Premium Member Golden Tongues

Oh, the red bits of swollen tongue 
upon the gray of maple have plumped
like the cheeks of small children red with run!
The bangs of pussy willow frond
will soon tickle the noses of man swept dust,
baring the fragrance of balsam-pine leavings
scattered with the golden tinsel 
of Christmas garland. 
The ripening earth cracks smiles
toothy with tulip spears and narcissus cones.
The wind is sweet with kisses
and the jays laugh raucously 
in the grasping branches of maple.
The dust of days past dances joyously onward
dreaming of cozy eddies amongst the violets.
Oh, Spring of the golden tongue
play poet to my pen.


Premium Member Red Geraniums

She used second-hand water
Water that had first been used to scrub vegetables
   or rinse the dishes
And poured it over her red geraniums with loving hands
Waste not, want not...was her motto

In offering such hand-me-downs to her flowers
They cared not
For her own apron was a hand-me-down
Made from a worn-out shirt,... 
and simply told
    that she had learned to cherish what life gives:
        even the smallest things, had value....
           Her flowers seemed to know her gentle way, her tender touch...
You half expected that when she turned away
   the flowers would leave their place to follow her,
    the way the kittens followed from the barn
      when she came up from milking the cows

There may be other languages of love 
But these stubborn red geraniums would not die....they simply bloomed brighter
