When my little poem is sad, she cries
When my little poem is sad, she cries.
It happens when people tell lies
about this, about that
and never really get at
the meaning of her sends,
her forwards,
or replies.

Poem about Ruffles
ruffles frill up every kind of dress
add tulle and you have a real mess
fru fru and poufs bouncy and pink
as feminine as fox fur and mink
Hawaiian pearls and high heels shoes
this gorgeousness chases off the blues

Poem is Like Music
Each word a note, a quiet song,
lines rise and fall where hearts belong.
Pauses hum as loudly as the sound,
meaning dances, turning all around.
Rhythm threads through every heartbeat
and soul and melody at last meet.

Silent kiss - reversible poem
Soft moonlight on silent lips—
a secret spark in midnight air.
Our breath meets in quiet longing,
a hush deeper than starlit stillness.
Your touch blooms—petals of dusk unfurl,
echoed in the pulse between our souls.
This silent kiss is moonlight spilled—
a pale river winding through still air,
carrying the taste of rose-thorns and

always has something missing,
an emptiness between words
lined with longing,
a space large enough
for a reader to fit in.

Desert Poem
Desert Poem
Always chasing the wind
Sweet sound soothing violin
Air dry, subdued quiet room
Poetic drift embrace gloom
Paper waits, ideas bend
Wrinkled clouds ascended
Just a small black desk
Embrace silent voices isolated
Mind runneth off the deep end
Desert poem heat index
Quench a poetic journey
Nightly shadows with creative scenery

Dear Logan
Everyone knows it’s supposed to be me and you.
But because somebody decided to hurt me through you.
Now I have to go on without you.
And close my eyes to forget about you so I can survive.

Empty Guinness bottles
reminders of what
I am trying to forget.
Litter my family room table

that are not afraid of the light.

For Beloved Pets Over
(written upon the death at age 14 of our beloved shih tsu Max
on Aug. 11.)
Over ~
Over
The Bridge
where they go
To verdant eternal forests
and fields,
To run and leap free
Without leashes, reigns or chains…
All heaven blessed
With no hunger or thirst
While waiting for us.

The Start of a New Poem
It is a night creamed by melting darkness.
Fireflies are obsessed with secrecy tonight
And dim their lights cautiously, frugally.
Crickets and cicadas crepitate with muted
Feelings, sallying wretched, orphaned tadpoles.
I cringe from traditional horror,
Wincing with the power of concern.
Lest I forget, the moon travelled out of town.
The constellation was keeping wake in the outer
Universe, where stars were hired
