First grade class trip, a slow cruise down the Nile
So rudely derailed by three crocodiles
They flashed kids their grins
They wanted to sin!
Newly evolved ~ erectile reptiles!
Oh to be a kid again…
To triple dip my salsa chip
when no-one else is looking
To toss hot peppers in the sauce
when I might find it cooking
To let my finger linger
in the frosting bowl on Sunday
To fake a belly ache
so I can’t go to school on Monday
To have fun with a nun
by tying TP to her habit
To take the last big slice of steak
distracting as I grab it
To dope the sugar bowl with soap
with powder, it’s no trouble
To act surprised at mama’s eyes
when coffee starts to bubble
The prize (Catholic School only)
The statue of some little known saint.

My bucket list was easy
Own my own orphanage
not yet
Own an animal farm
I have rescued nineteen dogs and twelve cats
Be a grandmother
I have ten grandchildren from 21 to 5
Live in the country
I live on six acres and can hear roosters
Goats live behind me
Two cows live next to me
Write for a newspaper
I have written for forty-two of them
Be a secretary
I have done this
Be a race car driver
You should see me drive to work
Play with children
I am an elementary school counselor
I did not know I would love these things, or I would have added them
to my bucket list: cartooning, painting, drawing, and writing poetry

Born dependent.
Wide-eyed and hungry.
Looking and learning.
So much colour.
Bigger bed.
Sounds ringing.
Talking and smiling.
Homes and pets.
Kitchen smells.
School bells.
Bigger clothes.
Friends rotate.
Library books.
Bigger shoes.
New building.
Glasses on.
Late nights.
Certificate.
Bigger world.
Crowded transport.
Watch the clock.
Need more sleep.
Bigger pressures.
Reunion time.
See old friends.
Comparing lives.
Bigger roles.
Kids and Grandkids.
Born dependent.
Wide-eyed and hungry.
Looking and learning...
Dear Mr. / Ms. Presidential Candidate
A preliminary wish list, I hereby state...
Dogs that do not bark
Coastal beaches without sharks
Skunks that have no smell
Adults who never yell
Blue skies, never overcast
Perfect Spring days that last
Airplane seats with lots of room
Sermons without gloom and doom
Desserts without calories
A big increase in salaries
Year-round gentle breezes
No more coughs or sneezes
No more gun deaths, no more shootings
An end to all environmental polluting
Summer camp instead of school
In every park a swimming pool
Potatoes that don't need peeling
Love without hurt feelings
Wasps and hornets without stingers
Kisses that forever linger…
If anything here gives you pause
I'll just have to vote for Santa Claus
The Girl
The school
The bell
The street
The run
The car
The screech
The hit, the hit, the hit
The tears
The Ambulance
The worry
The scared
The ride to-
The hospital
The nurses
The doctors
The prayers, the prayers, the prayers
The tears
The wait
The hope
The casts
The healing
The talk
The walk
The recovery
The smile, the smile, the smile
The tears
The girl
Poetic Inspiration 101
What inspires me to write poetry?
an old man on a park bench mumbling
weightless hawks floating on updrafts
trash strewn city streets
school buses at 5AM
huddled children waiting
the wrinkled face of an old woman
staring through a broken window
stuttering splash of skipping stones
sunbathing turtles lining a fallen log
the motionless pose of the Blue Heron
soft echoes of tearful laughter
hard, oft felt scars, of pain’s persistence
gentle music of a mother’s voice
whispering to a baby
the flag waving against a deep blue sky
draped over the caskets of those who serve
opening my eyes, breathing in
the sights and sounds of life.

spring cleaning,
spring planting,
spring pruning,
bees,
butterflies,
allergies,
campfires,
marshmallows,
smores,
spring break,
school is out soon,
happy tired children,
the smell of flowers,
fresh spring rain,
first mowed grass,
just a few of my favorite things!
