song was tossin and turnin Bobby Lewis youtube it

Writing Groove

Aint got into that comfortable

Fall Winter mood to get into

that easy going smooth

rhythmic flow Its just the

atmosphere aint quite

right yet still kinda warm

heater aint jumpin on and off

leaves aint turned brown hitting

the ground aint dark at 5 yet

but Muse makes me sit down

pick up that pen get it movin

get on down with that writing

groove

My favorite Rock group is the Rolling Stones

I have two forty fives I bought in high school

still have them one 45 was get off my clou the

other no satisfaction by the Stones I sometimes

have to tell Muse I Cant Get No Satisfaction Rolling Stones

youtube got it

Darkness

Power outage 38 hours

sittin in the dark out here

in these country boonies

No lights no water phone

not charged talkin bout misery

love company

We live in the country  electricity

we got to have it its our entertainment

I old school got the turn tables no music

no Tv Computer need the electro

Sittin in the dark look out bedroom window

two  very tall security light poles out and

talk about scary lookin Dark shadows large trees

black sky wind whippin and trippin like

nobody business

All I can do is sit here quietly think about

Curtis Mayfield song and that title Right On For The Darkness

You tube got it

The Lake

Just a calmin Fall day

at the lake

the waters r calm just

smooth waves rollin in

hit the bank disperse as others

wave on in

Its a peaceful feelin the lake

am parked 20 feet away

to view the lake as it stands

through n through

Always a calmin feelin I get

just nearly everyday ridin stoppin

by the lake

Just a treasure of a pleasure

hearing the water flow n

hit the bank

My beautiful creator always a

enormous thanks

 This lake is man made Its a nuclear plant

i worked for two years as a scaffold builder

adventurous dangerous job During that time

I listened to a lot Bob Seger and the Silverbullets a favorite

rock group they had this song out Fire Lake Youtube has it I

think about that song each time I go to the lake

I Write Just To Write

I dont write for comments

I dont write to inspire

Waterfall

Soothing sound of the

waterfall

which really not a waterfall

at all

Its a sprinkler system

set up in this small pond

in this quaint small town

all part of a park with walking

trail playground for small kids

fishing dock to fish from

and the refreshing sounds of

water

pleasing to Vets like me

dealin with PTSD

A nice song I always liked is Waterfalls by three young

ladies known as TLC

Walkin The Walk

Remember growin up in the

rough and tumble inner city

Our growin up Baby Boomer generation

none of that gang killings jus raw

down survival that was the common

nitty gritty

Food on the table a place with a roof

thats how we grew up

no cars no bycycles it was all about

them feet and legs city bus or walk

you will never know the meaning of good ole days

until you old and grey you will look back

smile and say

Walking the walk wasnt bad at all

FResh out the Army right out of Vietnam walking

was our transpo We were listening to Walking In Rhythm

by the Blackbyrds back then you tube got it
