We Die A Little
We die a little bit
Each day and each night
As we live every minute
Gleeful or glum under the light.
We die in our sleep
And rise again if we’re lucky
And blessed. This is deep
Few people are truly canny or savvy.
Believe not in all the glitters
When it’s time to go or to depart
Gravity behaves like deadly creatures.
We die every

Summer Glee
Sitting alone in the sun,
I reflect on the past,
Days filled with laughter and fun—
Oh, how time moves fast.
The radiant colours of the light,
There's a freshness that sunshine brings,
The clock ticks, and everything yields to twilight,
While memories soar on summer's wings.
The outdoors beckon us,
With children

Tripwire
She had been indoctrinated to believe her country was free
But she hit the tripwires, had nowhere to flee
She learned the hard way that what she'd been taught
were lies from a regime that couldn't be fought.
His country was designed free, the constitution shows
But there are some paths where nobody goes
There is organized crime, and ideologues on

BIRTHDAY CLUE AT DAWN
BIRTHDAY CLUE AT DAWN
At dawn
In the little hours of a crow
I spoke to my pen to rise
Rise from bed to speak
The language that at best I understand
To the form and rhymes; I'm no stranger
Gladly the pen took over the pages
Surmounted all pressure and blunt edges
At the brook
In the hours when breeze was set

the delightful tree of glee
How much more delightful can this tree be?
She has been named by her colleagues, the tree of glee
She has been an influencer since her mama’s knee
If you met her, you would have to quickly agree
She is a tree who could shake up the Grand Prix
Her limbs zigzag in the wind wild and free
She has enticed

In Grimaced Glee
You wait
In chortled glee
Time’s ticking toll
Sharpening itself
‘neath your dark robe
And I
Poor fool
Fear not your sting
As naught is left
But tatters
Of past now’s
And you
Life’s dark companion
Have counted every step
Held sway
Lest I falter
Seasoned my errors
With adrenal angst
I wait
In grimaced glee
Enshrouded
In an endless
Thinning veil
Awaiting

For the Love of Weather
Thunderous storm
Taking form
Black cloud
Dark shroud
Dogs yowling
Wind howling
Dusty ground
Swirling round
Grasses curl
Leaves twirl
Trees rustle
People hustle
Animals flee
Kids glee
Umbrellas out
Mothers shout
I stand
Raised hand
Loving power
Heavenly shower
Lightning flash
Thunder crash
Babies cry
Mothers sigh
Up higher
Tree fire
Go hide
Inside
Watch rain
Through pane
Safe, warm
Raging storm
Passing by
Blue sky

A Funny Guy Went To Town With Glee
A funny guy went to town with glee,
Came home with a rat, you see.
His wife was quite cross,
With a stinky meal toss,
Said, "Next time, bring home takeout for me!"

Glee Days
“Be happy in the moment that's enough. Each moment is all we need.”

As time brings glee days,
As we sojourn on bloom ways,
Let’s treasure the clime,
For it's a fleeting sublime.
Life is a

Somber Rebellion
Somber Rebellion
Upon somber's horrid-rebellious fleet,
Corvus and ravens are victims who plead,
Nightmare which leeches through logic and glee,
Conceals itself behind bleaks ominous screams.
Coercion of luminity for pallid deeds,
Fabricates these mirrored-fraudulent beasts,
Wandering over a picayune defeat,
Condemning drab-shadows for your vulnerability.
Blight and woes for haul of gloom,
no stand for hope and bloom...
As it pulls us to

Unrestrained Glee
I mark the retreat
with unrestrained glee
Every day I wake up to see
the snow receding farther from me
Yesterday the sidewalks were suddenly clear
today patches of grass have dared to appear
Tomorrow, who knows, flowers may begin to grow

Turtle Dove
A turtle dove
I landed on your chest
Widened the jagged crack
Your Heart chambers shivered
Quiet silver ripples in a
Tender Garden of Eden
Watching me, your son
Clapped his hands in orange glee
I sought some breadcrumbs
Which I found upon your stable sea
I was vanquished by the I
Within your I

Nougats of Glee
the cheery music in the background,
its enchanting sweetness,
still gives butterflies in the belly.
the high pitch of your voice,
trying to sing your way into my heart
still leaves a happy grin on my face.
but it is your soul that draws me in,
those early effort,
still leaves me yearning for you.
together we've grown,
together we've cried and
together we've laughed out

Fear In the Moonlight
The night is very dark with a slight summer breeze,
A shimmer of moon peeking through the branches of trees.
I hear another’s footsteps in the distance from behind,
Hopefully the owner is a person that’s very kind.
As I continue to walk faster, a pounding in my heart,
The moon gets brighter as the clouds start to part.
I turn

Lemon Tree Glee
Luxurious little lemon tree
in the freshest garden next to a pea
was heartily happy and wildly free
She could be herself, and forever see
Chickadee’s nest and a drilling bee.
There was a haunting melody
Somewhere nearby a dog had dropped a D.
A forensic fellow’s forward-thinking fee
giggled a glorious glitzy genuine glee.
Shadows sheltered a shellfish-like she.
A kindly kingly kangaroo’s key
Languished
