Long Patter of little feet Poems

Moving with agile cat-like abilities
Using stealthy ninja skill capabilities
For even upon their sleep
While sweet dreams they do keep
It's time to kick it into overdrive
Though you only feel half alive
Toys are strewn in every room
Time to...

T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house
Pitter patter of little feet were heard stepping lightly as a mouse
For they knew Santa was coming and were determined to sneak a peak
Maybe place a...

Santa, can you bring me a long forgotten smile?
Santa, can you bring me the happiness of a child?
Santa, can you just hold my hand and walk with me awhile?

Down memory lane we’ll wander, while Christmas...

"Write your dreams," Carolyn Kizer told us
in a long-ago poetry workshop in Paris.  I would

I can't imagine what goes through a girls mind,
As she lives grows and encounters the blues,
Looking for prince charming in the nick of time,
To carry her off on a journey that begins with two.

Oh, carry me down to our beloved riverside.
Let's lay on the sweet grass and just abide.
To soak up the sun, through our tender young skin.

The floodlight went out
   Just about two o'clock in the morning
But little did anyone know
   That the attack was about to spring.

Being asleep in their beds
   No one had...

Sitting in the forest hidden from the sun
I feel the earth tremble by  deer on the run
Leaves flutter in a gentle breeze
as along the narrow path 
the running deer speed
then freeze in utter consternation

Peering through crystals along the palm lined
Avenue of Angels, stretching endlessly
In a parallel universe serenaded by unheard
Choruses of lost newborns ripped from their
Mother's wombs through no fault of theirs,
Nor judgement of their mothers.

It was a Thursday the first time we "met"
Just like today except two score and three
Nearly two years from the time our eyes first beget
Who could have imagined what our lives might be 

The pitter-patter of little feet

Fill my cup from little streams...with real joy -
a tiny bud that blossoms to flower, 
its petals iridescent with dewdrops, 
my garden of joy is full this moment.

Fill my cup from little streams...with music -...

It upsets me how cruel people are in this world today
pictures show baked in dirt crying alone 
Having grow up tainted with killing and brutality 
in the streets bombs going off
Earth shattering noise as the...

The joy this Christmas will come from
The celebration of being alive,
And avoiding strife.

The joy this Christmas will come from,
The written word,
Not the presents scored.

The joy this Christmas will come from,
From bullets dodged,
Not complaints lodged.

The joy...

He's just three and already has a personality
My heart is full, just having him around
This child, a Special Gift of mine

His young character, a demanding...

Cottonwood and royal pine, majestic oak and fields of wheat
All you hear are birds, and the pitter patter of little feet

The smell of lilac fills the air, dirt roads far as one can see
Just beware...

The best medicines

Its cold and the sky today is gray
no squawking in the sun from the young blue jays
I hear the pitter— patter of  little feet
and wonder if it is my little friend gray...
