The view from the many windows, was gold sunshiny delight,
With blossoms and rich greenery, and many birds...

Some with the...

Anxiety about what I might think preceded me
As I sat on the stool in the middle of my living room
Ready to think about who knows what,

Earthlings, you are so far away.
You will find,...

when I awake each day to watch the show.

We have some squirrels that we love to see
which seem to be part of our home.
They run back and forth from our old Oak tree

As I sit in my sunroom,
I watch the squirrels climb the trees.
And smoke my cigarettes,
As I please.

I hear my parakeets,
Chirp away.

I'm interrupted by dogs barking,
Which...

May
There was a very old woman named May.
In a nursing home she would stay.
Taken from chair to her bed;

No family or friends ever...

There is a most peaceful, restorative place
where I can spend hours to unwind and renew.
Our sunroom addition becomes a showcase
for nature's blue sky, rolling hills, river view;
for many a year, my own magical space...

 they missed the beauty of the Christmas rush
 when evergreens, mistletoe and hollies blushed
but now, with a little soil, water, warm sun hookup
 the amaryllis stretches high and up,
