A Beautiful Noise

When I step outside
early in the morning.
I can’t help hearing
birds singing.
Greeting the day
in their special way.
a cacophony of birdsong
Mother Nature’s music
A beautiful noise.

Our fine feathered friends,
birds of a feather.
Giving their voice
in fair weather.
In the city, 
in the forest.
And...Read More

I try to create silence in the colors
when I decorate my home
The rooms have their own high pitched atmosphere
Where the artist has painted
the smallest and finest details
My favorite artist is, Mother Nature
Nature has its own palette
and soft brushes
Maturity and renewal...Read More

Optimizing freedom zest
Challenging mother’s tidiness best
My son whirls himself around
Oblivious that he’s wheel-chair bound.

Loosening mobility gear
His spastic hands hurl things everywhere
Zooming beyond glee’s ecstasy
He’s waged war against my mess-flee policy.

Entangled around disarray’s coil
My mind screams, devoid of nagging turmoil
Special child...Read More

My child, the one i left under the care of flies
My child, the one i didn't give a chance
Mother's heart still bleeds with pain
Pain of losing you consciously 

My child, my hands can't carry your blessed body
Cos i'm unworthy to...Read More

W. R. Potter
Brother from another mother
Fellow baseball bat slugger

Someone's daughter
Someone's lover
Someone's sister to
Someone's brother
Someone's aunt and
Someone's niece
The list is endless
It doesn't cease
Someone's wife and
Someone's friend
Someone's mother
It still doesn't end
Someone's Godmother
Grandmother too
Among these people
Have you found you?
Nobody is nothing
Or no one you see
The someone in question
Is no one but...Read More

We looked at each other and winked in our head.

You are not welcome, she...Read More

When just a child the poet's mom said "Son,
Throughout your life beware the sin of pride.
Remember this when every day is done,
What counts the most is who you are inside."

At first he thought his mother's words unfair
For recognition surely has...Read More

I like to cry. I like to cry until my eyes are swollen like balloons, ready to be popped and to explode with sadness. I like the stream i call tears escaping from their prison, although they were innocent victims...Read More

The truth is
nobody really cares
they say they do
but really,
they don't even remember.
They aren't reminded each day
of this gaping hole in our hearts.
Reality is transposed
and it's us four against the world.
No matter how many prayers,
how many messages,
how many hugs.
No amount of...Read More

Deer Ruby,

Daddy doubtful hardly Dorothy know you ...

Variety gossip on the street
by parrot beaks chirping canary peeps

It seems that minutes after Halloween,
before we’ve even seen the first bits of snow,
the Christmas movies are flooding our screens,
and I think we know how they’ll all go.

The Night Hawk

Whom shall I tell my tale of woes?

my song of oblivion
the evil that descended hearth-stead,
in the tail of a winter night,
swooped upon us like a bald eagle,
as vicious as a hungry wolf,
raped my...Read More

The Making of Cookies

The lost art of putting, 
flower, sugar, vanilla,
and cream together.
More than small cakes, 
a distance…
far past “home made”, 
to the sheer land of magic.

Recipes handed down, 
from grandmother, 
(and grandfather)
to mother, 
(and father)
to daughter,
and son, 
and again....Read More

To enlighten those in the dark
To grow to a fire to char -
