fluffing silver leaves
cottonwood steadies herself
glittering my heart....

Why stop at Roe
When you can stop No
Best seen and not heard
When you’re fluffing your herd

Harvest

Scaturient

Hanging, fluffing, waiting

Provide, provision, work, fatigue

Fruitage   

I know you will not be able to see the picture that I am writing about which is not to my advantage.

The secret of life,
making old things new:
fluffing the seas
long flattened 
by sails…
restoring clouds
to the summits of mountains,
not one worth the climb
were it not for
high mysteries

I sit, pen in hand
as if holy--
we are all priests of a sort
(both light and dark)
our sacrament
that of creation....

SNOWBIRD VARIATIONS

chirping merrily
black midst an awful whiteness
fat snowbirds seeding 

once in a while
a twiggy branch comes alive
snowbird fluffing

lazy winter’s watch
overcoming tedium
suddenly – snowbirds	

a beautiful frost
flaming red against the snow
winter cardinal

the frost coated limbs
winter’s cold magical scene
blackbirds brush the sky...

Joyous Noel
Splendorous with foil
Foiling the weather,
Birds fluffing feathers,
Joyous Noel
Keeping warm with kindness,
Strong with pine scents
Trees sparkling white, contents
Joyous Noel!
Let none be voiceless
Voicing all of this churr,
A gently stirred whirr.

Churlish wind hovers overhead
Ready to chart its path of dread
By wistful, listless conductor led
Twirling baton with rotors fed
A swirling blender over land spread
Careening, eerie echo left in its stead
Fluffing the threads of barren bed
Wispy fibers in ginning whirlpool sped
Silty granules from denuded top shred
Strafing the strands of every bare head...

She wanted me to pretend she was that a bird
Fluffing her hair as though it were her plume
Wishing myself, to stroke her feathers sweetly..
Lifting her ivory silkened arms, high into the sky
Her beauty then began to turn in tiny circles until
The nurse walked in; caressing her lovely breast 
She playfully giggled; glittering lips of ruby red
Yellowbrick kisses emerald stars; champagne....

She rarely looked up when she was hunting
But cat felt an urge to see something today
Something was different about the meadow
A new feeling. Maybe tree had something to say?

What is it? She asked old man walnut, in the spirit way. 
Wind whispered back at her, fluffing the dandelions.
A tiny mouse fluttered a few feet ahead, so she could not stay
But a spiritual awakening was afoot in the meadow today....

mermaid wrested her breasts on the edge of the dish
Her powerful tail gave one tremendous swish
Be open to new people, her inner voice said.
Who are you? Mermaid asked, fluffing her hair of red.
Little girl carrying calico kitten stiffly walked by.
Can you please get me out of here? Mermaid asked, her head held high.
The little girl snickered and the cat gave a sniff.
They rolled their eyes as if to say “as if”…....

back and forth the white swan drifts
fluffing up her wings, then 
from the green reeds and wildflowers swaying, 
paddling in a circle dance, come her 
babies to nestle on her back . . .

Back and forth the white swan drifts, at times
fluffing up her wings and I watch her enchanted; then 
from the green reeds and wildflowers swaying, 
paddling, oh so quickly in a circle dance, come floating many 
baby swans, and one climbs up to nestle on her back . . .

what scarlet
names or named
dreams come to me
arrows passing flight
letters passing words
kisses directing hits
hits me again
moonbeams
slang
my
brutal
remaining stains

no stains
only white
washed clouds
fluffing down
spiralling
period
effect
lasso
mine

my
mind

these dazes
of love
above me
shove me
beyond
combat zones
letter ing dismissals
thermal zones
frozen thistles
thorn me in love
scalding
mutt harlot
what
scarlet
?

I am a willow tree with branches that bend over backwards.
Love a soft breeze fluffing my leaves, and even a hard wind.
Can be a tornado when you double cross me; I get even.

I love my hobbies. Poetry, cartooning, painting, drawing, writing.
My meals are simple, I care not what clothes I wear.
I am not persnickety about anything, but I love the word persnickety.

My friends adore me, and I adore them.
I have a terrific life, I am joyful.
Unless I am sad. No one is as sad as I can be....
