buds smiling in bubbly mirth
lovely damsels of the earth
hidden in emerald veil
wafting sweet aroma in the dale

Optimist: “Look! It’s half full.”
Pessimist: “No! Half empty!”
Realist: “Such debates are
fruitless. Let’s all just share the water.”

Spring wears flowers in her hair
Sprinkles new buds everywhere
Whispers to Breeze, sweetly go
Dance among trees--it's Spring's Early Show

Time scolded, “Don’t you know,
as your days come and go,
they will bring good AND bad?
You’re blessed. You should be glad.
Thank God for all you’ve had!”

 blue sky, dotted with white clouds
sun, in his last lap of race
slanting rays gleam in gold sheen
their beauty to evening they bestow

Though skies are dark and dreary,
The songbirds’ trills are cheery,
encouraging me today
to feel inspired and sing anyway!

As Winter sheds it armor,
young Spring proves quite a charmer.
Though I may sniffle and sneeze,
March hues and fragrances surely please.

Sky ablaze in glorious shades of tangerine
warm marmalade and tints of burnished gold
I love to watch the setting sun
as it sinks low and vanishes behind the horizon

he said, “but I don’t know the rest. Do you?”
I said, “Who cares? For Valentine’s Day,
I want pizza. What do you say?”

AS I SAID BEFORE

Flights of fancy
colour my eye..

A terracotta
speckled sallow
cochineal
in flaxen fallow..

A bluish buff
soft yellow
saffron shadow
upon mallow.

Flights of fancy
colour my eye...

A mosaic gold
ultra marine
on bone black
umber sanguine.

An olive lind
carnation citrine
reddish red
on earth green.

Flights of fancy
colour my eye......

Can you hear the sound of gossamer wings stroking the air?
A brightly colorful papillon makes its way without much care.
Few things found in nature are as beautiful as this.
Just a short time ago, it emerged from its chrysalis.
The grounded larva has undergone a metamorphosis.
In this sultry summer season is where you belong.
No wonder you inspired Bob Lind to write a song.

earth sings and swings through space
blue pearl's nascent sostenuto
sun's rouge reveil blush dusts her face
space pings as new world rings
angels praise God's high hopes

Soft yellow
      streaked 
               the terra cotta
shadowing 
        the sallow saffron
             a bluish buff;
the flaxen rubrical
rain-bow tinted
mandarine
                   unseen
tinged burnt sienna
reflecting raw umbery
on the green;
                mosaic gold
mottled the sorrel
virent yellow
               stained
a pale apricot
          redish rust
and dotting
       the lind
