Snow drops fall daintily
Chilling the world below them
Freezing into ice....

Beautiful rose bud,
Colorful beautiful pink,
Ceramic pot holds
You daintily to show off;
Your pretty petals to all....

the blushing bride of summer sunset
dances daintily with the wistful wind
forgetting sorrow brought by bitter winter 
drying tears tossed by those who sinned...

Daintily she prances.
Dancing on tippy toes.
Demonstrating divine
Delectable movement.
Designed to captivate.
Devotees of best ballet.
Dazzled by her brillance....

Wind, do kiss thy tree.
            Bird, sits on branch, daintily.
            Rose, opens softly.

Riding in that carriage – the sun faded to black
I was all alone – again 
at halt the door opened 
as death reached in for me.
Avoiding its hand – daintily stepping out
I side stepped fate – once more....

Love of life comes in openness and delight in small wonders—
Bowing, kissing, shaking hands
The magic of a million colors lighting up a concrete night
And ants tripping daintily over boulders of sand....

Six giddy dancers are we, ready to mesmerize and please
              Synchronized daintily, wanting the applause of the audience
                                   Silhouettes and seated people, are spirits of old performers...

A golden meadow waves
In a breeze with messages
White daisies daintily sway
In the rising sunlight

There is music in the heart
Sparkling like the dew drops
On this shimmering path
Waiting for us to wander

as i gaze over
the soft granduer 
i'm drawn to rows of violets 
the nectar daintily 
dances about quiet scents
of calm breezes
chafe and yet tempting
while i rise beyond
the granite structures
industrial past times
gently i wave back at moscow...

Polite ghosts pinned on a clothesline,
Dancing daintily in the breeze.
Using please and thank you
Practicing manners with much ease

Respecting each other’s ideas
Without a bully or a tease,
They plan their class reunion,
Putting their scariness on freeze...

Springtime paints such a delightful scene
Cute lambs gambol in the fields so green

Warm winds whisper through the leafy trees
Blossoms float down on a swirling breeze

Daffodils daintily dance and shake their heads
Bringing bright yellow sunshine to our flowerbeds

Heaviest bony fish at five thousand pounds
The ocean sunfish is the roundest of the rounds.
Looks like a giant head maneuvered by a frilly tail.
Eats jellyfish by the dozen, ten foot long is the male.
It cannot move daintily, delicately or very fast.
If you meet one in person, the memory will no doubt last....

Brilliant blue butterflies 
dance daintily
on beautiful Buddleia bushes
Fluttering flirtatiously
in gorgeous gardens
nibbling nectar 
from fragrant flowers
as summer sun shines

He followed me from behind 
tampering with my mind 
I suppose I witnessed his wrath
mastered his frolicking daintily 
leaving little room for honesty 
in an instant time traveled 
while I focused on the sheer 
notion of self moving over day 
as night rolled in seated with desire 
my heart dangling on his every 
word an yet I wasn't listening...

From whence you come? 

- gifted thou petals 
   born out a fine maiden 
   virgin ground blooms 

- bearing yellow beds 
   of daises kept  pure 
   engulfed in partial view 

- demure soft lips  moisten 
   breathless with anticipation 
   inhaled scents soon seduce 

- dew droplets drip daintily 
    healing whispers melt 
    in adoration  she sighs...

Blue velvet blanket mantel dresses
Satin lace trim daintily caresses
On border, golden twine tresses
Azure light-display luminesces
In background, silver candelabra recesses
In foreground, satin Lilies rimmed with lush cresses
Overarching, marble angel with copper harp blesses
Underpinning, tidy Spruce wreath butresses
Footstool, bronze crèche a penitent tone expresses...

With no one hereabout
As above streetlight shone
“Hello beautiful”
Endurance rules you flout
Daintily peeping out
Flourishing with aplomb

By each gainful degree
Amid detritus flows
Purple petunia grows
If only all could see 
Limpet tenacity
Hidden in the shadows

Survival rates are slim
In mind you never dim

Swift stirring spring
Brilliant blooming buds
Soaring soothing sun
Fiercely falling floods

Soft soothing summer
Warm wandering waves
Sunny salty seaside
Careless conscious craves 

Alluring active autumn 
Lovely looking leaves
Dimmer days develop
Gangly grass grieves

Whirling winter wind
Bitter bulky breath
Softly sailing snowflakes
Daintily dwindling death...

Hummingbird, daintily
darting so merrily, looking for soda pop,
without the

slightest of care!
To the next shop, sugary stop
down there!

That one?
Daringly drop!
Fun!

Hummingbird, daintily
to the next shop! Sugary stop
fun!

I am waxing poetic
And hope I’m not straining 
Credulity saying
My talent’s not waning.

It may be eclipsed by
Those poets ascendant
Whose words are celestial,
Deep and resplendent.

Yet tides keep on turning
And orbits expanding,
While moonbeams drift down,
Oh, so daintily landing.

The galaxy’s bursting
With work that amazes
And room for all poets
In all of their phases.

Silly Me
I went out when I shouldn't have, silly me
Slid on the ice, though not too daintily 
Did the splits in my glide
In that I took great pride
But had no pride in thighs hugging a tree.

>                 Exotically pirouetting in the scented summer breeze
                    Daintily coquettish resting in leafy green trees
                    On translucent wings floats flower to flower 
                    Delicately shivering in a cool midday shower ,
                    In the glow of the evening fades quietly away 
                     Hopefully to return some other sunny day <...

Rosco usually dives in the ocean right away.
Today he sits on the edge of the sea with a plunk.
Dorothy usually flies into a wave head first.
She follows Rosco’s lead.
Daintily dipping in one toe.
He waits expectantly.
She knows if she plunges, he will too.
Ready to save her at a second’s notice.
He has been her protector since she was a baby.
She takes a dive, and he hits her foot with his nose....

I once had a calico. The best was she.
Every morning she would come to me
daintily on tiny feet,
wanting food to eat.
I miss that
sweet 
little cat.
My joy was replete
till cancer made her retreat.
From her pain she had to be set free.
I once had a calico. The best was she.
