Long Queen for a day Poems

The Spring Queen....... 
Delicate blooms 
Fresh and new 
Emerging colour too 

Her dress..... 
The colour of new green, 
finished off in blue 
Edged in snow drops 
They follow her too 

A walk through the trees...

Breakfast in bed, maybe later a nap.
Waited on; doted on;every need met.

And you rarely escape the duties...

On the first of May we celebrated,
Our rural town consisted of Europeans;
From Britain, France, Sweden, Finland,
And Canada, it was a community day.

From the cuckoo’s nest. Go get a clue!
You are  too hot to trot
For a guy who has got
Not a semblance of interest in you.

He won’t call you back?...

No fire in summer's scurrying splay

carpeting the earth with fractured
parquet of mismatched, misshaped shards-
a luscious ramollescence.

Her boisterous blue burgundy
cape blusters with bolstered boldness

IN THE AUTUMN OF HER LIFE—SHE STOOD
Beneath the cold gray skies, proudly she stood.
Stripped bare, naked to the world—arms outstretched
To the world; unashamed, poised in anchored dignity,
