The snow flakes gently fall
they wrap their icy embrace
around junipers of bloom
they float down and coat the globe in white
they cushion the streets
and cushion the hearts
the snow shuts the world out
it blinds and covers
it covers the grime
the blatant poverty
it makes everything look clean and pristine...

Upon birth, Juniper loved her name; no one else had it.
But then others heard it.
Now there are sixteen Junipers in the same class - her class.
The teacher wants to number them.
Juniper one, Juniper two, Juniper three.
The parents sign a petition they do not want their children numbered.
They should have thought of that before they stole Juniper’s middle name too....

When will pretty?
      leaves of green,
bud with everlasting
      love, skies
splash intense cerulean?
   and rivulets of ivy
cascade, junipers
  show off their Spring?
outfits, roses
      purse their lips
of pink and red
    wink at him, shower?
her with adoration
   petals.  in the blink
of an eye, changes
will arrive, cold
tucked in heaven’s chest.

My
Mind
Melts
Orange

Scattering butterflies
Singing with iridescent
Chameleons
First aqua green, then
Revolution

Clubbing twilight with both
Fists, gulped by gallons
Of planets

Parading
As thoughtless trees

Overbearing junipers
Crowding the galaxy

With shrinking
Wisdom

Unafraid of red
Ants

Colonizing advanced
Mountaintops

Millions
Of miles

Inside

My

Mind

All around
birdies bicker
cats creep
doggies dig
every evening.
 
flowers flirting,
greening grass,
heather hedging
invading insects
juicy junipers.
 
keening kin
life lost,
mournful mending
nurture needed.
 
ominous omens,
praying penitent
quietly quaking
redemption rendered.
 
sweet scents
tease, tickle
unarm ugliness
vivacious violets
 
warmly witness
xeroxed xanthous.
yonder yawn
Zany zinnia!...
