Running From the Embryo
Heaped in the same organic embryo 
Forget the last ditch effort
To choose beyond the pail
Trading thin-ice thoughts
For a politeness to perpetuate 
The flimsy manner of excuse and apology

Your relationship to One
Like the poise of a rising Sun
That same energy to give or take 
Stacking collapsibles or elbowing for some space...

The Virtually Perfect Family
Placid waters
Boat, mildly rocking
Cheerful faces
Picture perfect snaps
Posted on social sites
Flattering comments
‘Wonderful family’
Flashback
Happy memories
Happy?
Nay!
Last ditch effort
At calming
Inside turmoil
Save marriage
Children’s sake
Alas!
Unbridgeable difference
Between 
‘Perfect family outing’
And 
‘Not so perfect family’...

A Gardeners Valentine
Please be my Valentine! 
I'm getting desperate now 
That you will never notice me 
Somewhere, sometime, somehow 

Even though I've tried 
To get some of your attention 
I'm nowhere on your radar 
I never seem to get a mention 

I'm feeling quite neglected
And I'm always overlooked 
I wish you would spend time with me 
Instead of that new book 

So in a last ditch effort 
I write you this poem in a card 
Please be my Valentine! 
Love from your overgrown yard...
