Feeding Time
Don't bite the hand that feeds
Don't feed the hand that bites
Don't smite the heart that needs
Don't need the heart that smites

The One Within
There is a silent visitor inside you now —
softer than fresh-baked bread,
more precious than gifts from wise men of the East.
A second heartbeat,
gently echoing beneath your own.
You carry more than a name.
You carry memories yet to be made,
a mirror of past souls,
a vessel for tomorrow’s joy.
So walk gently,
eat wisely,
rest fully.
That bottle of cider —
it whispers

Stop Feeding your Puppy People Food
stop feeding your puppy people food, the vet said.
My husband and I are both worthy liars; we agree.
Neither of us planning to keeping to this promise.
Our puppy loves people food.
Today I sneaked him pepper jack cheese, eggs, tomatoes and corn chips.
I saw my husband throw him salami, bacon and ham.
And it is not yet two

WHICH WOLF WILL YOU BE FEEDING
It is impossible when I’m, looking out over the mountains in N. C.
not to feel the influence, the presence…the spirit of the Cherokee.
When I think how in this country and the world…
there is a battle between people who are inhumane to one another…
and those who are compassionate and kind..
up here in the mountains of North

Feeding Birds
I feed the birds
and expect nothing
in return but to
view them at my leisure.
No accolades, no gratitude,
for all I need is to observe their
wonder and beauty…
in silence.

blank page needs feeding
Every word is a choice
The notebook page is hungry
She needs verbs
Her blank page excites me
Verbs are my favorites too
I give her a teaspoonful of jumping, dancing, and twirling
She gulps that down with gusto
Gives me a nod
I feed her a tablespoon of whirling, skipping and hopping
Followed by a cup of adjectives
I like her to have a

The Birdman of Alesund
The birds of Alesund descend
To greet an old and trusted friend,
An answer to their constant search,
For food, safety and a welcoming perch,
The birds of Alesund descend
To greet an old and trusted friend.

Pre doms' v free doms
Should we forget about freedoms.?? And accept some
Pre-doms? Like a pre-bunking' so childlike and clunking.'
Breaking structure much nomen-less clutter..' A nonsense of
Pre-sense..' showing credentials quite useless.' Artificial
Utopia advertizing a visionary myopia.' Its peonies and
Pretzels to supplement 'word salad' utensils.?? With Kids flying
Killer drones..' we must emerge from this twilight zone.!

feeding hummingbirds
are the hummingbirds still around?
I feel guilty
have not refreshed their feeder in ten days
are they lingering near, hoping I will remember?
Have I killed them?
will they ever come back?
it is mid October
but unusually warm at seventy-four degrees.
I decide to replenish their food
feeling better now

feeding my stegosaurus
my stegosaurus lurks in the bushes
hiding from the neighbors, because he is shy
fearful of their ridicule and prying questions
trusting only me, which makes me feel terrific
I toss celery, tomatoes and radishes his way
he throws them in the air before he gulps them down
the neighbors do not question what I am doing
they are fearful of me,

Sleeping pills that feeding fills
My mouth is full of fizzy liquid,
my toungue is tickling vivid.
Even though my dark circles under the eye,
are deep within my following breath, they lie.
The ground is scretchy,
Are with the bathroom one matchy.
The cold shrouded my soul,
I love coldness, hotness is foul.
My phone is which lays within,
near my eyes, they felt to spin,
but I continued
