Iris Garden

Aunt Bonnie’s garden showcased showy orchid-like irises -- 
beds of “flags,” a feast for the eyes, produced rainbows of color
yellow, purple, orange, bronzes. 
She did not know her irises took their real name 
from a Greek goddess, Iris, goddess of the rainbow, 
Her glorious "flags" fluttered wildly for all who came 
oogling and aahing, admiring shimmering vibrant multi-colors 
Born, as they were, from sturdy bulbous tubers buried shallow
in late fall, hibernating through bitter cold, coming alive 
May to September in splendorous array.

Minnows Nip At Bare Toes

Summer is tethered to the scent of a rose,
and bubbling brooks, where minnows nip at bare toes.
Spring spurs Summertime on, and indeed, it shows;
freeing the rivers and lakes that Winter froze,
while greening the dried grasses of the meadows.

Summer's sizzling hot sun shines brightly all day;
warming swimming pools where children splash and play.
And, bronzes with an ultraviolet ray,
as folks flock to sandy beaches, come what may.

Children launch paper kites on a rising breeze;
and eat green apples picked from wild apple trees,
while playing outdoor games, and skinning their knees.

Dreading the thought that Winter will reappear,
I believe Summer is the best time of year.

I'll choose summer over Winter any day!

I hate the cold, frozen feet, and runny nose;
as well as shoveling snow from the driveway,
I'd rather swelter in Summer's heat than freeze.
Autumn shifts my metabolism to low gear:
and I find myself wishing Summer would stay.

The Patina of Time - Secrets - 7-3 Poetry New Form

SECRETS
the patina of time... secrets
table tops
how many tales could they tell
bronzes too
secrets removed with cleaning
planet earth
patina removed... dying
habitats scraped clean... naked
death reaps death
the patina of time... secrets
truth exposed
and still, we have never learned
if ever
patina... the air we breathe
atmosphere
holds secrets of all world life
patina
microscopically thin
protection

Butterfly Angel

Sun bronzes my wings
As I flutter in the wind
Drinking the nectar of flowers
Chasing lovers
		 in skies bright or grim
Dancing on clouds swirly white
Softly I sing of natures right
To love all other breathing things
A God who says different
Is a serpent who sins

Clear Mountain Streams

Panes of dirty glass conceal the past
where futures were tied to land and soil.
And pa fingers a hand full of dirt
reflecting on years of pain and toil.

A rusty sun bronzes a foil star
ma hung in the window for good luck.
And a small candle awaits a match
to defend against the dark when struck.

Hunger gnaws at our empty stomachs,
everything we plant is doomed to die.
And yet, ma slips me and pa a smile,
showing us where her loyalties lie.

Looking up to a burnt almond sky,
she searches for clouds other than dust.
And scans for life in neighboring homes
long ago left to decay and rust.

Abandoning a dream lost to time,
ma loses hope and accepts defeat.
And I can see the pain in pa's eyes,
the trickling tears mocking his conceit.

California calls in shades of green,
with lush pastures and clear mountain streams.
And common sense says that we must move
far from this dust bowl of dying dreams.

Sara played basketball in squad ParalympicsGB, 
At Euros, at Worlds and at Commonwealth Games, 
In Manchester and in Melbourne, and had TT victory, 
At the Paralympics in London with her team-mate. 

Her boyfriend introduced her to table tennis nifty, 
And she’s a paralytic, from a virus at the age of 15,
“Meeting people in the same situation as [myself]
was a real eye-opener…it opened up my life again.“

In 2013 Sara and Jane Campbell took the gold, 
In the team event class 1-3 in Bayreuth, Germany, 
And then she won bronze for herself in the singles, 
To ride right onto 2 bronzes in Slovenia, Slovakia.

And in Denmark reached the quarters, 
At the European Champs, garters.

And in Rio made the quarters, team, 
With K Daybell. He’s Erbs palsy lean.

Ellie Robinson

For her Rio entrance to the 50m butterfly, 
Which became known affectionately as, 
The “gangster entrance”, her huge jacket.  

Ellie was diagnosed in November of 2012,
Just after the London Paralympic Games, 
When she was inspired by Ellie Simmonds, 
To get into the pool and achieve ambitions -

She was diagnosed with Perthes hip disease, 
Already she had achondroplasia, dwarfism, 
But this meant she has physio every day, 
A tough routine which perhaps you adjust to. 

Her first international senior was 2015 Berlin - 
She’s only fifteen, born on 30th August 2001 -
At the Internationale Deutsche Meisterschaften, 
Where she set a WR, took 1 silver, 1 bronze.

Bronzes in the 50m, 100m and 400m freestyle,
So in Rio she won gold butterfly, bronze free.

And at school hid it well under her jumpers,
But swimming let her accept, love her body, 
Such that today she’s a swimming medalist.

Which is in the north-east of fine England, 
On the 21st day of May’s month in 1988, 
From Leeds she has a linguistics degree. 

Her biggest medal haul was London 2012
Where she won two very beauteous silvers, 
One for the 100 metres breaststroke SB8,
And one for the medley. And a bronze free. 

In the Athens Paralympics she won bronzes, 
One for the 100m S9 back, one for the medley, 
And in Beijing she took home another bronze, 
For the breaststroke this time, the 100 metres. 

In 2016 at the Euros in Portugal she won gold, 
For the 4x100m medley relay, also two bronzes, 
One for the 100m butterfly, another for breast,
Which took her to Rio 100m breaststroke silver.

For her performance at 2012 and charity work,
She was awarded the MBE 2013 for her efforts.

Where she’s raised funds and much awareness, 
And she’s also involved in as an ambassador for,

But to make it to Rio this champ needed surgery, 
‘Cos there was something wrong with her throat.
She got this, and in Rio she won freestyle silver, 
Individual medley silver and backstroke bronze.
