Harsh,
Unforgiving,
Cold,

Pleasant,

The Angler 

I’m an angler
In the lake of my mind 
Sometimes I hook 
A big, shiny Alaska salmon
But most of the time 
I live on tinned sardines....

jealous Sun
chased Violet Dawn

Open  Armed
Jagged Sea accepts her

Hot like Kansas big red

LONELY ALASKA APRIL NIGHT


                   Snow flakes dodge
             
                   Unrequited love beam

                   Street light's kiss

Squirrel
Mother
Sensitive, gentle, stubborn, and loving
French fries, sunsets, flowers
Happy, sad, and content
Dying, bees, and failure
Peace, abundance, and Alaska
Kingdom
Hopeful...

Talked about his sister in Alaska
Said she was still single
And ready to mingle
“If available,” he said, “I’ll ask-a.”

Alaska
pleasantly cool
protein rich waters, red, green, ripples
ravenous mouths salivating to feast,
hens death spawning
early May
salmon

Winter brings the cold winds of Alaska,
even sunshine is frozen... 
only your breath warms me!
