dwindling drafts 
flutter blank pages--
a pen rolls...

a blustry morning
blows wind through the window cracks
drafts around my feet....

Snowflake drifts, curling	
Drafts, like angry words, cut
Blinding white dazzles bright....

For the air, 
They carry only love, 
And so, birds fly. 

On drafts of love, 
From beating hearts, 
We too, soar high....

Sometimes we write many drafts
about who we want to be in our thoughts,
only to realize we've become editors
in other's people's lives........

The colors drift
With the winds of winter
Drafts dapple and draw
A sequence of life
Ever changing
But always the same
Once it begins
It never ends
And so life goes…...

Survey as artist drafts her masterpiece,
enclosing space invisibly across.
Then single-handedly, she will increase
the center parts to form unseen valise.

I am a silly caterpillar 
Intoxicated 
By the fumes of Grace. 

Look my way 
My wings are blue  
I am a light hearted butterfly sailing on the drafts of love.

I am a laughing baby your serious faces 
So funny to me 
I am an attitude of gratitude...

Somewhere inside Big Red is her body.
A shield against winter drafts and cold
It covers her delectables and wraps her delights.
I hate it. 
Its artificial fur vexes my skin and hides her from me.
But I know, inside that unnatural mantle is her body.
MMMMM OK....

Your word is taken into consideration, while left and lead with false information, 

pulling, under pressure fighting for admission, forced under supervision. 
Tactics were found, ammunition is released figures don’t meet. 

All in my own words no copyright”
Believe in your poems and drafts, your the art ??...

Dreams of birds flown south
live in shadows of summer past.
Gray skies and cold drafts
come as winter settles the land.
A year’s ending
when a friend mourns
her sister’s passage,
brings hopes for another beginning.
On days like this
I wonder about my life,
the reasons we live and die
seasons and incarnations of time....

Spiral notebooks -
containing traces of 
ideas, drafts, false starts
and unfinished works.

Doodles and rambling thoughts
scribbled on collage rule paper -
blue lines 
and standard margins

written in pencil 
pages smudged 
and torn by the eraser
nothing permanent.   

Somewhere in those 
scattered thoughts
live insight, wisdom
and poetry....

Refreshing scent of dew upon the grass,
Warm and humid as the sun is rising,
Songbirds singing melodies of morning,
Beautiful blooms upon the garden bed.

Invigorating drafts of Folgers in the air,
Comfy covers keeping sleepers warm,
Dawn passing soft welcome through the home,
Sleepy eyes awakening once again.

To live this spring morning....

THROUGH THE CRACKS

unbreakable
no cracks or 
complaints
perfect in 
every way
without me
she would not
exist so
thankful
like a true 
Pacifist

then she left
letting in 
cold drafts
through cracks
in the dark
secretly wishing
I would die…she lied


Spiteful
Ambivalent
Narcissist

When a January blast,
Feeds a February blizzard,
It recedes into a March flurry.
An April flutter,
Melds into a May wafting.
Giving way to a June zephyr,
Followed up by a July puff.
A mere breath in August,
Succumbs to September drafts,
Which are overcome by gusts of October.
Nodding away to the gales of November,
That chill a soul for the blows of December....

There is a space
When time stands still,
Here face to face
Deep silence fills.


In a calm trace
Cause greets last light,
A certain pace
Transcend mere sight.


Stillness now drafts
True tensile tact,
Watch ideas craft
Such myriad acts.


In poignant feel
That grand design,
Watch stillness heal
What cause aligns.

As my mind dreams deep...
And I sleep the night 
Warm drafts...breeze on me 
I see mom...with tears 
Dad, smiles...next to her 

Lost in now time

My heart, I give 
My all...is his 

My love...his 
My life...his 
My soul...his
 
Lord, Thanks...
For my...

I sift lines
Retrace old footsteps
I sip wine
Retouch old mind maps


I scan plots
Refine odd angles
I cast lots
Remind odd bangles


I seek drafts
Retrace fond trips
I feed craft
Rescind dim grip


I stitch reach
Retrieve old pitch
I beach niche
Relaunch prompt itch


I pry poise
Restore odd oomph
I try noise
Reward odd blooms
