Almost HomeI believed in fitness and healthy living, including obtaining sufficient sleep,
To revel for years in buttery sunshine, which makes emerald willows weep.
I consumed only healthier foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables,
As the glassy, black...

A Willow TreeSomeday I'd like to wander free
like butterfly, like bumblebee,
perhaps to plant a willow tree
beside the silent solemn sea,
before these things exist no more,
from mountain top to shifting shore,
when, soon, bald eagles cease to soar
and build...

Come To Me-Copyright2006mary BannisterIn my world there is a perfect love.
In my world there is a perpetual sun.
Come to me.
Look for the incandescent moon,
blossoming into full radiance,
casting sheen to the sky of night.
Smell the delectable pungency of cedar,
canopying...

Yearning For a Home Long GoneStanding in the ankle high emerald green grass of my
great-aunts property barefoot, hearing the creak of wood
on steel.
My daughter and husband are in the house napping, dreaming tenderly about sweet things.
Creak, crick, creak,...

Canoeing On the Current RiverOur riverbank launch at dawn
where dense forest chills the breeze,
where cottonwood leaves flutter like wings,
and weeping willow penumbras tease.
Glistening, rippling turquoise water churns.
Crystal swirling pools symphonic and aglow,
elliptic aluminum crafts coast over craggy stones,
riverbed...

Missouri RaisedGrowing up in Podunk Missouri,
meant that we had the freedom to roam.
Up and down rivers and wooded hills,
those places that we called home.
Picked berries, peaches, plums, and cherries,
and at least the ones that didn’t fill...

I Can'T DesireI can't desire the ones I love and love ones I desire,

LouisianaMemories of childhood.
I weep hidden among the shadows of my stained glass window.
I long for the scent of magnolis when the wind blows.
Sunrise over plantations casting shadows,
under the old oak trees,
with dangling moss, as the...

My Coloring BookWe loaded up for a Sunday drive
The Ozark Mountains were alive
Wild dogwoods of pink and white
Every shade of green in sight
Blooming jonquils and daffodils
Woodpeckers, blue jays, and whippoorwills
Even though the painting was unfinished
Nature's bounty was...

Birdsong ClimatesAn accident of history,
a coincidence,
I wonder,
EurAsia's Nightingale
sings toward newborn dawns of life
hope
faith,
while New Western Hemisphere's Eastern Whippoorwill
sends a darker through SouthWestern chill
warning of dualdark's bodily demise.
These two,
Nightingales with transatlantic Whippoorwills
continue singing through our outdoor dreams

In the Air TonightIn The Air Tonight
Lovers looking longing
with loves light in their eyes.
Stars all glimmer softly
lighting up the skies.
Whippoorwills all whistle
here comes the morning dew.
Watching from the treetops
as lovers dreams come true.
Happy hearts are holding
onto lovers hands...

The Hiding PlaceI remember those lazy days of summer
when we rode away on horseback
down dusty, deserted country roads;
took our shoes and socks off;
neared the trail to the river;
walked so free and easy;
gouging out that red Alabama loam

Summer's InterludeBeneath a lovers’ moon, Summer breezes in.
In still-cool primrose evenings lingering from spring,
she whispers in my ear.
I hear. . .
honey bees near lilacs, whippoorwills in leafy trees,
and somewhere. . .
A hoot owl in the...

Walking Gingerly In the WoodsBack in those early precocious days
I walked gingerly in the woods
Down in the south where I found out
Life’s beautiful, bad and good.
Out in the cypress and sycamores
Treading in the tall tall grass
Where wild deer ran...

Fall's Lasting ImpressionFuriously blushing Sumac,
blended with yellow leafed maple
adorned with now naked vines.
Subdued in evening shadows falling,
the sound of whippoorwills calling
intoxicating the mind.
Fall’s lasting impression
speaks of higher design.
The small critters getting fatter,
looking for a warm...
