Premium Member Just Last Year

Last year, I was putting up new curtains
Adding new rugs to my trailer
Taking chances on bright and bold colors
All the glories of new beginnings

Last year, I was adding to my Tupperware
New bowls, happy and vivid
To keep all the good feasts I’d made
In hopes of serving them with dinner

Last year, I was encouraging my husband
To plant new bulbs in the garden
All the daffodils, crocus and lilies I love
Inspiring my heart, soul and spirit

Last year, I was adding sofa cushions
With verses inspirational and kind
Little additions to the living room couch
Awaiting my guest’s appreciation

Last year, I was filling my cupboards
With new pots, pans and dishes
Making my kitchen seem all new again
Welcoming the luxuriant spices

Last year, I was using my skills as a wife
To experience the nesting experiences

Premium Member The Rich Soil Which Yields My Food

The Rich Soil Which Yields My Food

Making a living from the earth is tough hard work and it is often done in extreme conditions. The shimmering rays passing through the open bedroom window awakens me with the warmth of the sun on my face. Lying a little longer enjoying the comfort of my bed, looking out the window before my day begins, enjoying the view of the blue sky while the clouds slowly move forming shapes.  The light creeps through the leaves like water in a running stream through rocks.  Listen to the gentle rustle movements of the leaves enjoying the cool morning breeze and the singing of the nesting birds in the trees in soothing harmony. My dog runs and jumps on my bed with some snuggles  and a slight whimper to get me to rise to another long, tedious, exhausting, hard working day that’s ahead of me.

work morning till night
hustle behind a tractor
numbing exhausting

A farm takes pride in and being passionate about growing crops. It takes a special person to be a farmer.

farmers taking pride 
rich crop triumph of hard work 
always gives back more

Premium Member For Spring- I Sing

All winter long I have thought of spring,
and now it is here and I want to sing;
so in the woods I go adventuring,
I do not walk- no, I go waltzing.
All around me song birds are chirping,
and delicate baby ferns are creeping;
soon, I come a blue stream murmuring,
where many wildflowers are unfurling.
   All winter long I have dreamt of spring,
I lay on grass under a sun blazing;
in a tree above I see a bird wing,
a love pair are busy, busy nesting.
I daydream to the sound of twittering,
until a sweet hummingbird comes to cling;
on a pretty yellow daisy blooming,
and I ponder beside water babbling.
   All winter long I have thought of spring,
I explore until the sun is fading;
and with a sigh I turn for home whistling,
oh, this spring day has be so calming.

Premium Member Pink Cotton Candy

Pink cotton candy striated clouds
Intermingle with blue
Lure the artist to observe painting
Upon a canvas true

Distant doves sing a summer song
Happy to raise a large brood
Soon they'll be independent
Seeking out their own food 

Life goes in circles, birds nesting
In places they were born
Some families never leaving
Hold onto land plant corn

The sun never failing man
Rises each day to warm
Today it rises fire ball red
Warning of impending storm

The canvas is painted a little
Different each day
No two exactly alike
For the earth doesn't stay

The earth's rotation brings change
Near and far to the sun
Slowly changing positions
Keeping life, having fun

Now the sun is golden glowing
Just above the tree tops
Its heat will be scorching too soon 
Destroying unwatered crops

Just a few minutes out on the porch
Time for spirit renewal 
How it prepares my inner needs
Helps my spirit fights duels

Premium Member The Thaw

The thaw was in full force,
washing the sleepers from the Mothers eyes;
sand scouring her cheeks with a babies blush
whisking the leafy crumbs from the corners of her lips
as it chattered down the stream bed.

From the highland where it begins, nearest the sun;
sparrow song fills the air and robins red breasts pair.
Brittle branches snap, twigs unite with winter grass 
making nesting down for finch chicks.
Lavender blue crocus, fairy eyed peek at the morn
winter beds now color bursting less forlorn.

Children, milk white, cream, and coffee 
rosie cheeks warming in spring light squeal
in playgrounds on squeaky swings and toasty slides.
The thaw in full force, as undisturbed
by the still chill nights, as the pebble in the stream 
longing for the voyage.


Premium Member Love is Blind

I was a marvelous ophthalmologist, impacting how others saw this world,
As tomorrow one day sees yesterday, on lanes where hued leaves swirled.

I corrected hazy, crazy vision problems, with eyeglasses and with surgery;
Like a second look, evoked by raspberry rose, to verify beauty's certainty.

I also did frequent research, on hidden causes and cures for eye disease;
Just as reasons for rainbows and stardust, lay hidden in nature mysteries.

I had once studied cosmetology, and I loved the art of applying makeup;
And I never left home without it, like opening red tulip, at sunrise wakeup.

