Rays of sunshineBeat on the treeSunlight weaves its wayForming patterns on the grass The largest sunlit patchA tanning bed for the dogHis owner rests on the benchWatching people enter the park A yellow disc on his lapWaiting for the perfect timeTo engage the dog in funHis eye catches her approach Stepping from the benchA whistleContinue reading “Soaring Disc”

A Bright Yellow Crown
D andelions adorned in a bright yellow crownA s wishes take flight, imagination aboundsN arrow stems, waltz with the windD raped in yellow, the bees’ golden dance beginsE arly blooms – ambrosia for the beesL ion’s tooth, jagged leaves stand tallI n gardens you root, deep in the groundO pen petals reflect the day’s warmthNContinue reading “A Bright Yellow Crown”
So Many Orchids, So Little Time
O bsessive lovers of orchids uniteR adiant blooms steal the showC ascading flowers on slender stemsH anging with grace, in tropical treesI dyllic orchids charm with exotic beautyD onkey orchids bellow with drooping earsS o many orchids, so little time
Listen Closely
Listen closely to the raindrops fallingBouncing lightly as they hit the groundSplish, splash Landing in puddles that form all aroundSplish, splash Adorning the leaves with barely a soundSplish, splash Listen closely to our deep breathing Rose petals unfurl, bursting with bloomsSsssss, sssuuuusss Raindrops on leaves share their perfumeSsssss, sssuuuusss The sweetest scents sing their ownContinue reading “Listen Closely”
since the sun goes too
The sun beating down on everything in its pathThe air, so humid, feels like a hot bath.So I sit beneath a huge canopied tree,Hoping for relief, oh please, let me be. The sun goes down, but the heat’s still high,The moonlit night feels heavy and sighs.The morning burns bright, with more heat to bear,We’re livingContinue reading “since the sun goes too”
The Tree
Spring arrives as teardrop buds nudge winter from the garden Temperatures riseEncouraging budsTo look to the sunWhile emerging petalsMake a colorful debut Summer coaxes the magnolia blossomstheir beauty on full displaywhite flowers pepper green leaves,a striking contrast of lifeThe blossoms’ beauty fades,Lonely leaves remain Their fragrance drifts freely,carried far and wide by the wind QuietContinue reading “The Tree”
Blue Jeans Mood
I like to wear my blue jeans to work,Comfort and casual – it’s a small perk.Run to the store before your day starts,Or head out to dinner with your sweetheart. Jeans are flexible, they’re great when you cook,Add high heels, and you change the whole look.Knees poking through is trendy to some,For others it’s likeContinue reading “Blue Jeans Mood”
Dessert Dream
I’m standing at the pearly gate,There’s a line, but I don’t mind the wait. I turn around, and try to sneak out,But notice the beauty, take a circuitous route. A lounge made of clouds fits just right,Bouncy and fluffy, made with air, so they’re light. We’ve been given the greatest breakroom,Plants and flowers, are allContinue reading “Dessert Dream”
A Finger to Hold
My heart surgeswhen you wrap your tiny hand around my finger –holding so tight and not letting go –sucking so hard to get enough milkwhile you look around with those big brown eyesthat lock onto mine –making me smile at you,which changes the shape of my eyes –and that makes you look even harder atContinue reading “A Finger to Hold”
Finding Myself in the Silence
