I am…
Son, sculpted by my mother to be what I am today
Husband, holding my wife’s caring hands all the way
Father, in lonely nest, all the chicks have flown away
Friend of chosen ones, at ease with all my odd ways
Poet of whelmed heart, muse pouring out emotions
Star-gazer, entranced by dreams on stardust in motion
Painter, letting passion spread on canvas spectral wings
Perfectionist, finding it difficult to finish so many things
Believer, in the construct of my life by destiny’s finesse
Ordinary, believing in the possible, pursuing happiness
Seeker of wisdom, walk in humble steps on rough road
Taker of whatever is given as the precious gifts of God
Hater of tears, flowing from the broken hearts’ debris
Giver of touch of empathy, so sorrow becomes history
Loner in my own inner sky, flying the introspective flight
Traveler, finishing the journey on the last mile in twilight.
I am waiting to sail to eternity on time’s receding plain
I am sure I’ll return, walk on my faded footprints again.

Vibrant hope
beyond tomorrow's scope
blissfully rises midst prayer zest
as faith reigns to smite attacks of trial and test
strengthening courage for love-propelled work so blest
that upholds service of kindness pace...
---yon Christmas days' tough race
with God's grace.*
*1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

2nd place, "A Trois-par-Huit for December" Rhyme Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich; judged on 12/24/2025
A slack rope
Funambulist enchants
Screams my little daughter to delight
Mad as a hatter, risks life to dangerous skills
An idea that lives on for generations
Adventure or poor man's livelihood,
Daring dazzle across,
The River !

Horses and nature I have always reveled in;
when I read “Midnights Miracle”, I remember
feeling so sad in the beginning that this horse
could not be found. I was certain that it was
gone forever, never to return.
I read on feeling for the owners of this beautiful
black horse. Elation set in, when I read that she’d
had her foal. She was looking for a place to have it
safely and found one. Mom and baby were clearly safe;
what a happy moment when she was found.
Carolyn had written on many subjects here at AP
and she’s always been generous with comments and kind.
A very talented poet and a wonderful individual, cordial and loving.
I was so sad to hear about her passing, but I
know that she’s in a better place. Her poetry
will live on in our hearts and I know she will
in her new life. May she soar to lovely heights
of heaven.

Juniper,* you are a blessed tree, endowed by God for all to see
Umbrella you were to Prophet Elijah when from distress he did flee...
Never denying your sheltering role, helping ecosystem to be whole
Indeed fulfilling goal, as haven for birds, even for tired soul...
Performing best, providing habitat for wildlife with protective zest
Evergreen that smites longevity's pest and stands firm midst test
Ready to grant rest under your foliage toward victory's crest.
*1 Kings 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

3rd place, "High Fives for June" Acrostic Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich; judged on 6/24/2025
The fifth day of the fifth month of the year:
For me this is no ordinary day.
As quickly as spring blossoms, it is here
and just as quickly, May 5th fades away.
Most likely it will not look different from
the other days that make up Merry May,
but it’s a time I’m likely to become
a bit nostalgic, letting my thoughts stray. . .
to someone in my past. For all I know
he could be dead, forever gone from me!
I cannot think of that. It can’t be so.
It has to be that he's in revelry!
I’ll picture him May 5th as I always do -
becoming that same age I’ll soon be too.

For Carol Brown's
Memories of May Poetry Contest
on my deck I watch
shadows crisscross sun’s last rays. . . .
my skin still feels warm
driving from the gym
seeing the mountains darkened. . . .
thinking of supper
the house is quiet
I savor all the morsels
of my peaceful meal
At my computer
I click on my friends' poems. . . .
night time’s joy fills me
Time is getting late
From my bed I watch TV. . . .
moon peers through the blinds
curled up by my cats
as my eyelids grow heavy. . . .
slumber land - take me

I am Bittersweet – for contest
There is, no pun intended,
a bitter sweetness to my nature.
The sweetness of the truth
dangling in my amethyst grasp,
the lingering aroma of loyalty
adrift in the flight paths of the bees.
The bitterness of shadows cast
upon the honor I so cherish,
cold dew, devoid of sunshine,
weighing on my flowered limbs.
The truth be told of loyalty
lone satisfaction seeking dusk
to rest against the failing light
experiences bitter, sweet.
Bittersweet – loyalty, truth
