"Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine,
freedom, and a little flower." Hans Christian Andersen
NATURE SAVES THE DAY
The raven splendor of the woods —
fathomless birth of birds in song.
I’ve lost myself. I’ve found silence
of mortal vows - can do no wrong.
Breathless the cadence of freedom —
my feet wrapped in wondrous blisters.
The bears tip their hats, admire me.
Arcadian does are my sisters.
Beautiful emerald green folk —
the shadow’d forest canopy.
My hair glistens after its soak —
loud petrichor and dripping leaves.
Thread of my dream like golden wings
as my nightmare lays next to me —
I tiptoe first steps into the dark.
Scissors cut battered apron strings.
Serenity’s gate on a horse.
A salvaged heart awaits a prince.
Sincere eyes ready for a bride.
Thwarted thistles of providence.

Writing Prompt - Ten Words Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Dear Heart
Word List: thread, heart, silence, hair, beautiful,
dark, green, birds, fathomless, breathless
I smell the dewdrops on your silken hair
touch the shapely curves of many years
lick the taste of salty oceans from your lips
feel forest needles spike essence of trust
hear the words unspoken leave your soul
see love embrace an aura of foreverness
awareness consciousness perceptions dance
to the tune of mindful poetry beholding
short lasting moments eternity sweet vibes
when I am old and cataracts distort my eyes
wild waters’ currents bring me back to shore
the coastline smooth while tides are turning
I see you whispering words and sacred vows
take your hand to cradle life lines’ palms
and rest in satin sheets for another journey
grateful for the dewdrops of your incarnation

How high their ship…she’s sitting on the waves.
Bob-stopped at top of ferris wheel. Their might,
a flood about their feet - they dare not breathe.
The teeter-tottering might sink them quick.
Her formerly unbalanced stance, so drunk.
The utter-wave that drives her down and up.
The shipmates think of home and more so then.
Ship ascends Everest to bump the sky.
What hell! What depths! The slide at breakneck speed.
The fear! Except the Lord does intercede…
The tears they weep on their way down. The begs
begin, to promise God all sorts of things.
Their promises are seated on the peak.
And will they speak of them again? Will death
or life relieve their fears? Forgotten deals -
vows read as each one stands before the King.

When we met we were just a
couple kids that thought we
knew it all. We fell madly in love,
and married young.
Everyone said we would never
make it. They said we were just
kids ourselves.
Looking back I would have waited
to do such a grown up thing. I was
still a girl and you were still a boy.
But by some miracle our love saw
us through.
In the beginning we would fuss and
fight all through the night.We
struggled to keep a roof over our head
and our family fed.
Looking back I would have waited
to do such a grown up thing. I was
still a girl and you were still a boy.
But by some miracle our love saw
us through.
Ten years later we got it together.
We renewed our vows. And over the
years we fell more in love. I realized
that you were a gift from up above.
Suddenly I saw a boy become a man.
And I was no longer a little girl I was a
woman in love with her man.
So although I was just girl and you
were just boy when we wed, it was
destiny after all.

FUJIWHARA EFFECT
Castanets blazing
Crashing
Dancing, two too, hot
Figures frenzied
Territorial
Spinning, sidewinding
Like sumo wrestlers, sizing
Each other up
A man, a woman
Feisty, fiesta of sorts
Contemplating their next moves
Slowing down, steeping
Stepping ever so slightly
Looking for a crown
Together at last,
An immense storm
The shore longs to run, to hide
Heartbeat of waves, throbbing
Frenzied, frightened
Castanets chattering
Like teeth, casting crowns
Against the beach
Taking it by force
Sand in the eyes
The tide rises, higher
And higher
Into vacation homes
Whipping, lashing
Every last inch
Driving it home
A giant craps
When the vows are taken
In fujiwhara effect

A long long time ago there lived a king.
His lovely daughter he’d give anything.
She walked about, jewels dripping from each hand,
talking down to all, thinking she was grand.
There was but one thing missing from her life.
But not one prince desired her for his wife.
Her personality repulsed all men.
They’d meet her once, then not see her again.
Her father found for her one rich old king
but she preferred young, handsome and charming.
One day the perfect suitor came along.
This handsome man wooed Roseanne with a song.
How beautiful his voice! How sweet his face.
A man was he of talent and of grace.
The opposite of spoiled Roseanne was he.
The king arranged their wedding anxiously!
However, no one knew from whence he came.
Though very rich, this young prince had no fame.
How was it he could even stand Roseanne,
the princess from whom all the others ran?
He had so much. Why waste it all on her?
Despite good looks, Roseanne had no allure.
One thing he asked for. This is what he said:
“Inside my castle we must both be wed.”
The wedding guests felt great relief and bliss,
for Roseanne soon would get her first true kiss!
But unbeknownst to them, the handsome man
Roseanne was marrying had his own plan.
When he was young, a witch on him had cast
a spell! It would be broken now at last!
The ceremony started. Vows were said.
The prince then raised the veil from his wife’s head.
He softly kissed her lips. Then something weird!
The castle they all stood in disappeared.
The wedding guests waist-high in water stood.
The prince changed too, and he did not look good.
His voice so beautiful became a croak.
The king stood there about to have a stroke!
The splendid castle had become a bog;
The groom leaped happily – once more a frog!

Entry for John Hamilton's the Best rhyming poem 3 Poetry Contest
If ever I had two hours with you… or three,
the vacancy of this night and lulled
shores would be refilled with the gushing
of frosted air on our reveries past;
the multitude of amiable stars bestowing
a hush of surrender... raged midnights ending
into fresh mornings backed by our
theme song replayed.
Then, to recall the sevens and nines of time
cutting our names into crumpled paper: a departure
of hearts traveling in different territories.
We inched away,
not because of lack for vows marked in deepest
sands. But… by fate’s desire to shelter you in
a faraway place, while I... I burned skies
through the pain and beauty
the long distance of regrets had claimed.
If and when we unite again, two or three hours
by God's grace, oh the fluttering of a thousand
fearless thoughts would not be enough to say you were
the branch that got away, and I was your last rose
that lost its stem.
Perhaps, now is the moment to clutch the moment?
Regina Riddle's Seize The Day ( Carpe Diem)

If we had kept our feelings to ourselves
and avoided stranger's eyes doubting us,
none of this would have ever happened;
this secret should have remained sealed.
We wanted to lead a personal life,
stay out of the limelight, feeling free;
we sworn fidelity as husband and wife,
built a house and dreamt by the sea.
We are sure nothing would ever happened,
honoring our vows, making them stronger;
what excites us is being near and together,
growing in trust, joy and love until our end.
Oh, it has come to our attention
that happiness is not worth losing
over dreams without realization:
all it matters is never stop giving.
Very little is gained by showing vanity,
let's pursue this path with dignity;
nothing will ever happen without desire...
if our conviction can't withstand time.
Our love is strong like the ocean,
Sometimes calm, sometimes unstable.
But always present and constantly fierce.
So great, there's no name or label.
Your soul radiates such a beautiful glow,
It warms my sometimes icy heart.
I feel I can do anything in the world,
so as long as we're not apart.
A kiss for your luscious lips,
makes my heart and soul smile.
Even when I'm mad or upset,
I yearn for your touch, all the while.
My heart is all for you and only you,
And I hope you feel the very same.
To share passion like ours is incredible,
And to not have experienced it, is a shame.
I hope to one day speak our marriage vows.
Then I can finally be a someone's treasured wife.
To hear you say you feel the exact same way,
Would be one of the sweetest words spoken in my life.
