8 O'CLOCK

evening shadows
            porchlights bright
evening walking
            dog by my side
no longer hungry
not yet tired

it's eight o'clock
            and I'm just fine

sunset's gone
            the sky still glows
evening strolling
            moving along slow
no longer thinking
not yet asleep

it's eight o'clock
            shadows are deep

windows are lit
            people sit outside
couples move in silence
            I linger and smile
not longer lonely
yet still alone

eight o'clock
            soon I'll head home

eight o'clock
eight o'clock
            the best time
            the very best time

evening shadows
            porchlights bright
evening walking
            dog by my side
no longer hungry
not yet tired

eight o'clock
            and I'm just fine

A dozen years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.

HAPPINESS POEM ABOUT EVERYDAY JOY,
LIFE POEMS ABOUT QUIET HAPPINESS

Call it a happiness poem,
in the plural call them happiness poems.
Call them happy poems.
Call them poems about happiness.
Call it happy poetry.

There's everyday contentment, joy, happiness.
It's nothing much, and it's everything.

And what form would be best?

Ode? Haiku?
Sonnet?

Would it depend
on the words that come from deep within?

And then happiness poem,
happiness poetry -
so unpoetic.

What about calling it ...
ode to joy?
song of contentment?

Who knows?

But who is searching for an ode to joy,
for everyday joy?

Anyway it's a life poem
about happiness.

Happiness shows, glows,
whatever the form.
