Holiday Crisis
The holiday food prepared and ready
a restful sleep lost, your nerves unsteadyThe morning reeks of impending doom
a rotten menagerie like stinky perfumeA holiday crisis with no time to spare
the food ruined and nothing to shareWith two days left and no time to waste
you run to the store with the greatest of hasteYou find a new fridge with high cooling power
and it can be quickly installed within an houryour holiday saved with a lucky break
as you start all over and remake the cake-Poem by Justin Germino
This poem inspired by an issue I had last year where my refrigerator overheated right before Christmas and spoiled all of the food in my fridge. I had to quickly look at shopping deals at all the local retailers just two days before Christmas and hope I could find a new fridge and have it delivered same day or next day.
I did compare shopping prices at several local stores and finally settled on a Whirlpool fridge and a store that could deliver the next day, so my holiday crisis was averted last year. Though I must admit this wouldn’t be as big a problem if I would have invested some time in looking at freezers I could have quickly transferred my food from my fridge to a freezer and not lost all of those groceries, but alas I didn’t have a backup.

Appetizers
The beauty in this fine food
puts you into a peculiar moodJovial taste buds buzzing in delight
lips rhythmical in a smacking fightThe last bite has you reminiscing
taste you have always been missingLike a chemical flavor enhancer
one that doesn’t cause cancerA little sick twisted depravity
a trajectory involving simple gravityCatching the piece in your mouth
it could have missed and went southOne tender morsel is all that is left
you would unfriend whomever commits this theftThe final piece ingested by you
meal consumed you then bid adieu-Poem by Dragon Blogger

20 Oct 2009
Damaged Cabinets is about a carpenter who sees imperfection in his work only to realize he was seeing things. It was inspired by the 9 random words (in blue) provided by the following twitter followers:
@SusanBerland (cabinets), @SurfCityJay (generated), @filigreegirl (contrapositive), @shonie1966 (nodule), @TrinaMB (patience), @yearning4d_sky (mirage), @purple_froggy (vex), @augustday1962 (unsurpassed), @shemah (seraglio), @organizedwife (Train)[powerpress image="http://www.wandererthoughts.com/images/wandererthoughts300.jpg"]
Damaged Cabinetry
Contrapositive imperfection baffles me
a twisted nodule appears in perfect symmetryA vex for sure, my patience wearing thin
I have to fix the wood, but where do I beginHow were these slight defects generated
ruined cabinets that once were veneratedElegant framing fit for a palace seraglio
were more expensive than you would knowUnsurpassed craftsmanship now in question
this could be my first and last impressionI train for situations, just like these
repairing wood like a doctor cures diseaseGrabbing a hand saw and a wood file
this project would surely take a whileBut before my work is about to start
and I begin to take the drawer apartThe damaged wood seems alright instead
a mirage it was, all inside my head-Poem by Dragon Blogger
