a dog is walking
he leaves yellow of fluffed white

She fluffed her cotton tail
A hare raising event

This January
————————

Too cold now to snow —
Clouds flee with their flurries —
The birds crouch fluffed up...

a cool sun shivers
held hostage by graying skies
fluffed feathers await

sink into sleep
drop into deep
paddle in waves
of fluffed up sheep
glide through the dark
fade into dense
waves of muffled
quiet rest....

Cool salad

Washed and dried and fluffed and curled,
Sprayed to hold the look in place.
Into the rain and it unfurled,
Wet and flattened all over my face....

Fuzzy bee has come to tea
He fell in the Earl Gray, in front of me
Fluffed out his fuzz, with a buzz buzz whee
I really love this fellow, fuzzy bee...

waddle waddle waddle quack quack quack
fluffed up feathers on my warm little back
doing the splits in the happiest way
I shall wander down to the pond today...

A soft red design, fluffed up with fur
She’s crossing downtown area
Looks like fire on a woman
Tenderly scraping sides
Looks indifferent
Yet speaks volumes
With shoulders
Screaming
Fire

Going through the house
gathering up the spent ones.
Sorting into piles, all alike,
they go in one at a time.
Washed and rinsed clean.
Then dried and fluffed
until baby bum soft.
What I want to know...
Is why does...
The dryer eat the socks?...

Our  game show host,
in negative, 
teeth bleaching.
papering the cracks,
with good lighting,
and bad jokes,
We
never
see 
you 
coming.

Fluffed before countdown
but you never came,
your climax is waiting,
any minute now
there is no edit....

T is for talented, can gobble and gobble and gobble
U is for underfed, won't taste good, scrawny 
R is for regal, feathers fluffed up and holding waddle up high
K is for keen, too eager 
E is for earnest, long face and won't give a small gobble or laugh
Y is for youthful, too young too die!...

H0USEBOUND

my god! i‘m housebound
another sip of coffee
outside?      Imagine 
it’s fourteen below zero
I’m tiptoeing through the snow

squirrels are watching me
birds with feathers all fluffed out
barefooted      i sink,
touch feet on the icy ground
god no!     rather be housebound...

Peering over the meadows 
Clouds fluffed in appreciation
Enjoying verdant leaves of sacred tree

Peacefulness filling out all corners
Of blue sky 
White fluffs gentled into the day

Anticipating God’s brilliance
In creating the landscape
The elements applauded

Never having seen a prettier
day in the land of the
meadow creatures...

Heavenly sculptures floating high
Define those images I try
Is that a rabbit hopping by?
Each design changing art
Imagination on the fly
Once a frog, now a heart

Fluffed up egos strut on their way
White, cottony coats turn to gray
Blue disappears to my dismay
Light to dark brewing storm
Grumpy groans follow light display
Clouds looks like one cross swarm...

Hair is beauty
We get it fluffed, curled, died, fixed
We get it highlighted, lowlighted, razored,
But what if we lose it?

Let’s say our hair is gone
It has all fallen out
Are we still beautiful?

Are babies not beautiful?
Are seven-year-olds who have cancer not beautiful?
Are gorgeous women who are taking radiation not beautiful?

Hair is beauty
But should it be?...

Whiskers tickle my face 
Brilliant orbs gaze up at me 
Reflection of my soul 
  
Purity fluffed in fur 
Love melody purred 
Innocent creature 
  
Compassion of this companion 
My love for it as if my child 
Its bliss reciprocated 
  
Cuddled in bed 
Sprawled upon my lap 
My little shadow 
  
My light in the dark 
Comfort in the cold 
Orange, furry, and fat 
I truly love this cat...

March Madness

fluffed snow tickles the nose
freckles dot the tawny grass
crazed puppies circle a white haired tree
a cat examines its shaking paw
children laugh at March’s lion
frosted windows smile
invisible birds stand silent vigil
tires spin, shovels scrape
a passing dog adds a dash of yellow
Spring peeks from behind the Ground Hog

Fog as new as this charcoal gray day
Or is it really old
Like damp, dirty wool fluffed upon
Pines, if only it were gold

Luscious verdant leaves of spring muted
Yet dampnes has a part
In life's cycle, the nature of earth
It has from the very start

Did man in the garden of eden
Live saturated in damp
Or was there perfect conditions
Where he could stomp and ramp  ...

In quilting class (which meets on Zoom),
I followed the directions,
By cutting, pinning, basting, sewing
All the different sections.

I kept up with the teacher 
(Which for me is very rare),
So during “show and tell” I had
A project I could share.

With the pillow insert stuffed inside,
I fluffed it all the way
And proudly placed it on the couch,
My hard work on display.
