Would you go swimming or fishing with an eighty foot strong hook, flippers, a basket hat, and a toothbrush tail? Bullfrog wants to. He wants to consistently visit the waters to engage in the flow and ebb and weave of the stylish currents. Duty bound...

Every day, when I get dressed,
No matter how I’m feeling,
I choose the clothes that, comfort-wise,
I find the most appealing.

I may not see another soul,
(My husband, though, excluded)
Yet for my day to rock and roll,
I would be quite deluded…

If nothing dangled near my face,
For earrings are...

I say the love was lost when he goes there and do the unexpected.
Its like he wanted to hurt me so he used sex as a weapon.
I think I would be a fool to ask was it unprotected.
But I suspected it to be more than...

HOT EARRINGS

Tri-tangled and brushing 
Along your cheek 
As you take a sip 

Click, click, click 

Your hair crosses over your skin 
Bliss 

I wish I could 
Kiss, kiss, kiss 

Your jaw is slipping forward as you 
Drink and mint 
Drink and mint...

She liked to wear long earrings
The ones that danced about her face
Moving about keeping up with her pace
The long coloured feathers she wore
She surely adored, she caught a dream
With a smile in-between, who could ask for more!
Those long coloured beads no one could read
Small glass...

After grandma’s death, no one could find grandma's best earrings.
Pink pearled delights that grandma liked best, they were quite rare.
Gram’s best friend Jenny helped us look; but they were nowhere found.
We accused each other of stealing, three granddaughters, playing around.

The other two had not visited...

First outings (not a date exactly)
someone you’re impressed with. 
You trot out your best anecdotes 
and venture small confidences.

You have to decide which “you” to show
- the serious-seeming student, the ditz,
the pianist, the Tom Brady fan, the writer.
He does an impression of Tom Hanks
that was...

Today is her birthday ring all the bells
Today is her birthday for one who excels 
Today be prepared ~ be warned ~ be aware

The grooviest grandma 
With flowing red hair
Will be hitting the town
In her gold lamé gown
    
On the tiniest of...

Blue gems dangle
From sterling silver stems
Gently nestled in the box next to the matching bangle
He kissed his gift to her with wishes and whims
She ripped open the wrapping on Christmas day
And has wore the jewelry ever since, come what may

Black parades have passed her by
Tears...

Earrings come in different forms and shapes!
But from time immemorable they have stood
For prestige, wealth, power and authority!
This season, God is restoring us with gold earrings,
That was once stolen from us by the enemy!
Protect them! This time no one will be able to
Take it away...

my feet in sinking sand
then waves crash back in
my happy place, my joy,
my grace

crabs released at dusk
i laugh and run for cover
will i ever dive back in
to swashy sand

i might, i must
regrettable
my trust

but who cares

to feel the hot sun
on tanning skin
the scent of coconut
the touch...

She wore chandeliers on her ears
Her smile beaming between her ears
Her earrings danced to the tunes of her feet
Her movements like her dancing earrings, so upbeat
She turned her head and diamonds sparkled
touching her eyes
She looked up and caught me by surprise
Her companion moved into the...

She Looked Like… 
A Christmas tree
Decorated all over
With appendages!
A scarf round her neck
To keep out the chills
A mask on her face
To keep the virus
Out of her place
Her internal workings 
Needing protection
And glasses… 
So she could see her way
To those essential shops
Where a smile might greet...
