When the author of forever sang 
his serenade,
‘twas longing in a virgin’s heart,
the strings he played.
So liltingly and stirringly 
did words cascade,
they conjured scent of rose bouquets
in serenade.

Of everlasting love he crooned
in serenade.
Bliss never is inopportune.
His lure was laid.
As sweet refrains flowed through her veins,

Dancing, laughing, praising
Psalms of leaves, breathtaking
Whispering joy – kindness
Poetry so stirring, earthshaking

It’s the time for creatures
To gather their nuts and leaves

Smiling like the moonlight
Who silences the stars, nocturnal
Blessings raining through life
Assuring the spirit of the eternal

It’s the...

As I sit here upon this full moon,
it is October not hot June.
The comets whiz by playing a happy tune,
they make me want to swoon.
 
The space between stars is not empty hooray,
it is filled with colors of blue and gray.
I love to watch by...

Many have told me it's all about "me"
every time I hear that I want to flee
let's talk it over
don't act like a rover
I always like to make it about we.



What can I say to you about "myself"
I feel you put me on a bookshelf
hearing your...

What a pretty day,
sitting watching bees play.
My yellow sunflower bends.
I am perched up high,
friends will go by.

She's too skinny. She's too fat.
He's too white. He's too black.

She's too pretty. She's not hot.
He wears stripes. He likes dots.

She's too quiet. She's too loud.
He's too humble. He's to proud.

She's too much a lady....

My life starts as a lovely rose bud,
I come in many beautiful colors.
Red roses tell a story of love and romance, 
while white roses show herself as innocent and pure.
My buds will open up...

Did you read about me going up a hill,
that was with Jack not with Bill.
Guess you know my drill,
"Jack and Jill" sure had a big thrill.

My dear friend "Little Jack Horner," 
loved sitting in the corner.
I wanted to be outside but he was a mourner,
he...

Why is the middle where I put a book down?
My anticipation dies at that half-read interlude.
I lack the discipline that keeps me inbound.
A famous author's endings should be praised, and not eschewed....

The very hot summer is coming to a close,
fresh cool weather is in the air.
I love my walks on autumn days,
it puts a giddy up in my steps.
Off to the pretty park we will go,
looking for the In Marked Territory area.
The grass seems much greener,
with...
