For Her Poems

Grandmother Elfrieda's birthday is today,
She would be over one hundred years old.

The beautiful grandmother that helped raise us,
I remember her well.

She was the nicest grandmothers you could ever have,
Cooked and baked delicious foods for us.

Macroons and Apple Streudel,
Cooked delicious dinners...Read More

Married life was easy and I dearly loved my wife
We thought about the next step we would take
She brought up having children, and adding to our life
We never thought could be a huge mistake :)

The sickness started early, no meal...Read More

I tried to take the higher ground, I’m sorry, I just can not
The words you spoke have ricocheted and now I’m deep in thought
Did you hold her closer when she faltered? or did you take a verbal shot?
Did you place...Read More

Why won't mama go to bed
Said Ned to Freddy Flake
I don't think she has been fed
There must be some mistake

Freddy gives to Mama Eddy
Children for her sake
Eddy lives for Papa Freddy
And their home to make

Honey, Bunny and sister Sunny
Are very...Read More

The wolf appears at night,
howling for his lost love,
she was the beauty with
red hair which flowed with
the wind while she sang
a lonely love song for her
Prince of Beasts, beckoning
him to appear before her
and unchain her from her
imprisonment that was imposed
by...Read More

Our boss quite often creeps in, looking for our good. 
She knows we are probably doing the best that we could.
She leaves us love notes that accentuate the positive things she sees.
Whale Done is at the top of the paper,...Read More

Days knife is in night’s sheath
The moon's eye is covered.
She sits over their scattered bones
Feeling only the cold dirt
And the swirling fog.
Her hand grips for the hilt
And she hears the singing blade.
The flails are only for threshing now,
Passions are muted.
Those...Read More

The old man sat on a bench. He watched the fountain water flow.
The pigeons gathered at his feet, he couldn’t feed them so off they would go. 

He listened as the water sang it’s song, as he closed his eyes...Read More

i was a sparkless firecracker 
and spoke English like i hated it.

not the least bit compatible
in any department 
at any hour on any menu

Is about to impart

Happily I pray
From my heart and mouth  I say

And I shall love you always

My bright shining star that gives meaning to ones life.
The rising of the sun at dawn, embedded in the clouds of the sky after the sun shines upon the rain that has fallen.
My aromatherapy of green fields and freshly blossoms...Read More

What timid lamb discerns I am trustworthy, drawing near? 
What deer could hear my message clear, "There's no need for alarm"?
What sigh could signify to butterfly, "My heart is warm"? 
What rabbit out of habit doesn't dash in mortal fear?
What...Read More

NO WEDDING BAND, OR RINGS
THEY BOTH ARE NOT WEARING 
WHAT HAPPENED?
A LONG-TERM MARRIAGE AFTER DECADES OF YEARS
JUST IN A RELATIONSHIP
NO GENUINE VACATIONS
NO WALK IN THE PARKS
A LONG TERM MARRIAGE
WASTED IN THE DARK?

SOME GREAT DAYS IN THE PAST
AS EARLIER IN THE...Read More

A flower blooms in paltry places
To nature's gardens tall and wide
Little eyes on petalled faces
A sweet short time before she dies

Her moment flowered like no other
Short-lived but more than beauty allows
Eternal clocks are for nature's mother
Endless deadlines for her till...Read More

Tripped on Cupid
Chaim buzzes like a roving bee, "Hey, Honey!!"
Stumbling loving me..."I'll try saying it! Warm & funny":
Together, We delight in any 'Lil Thing,
Like eyeing Brookside Crocuses, purple heralds of Spring!
Can I give you a soothing back rub?
For I'm a...Read More

As Eager Sun Rose, Rewarding Its First Bright Gifts

As dawn woke, uttering shining of its first rays
Night's darkest veil vanished into whispering winds
Rooster's clear crow, signaling a wonderful day
Full of life, with golden treasures love's truth portends
Bliss a'flowing as our...Read More

From my cabin in Willow, Alaska,
Sleeping Lady greets me each day,
she is the princess 'Susitna' who is asleep,
her story is woven with several myths,
Grandma told me a native legend of old,
about a young woman who waited in vain
for her warrior...Read More

If I were to just pray to God to love you;

Would He tell you I’m for you?
Now formally, arising at truths;
You’re my queen a love I share with only Him
You’re...Read More

Woman

Woman was a gift from you, 
When you created earth.
Taken from the rib of man,
'Twas you who gave her birth.

Beautiful above all things
In Adam's paradise,
A help for him from you O' God,
From you who are all wise.

And when she led...Read More
