upon the secret keepers.
when is late too late?
to divulge the truth?

"I know this is a shock"

For Snickers, Aug. 2013 - May 3, 2022

My husband fell in love with him on sight -
the little puppy he brought home one day.
In welcoming him we took such delight -
the way he got excited...

The young man’s voice came alive
As he spoke with bubbling joy
About the girl who was going to arrive
And how he’d loved her  since a boy

He listed her every quality
Shining eyes,  hair of silk

When I was three foot tall I could fly.
Now that I've reached near six and descending
things have become more, grounded.
It wasn't an aeronautical event or
some Newtonian physics explanation,
or even a Las Vegas prestidigitation,

it was merely...

I saw one day a city of trees
Walking down a path with me
Following hidden eyes to see

Saplings jungled up together
Like a stream of walkers too
Confused at all by windy weather

Deer pellets scattered walk-aways
Somebody's got to...

Dactylic Pentameter




Wild wind with force to demolish our buildings and homes in town.
Wail on Comanche and scream your shrill anger down streets and paths.
Ye do destroy and kill running amok to knock structures down.
Twister, run...

I Walked in the Woods, on a Moonlit path
As Fireflies gathered around to Dance
And Crickets and a Nightingale Chirped a Tune
As a Distant Wolf, Howls at the Moon

And a Glow-Eyed Owl, Territorially Asked Who-o-o- !

it starts underneath a small table
near the entrance to a motel lobby
and grows with great speed and sprite
quieting the house-guest at the counter
as it flows - muted down the hallway

glass doors opened with dampened yawn
and...

Lying on my back,
the warm sun blanketing,
I watched the cloud stacks drift,
breezily blown across the bluest skies,
imagining, dreaming . . .

Dangling from my lips,
sweet honeysuckle straws dripped nectar candy,
delicious extract for flavoring dreams,
visions of the...

Another whistling train speeds by in midnoon,
the jeering lad waves at pensive passengers
absorbed in serene, not adverse feelings;
his youth is vibrant and ready to lampoon!

Daises, jasmines and violets are gently lulled 
in their wild and...

DISTURBED MOMENT

In this sudden moment
I’ve a simple wish to walk about spreading love
      everywhere
Oh, the thought seems so...bright, so…sunny
Yet – and I cast this flash aside – 
A thought in...

Living death ,hotel for hypochondriacs?
Where there are rarely empty beds
But some bodies may soon be.
Bright curtains are there for all
To screen their shame and pain,
Though the final curtain will surely
On some soon fall..

Blue-jacketed staff breezily
Glide...

Leaves no longer held-aloft by their deciduous vaults
Clutter gutters and breezily sweep streets and rest 
On right and left road sides, bright and red. 
Tunnels formed by old trees meeting arc
Across city-streets and campus-sidewalks.

The bright...

I need you, like I need the sunlight.
I want you, like I want for spring.
You’re deep inside my heart for a reason.
The reason’s you’re my everything,
Wonderful. Colorful.
It feels so good to me.
So good to me,...

Connie was a terrific best friend
She kept my secrets forever and a day
We were a galloping duo to the bitter end
Then college called, and I was whisked away

Fifteen hands high with a fanciness for fruit

She faught for his happiness, 
Then forget about her life's darkness.
She faught for bringing back his kindness, 
Then forgot about her own wildness. 

She taught him to laugh more & more,
Then she talked about herself...

I live in a compartment
It’s called an apartment.
Morning after morning
I step into an orifice,
Call it my office.
Who breathes here?
Who can taste lunch?
Suspicion’s the only hunch
Numbers, the chasers here.

Sunset is a distant memory,
I yearn to feel...

All it takes is lines and shapes
Imagination
To make a creation
Piece by piece a treasure to see
Made free with no boundaries
A splatter of color
Warm as the sun
Beckoning breezily
Ingenuity
Coloring the world in never before seen shades
Symbolizing a...