Friends fascinated like fire opals, bringing fetching colors into a vibrant life;
And we relished flaming, flamboyant Fridays, under maroon skies of strife.

Flavorful fruits were fanatically ripening, when feel-good family visited me.
Fiery red raspberries and fat blueberries, fell beneath puff clouds, so pretty.

I lived in the house of sudden mists, in oranges, pinks, purple and scarlet,
Where any day could be right for lovely visions, before the sky grew starlit.

Snap peas and sweet potatoes grew in the gardens, along my sunny street,
In days of searing, scarlet sun salutes, and gold hours of pause and repeat.

Nearby noon gave nectarine notice, as neighborly neighbors came visiting,
When green nature bore a heatwave, like the nesting woodpecker, knocking.

Pink fairy wings bloomed fantasy gardens, as the yellow tiger lilies roared;
And the dragon lulus breathed fire, like ardor cooling for one, once adored.

Brain cacti meditated summer greenery, whilst toad lilies attracted insects;
And pink bottlebrushes swept away sad blues, scrubbing aside dour defects.

I was attending a Fourth of July cook out, hosted by the fondest of families;
But the makeup I'd ordered was late, forcing me to put aside pure vanities!

By the time I left for the plum, pleasant party, I was feeling oddly liberated;
And family and friends did not notice my lack, like stars, clouds obliterated.

I had a lovely time that rosy day, when martins sang like the Fourth of July,
Amidst mauve festivity and lemon sunshine, and bellflowers ringing nearby!

The lesson I learned that vivid day, is to glam up or not, according to mood,
For people are still loveable either way, like faint dawn moon, briefly viewed.

Premium Member From Cradle To Grave

Many moons ago, in my ascendancy
  Males weaned themselves from dependency
At age 18, adults, full-blown on our own
  No more nesting, Momma Bee, in your honeycomb

You'd bought your first car; you took care of it too
  No one could tell you where to go, what to do
So many, these days, not even licensed to drive
  Independence for them has yet to arrive

We checked in with our 'rents,* why maybe once a week                 *parents
  Hi, Mom, back from the hospital; Doc set my broken cheek
These days, it seems no span of ten minutes ever's spanned
  Without Little Johnny telling Mommy all of his plans

From breast milk to devices -- to Mommy, boys are forever attached
  Better take her with you in your coffin, when you are dispatched

Refuge - Natures Heartland

refuge
I spot two ducks
and using my fancy
I picture them in nesting mode
more ducks

meadow
mankind’s playground
humans on a picnic
strangely frightened, left in a rush.
litter

mid-stream
kids formed a dam
in the years past and gone
a safe place for spawning catfish 
shelter

forest
tall evergreens,
fragrant pine-needle floor
has become wild creatures’ heartland
haven

white clouds
no sign of rain
people no longer come
what may be hiding in the woods?
wonder

      refuge
      mankind’s playground
      in the years past and gone
      has become wild creatures’ heartland
      wonder

Coconut Bird

The Bahama Oriole
our Bahamian coconut bird
is the crown gem of our Androsian coast
soaring from Morgan's Bluff to Mars Bay 
where their elegance 
of yellow and black are treasured 


The Bahama Oriole
our Bahamian coconut bird
is the dream endemic of our naturalists
where you can take your scopes and binoculars 
and see them nesting on our coconut palms


When you come to The Bahamas 
to visit our coconut birds 
they will only roam the skies
of our sleeping giant in the north
where you can hear 
the sounds and calls
of their majestic voices 
echoing the atmosphere
near the forests and coastlands

The Bahama Oriole 
our Bahamian coconut bird 
is the hidden gem of Andros Island 
whether you spot them in  Nicholl's Town
Staniard Creek or Mangrove Cay


* Note: The Bahama Oriole is one of 6 endemic species of  birds found in The Bahamas. They are nicknamed The "Coconut Bird" by the locals due to their preferences to nest in coconut palms.They can only be found on  the Island of Andros, which is the largest island of The Bahamas

Premium Member Floating

Bloated bubbly beauty
Sightly sensuous sexy


Dizzy dazzle dangling
Picture puzzle prompting


Loiter lofty laughter 
Moments misty matter


Timeless touching treasures
Motive meeting measures


Structure succinct story
Senses spreading silly


Effort erring endless
Sightings speaking senseless


Awkward actions appoint
Jumpy jealous joy joints


Nonsense nesting nothing
Blossoms bringing blessings


Teasing touchy troubles 
Ripples rooming rubbles


Poetry puzzles primal
Rushing rivers rival


Fuzzy feelings floating
Buzzy bumpy breathing
