Blind as a bat they used to say as she rode her bike this way and that. I did
Love her thick coke bottle glasses and the way she hunched her back when she
Incited to drive down a one lane street with her head up and her eyes fixed.
No one could have guessed that she was really biking it by memory, as they
Drove by her, they would honk and say " get out of the street" ....
A lady with very little money, five children and a knapsack full of apples for
Snacks. She would drive to school at recess and dole out the fruit to her kids.
Annabelle Kor was her name and she was my mother, this I say with pride.
Born a survivor, who had survived the Jewish camps , she knew how to live free
Answer to none but God, she would tell us as they sent her strange looks
Truth be told I wouldn't have wanted any other mother, she was my hero...

Spring wears flowers in her hair
Sprinkles new buds everywhere
Whispers to Breeze, sweetly go
Dance among trees--it's Spring's Early Show

Though skies are dark and dreary,
The songbirds’ trills are cheery,

lovely damsels of the earth

sun, in his last lap of race
slanting rays gleam in gold sheen
their beauty to evening they bestow

As Winter sheds it armor,
young Spring proves quite a charmer.
Though I may sniffle and sneeze,
March hues and fragrances surely please.

“Roses are red; violets are blue,”
he said, “but I don’t know the rest. Do you?”
I said, “Who cares? For Valentine’s Day,
I want pizza. What do you say?”

Sky ablaze in glorious shades of tangerine
warm marmalade and tints of burnished gold
I love to watch the setting sun
as it sinks low and vanishes behind the horizon
