Best Ninette Poems

Grief

washes

over me

- a tsunami

of pain that soon ebbs.

Cleansed, I embrace

life with a 

dance of

Joy

cry
in the 
privacy
of your sad thoughts
behind louvered blinds
till pain wanes…then
wipe away
your tears:
smile

Sing, Birds Sing

Sun
Smiling
Gleefully
Blushes blue dawn
While robin's musing
Pink-dogwood dreams
Rejoicing
Blooming
Spring

Where
Playful
Cardinal
Hops, hops, and sits
Then curves a sharp spin
Flying up high
Savoring
Freedom
Flight

Lone
Sparrow
Sitting on
Red maple tree
Whistles and dances
Reveling in
Lilacs and
Lilies
White

Sing
Birds sing
Exalting

love

treading on sand
in uncharted land 
hoping to quench

sings in her
mellifluous

aids the new birth

tale
from old
Slavic god
idol worshipped
sage  and  protector
season’s spirit
winds obey
chiming
toll

gusts
from gods
stab with blades
of  potent  breath
freezing  the  tundra
and stripping oaks
till summer’s
warm air
wafts

Cold
winds blow,
fall ends and
winter begins.
Hibernating bulbs
will softly sleep
until the 
next spring
thaw.

Dogs,
loyal
to a fault;
caring greatly
for their family.
Everyone loves

Waves
kissing
tiny toes
splashing, cooling.
Ebbing and flowing
on golden sands
where children
love to
play.

Dogs

greet us

happily

wagging their tails.

How precious pets are!

I delight in

the warm purrs

of my

cats.

We

are more

than lovers

we are soulmates,

you’re my missing half.

I’m part of you

and you are

part of

me.

faith

is blind

deaf and dumb

trusting that God

needs no defending

it does not ask

Him for proof

of His

"To die would be an awfully big adventure!" - J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan



Death
A grand
Adventure
God's gift to make
Each breath so precious
Life's sweet echo
Warm and dark
Like the
Womb.
