For should I recall anything at all
of trinkets obtained in memory's sha......

...Tiny boardwalk along the Halifax River
Waiting to see what “catch” nature will deliver

Royal Palms’ fronds rustle in fall’s gentle breeze
No noisy distractions from teens on their jet skis 

C......

...
Earth element of wind, elusive to exploring eyes,
a gaseous, gusty ghost, she gyrates- gallops gallantly.
She bashes, bends, and bobs the branches of each bush and tree,
and chases, circles,......

...I’d tell you my story, but where I’m from
it’s just a statistic

Joy, what makes you behave coy,
Coyness, a thing that would get a toy
From the soul, hands of a smart lil' boy

That his head bobs in saving his mother,

...One night I had a dream.  I heard a blood curdling scream.
It was death approaching me....
     Thirty-two years I've escaped the clutches of death
I'm exhausted and out of breath

...How the flower
Bobs and weaves
Sharing tea
With some bees

How the colour
Nods and sways
Breezy coolness
Sunlight rays

How the scent
Softly dances
Perfumed nose
Loving glances......

of the rain pounds outside
on the gravel driveway
In a steady calming beat in

                           that slumber in naked beds
                           that hold our attention from heart to head

near the sea-soaked teen; tail thrashes with glee
     as her amethyst hair......
