Favored for it's breathability
allowing creativity

Mother Nature's Gowns
Nature changes her gown
to gossamer chiffon
pastels to welcome spring.
Daisy wreath in her hair
when finch and robins sing.
Nature changes her gown.
A bright yellow sundress.
Fabric print with flowers,
blooming when well nourished
by afternoon showers.
Nature changes her gown
to dark shades of mourning
for all the falling leaves,
windswept from bare limbed trees.
For their loss, Nature grieves.
Nature changes her gown
as she

Alabaster Gowns
Winter arrives on a snowflake
tumbling down from the skies above.
For Earth is set for a remake;
that calls for a labor of love.
Whitewashing a littered landscape,
Autumn's dead get shrouded in white.
For streaming down like ticker tape;
snow swiftly buries all in sight.
Ice crystals conceal Fall's decay;
creating a fairyland scene.
And tucked into Winter's duvet;
Nature appears pristine and clean.
The

Autumn Is Waiting
Autumn is waiting in the wings,
hiding discretely among trees,
in plaintive music a bird sings,
coaxing a ride on a cool breeze.
Summer, reluctant to cede day
Autumn is waiting in the wings.
Finally gives the nights away
to crisp breezes that Autumn brings.
Autumn offers gifts of gold rings
to match Summer's soft, golden hair.
Autumn is waiting in the wings
Summer blows kisses

Over Under Sideways Down
OVER UNDER INSIDE OUT
(It still doesn’t fit)
The hospital gown
Makes Greek statues frown
You can see it in their sculpted faces
And they say in disgust
That they always will trust
The fig leaf that the gown replaces

Spin Now An Angel Gowns
Spin Now an Angel’s Gown
Dedicated to Father Johnnie E. Ross
When a tree so desires to sing and dance,
It becomes a home for the fabric of angels’ gowns.
Go,then, and as you pass that place —
Along the trail where you linger in wonder —
By your favorite

Hospital Gowns
Hospital gowns are so damn attractive
Parading down Main Street here where I live
Gathering a crowd
Screaming out loud
Well, it's a lot better than bare naked skin

Rolling In Their Gowns
I'm an upstanding gentleman, I'm not lying down
Though at times when the urge urges I act like a clown
When meeting some peeps
Silliness does creep
Go into my act, leaving 'em rolling in their gowns!

Amidst Golden Gowns
Alone I sit in a dreamy state
Remembering last night whilst I contemplate
We sat down to dinner looking out across the bay
Playing footsie under the table in loving display
Scented candles wafted their presence aired
Street orbs left us shadowed at the table we shared
The evening breeze on this Autumn day past
Whimpers as it settles, stillness at last
We
