Watching the Sun Rise

At first the sun's fingers
Poke up just a bit,
Seeming to find the ocean's ledge,
They grab a hold of it.

With radiant arms extended,
It raises itself higher,
Then sits upon the ocean's rim -
A fuzzy ball of fire.

Petunia Days

Morning tumbles into my arms,
I give a gentle hug,
Smooth down 
Her long gauzy dress,
Run my fingers through her rays
And braid sweet pea tendrils in blond pigtails.

Lifting up her quivering chin
I gaze into sapphire eyes,
Drawl encouraging morning words:
“Good” and “glory”,
“Dove”,
And she embraces the petunia day.

Kind Words

Raise your thoughts into the light
With yellow sun and starling flight.
And from a humble heart, uplift
To share kind words,
A loving gift.

Some Days

Some days I want to stay in bed,
Let flowery thoughts run through my head.
Some days I like to kick off shoes,
Run through our garden as I choose.
Until it’s time to work, I play,
And gift the world my best bouquet.

Child's Ode To Broccoli

More nutritious
Than a bean,
I do appreciate 
Your green,
But raw,
You are extremely crunchy,
Roasted,
Just a mushy-munchy.
Steaming 
Makes you awfully wet.
Sorry -
‘Still don’t like you yet!

Flower Pot

You could have picked a sturdy branch
In the maple tree.
You could have picked the birdhouse
Or a place near the chimney.

Perhaps a bush, perhaps the brush
Might be where you'd feel best,
But still it's nice you chose my pot
To build your lacy nest!

Word Games

A noun
It stands on solid ground
And may not want to fool around
With a verb who’d need to prove
That it could rouse it, make it move.
An adjective might think it best
To decorate it, get it dressed.
And prepositions, have you heard?
Connect them to another word.
 
Yet out of all the nouns I’ve known
Some prefer 
To stand alone.
 
The End.

Arrival

Summer arrived,
and the fuzz buzz of bees,
so did the fireflies'
flicker and tease,
so did the peepers
and green leaves on trees,
and the mellow of sun
to do as it pleased.

Dog, It's Snowing

Little dog, firmly standing your ground
at the back door
no, you won't budge
not one pound of your nine
you will not near the cold snowy bank of the yard
shivering at just the thought
with chills blowing past the doorway, rattling down your warm hall

Big dog bustles by
and in one leap
is snowbound and smiling
no way to get him back inside.

The Moon and I

The moon and I
With cups of tea
Share a laugh and memory.
With ups and downs
Our paths twist far
Though always guided by the star.
