besprizorniki 

roaming the streets of Russia 

no mamas to love 

bereft of humanity 

a million beating hearts sigh...

our mama duck is not like the others
the other mamas glide like sailboats
she drags us around faster than a jet ski
because she is a Gemini daddy says...

Act out stories of ancestors and gods
Reciting poetry they gave us nods
Polyrhythmic drumming
Mamas are a humming
African dances will shake up your bods....

Many is the night you held me, to calm my fears.
One person who will not hurt me
Tough when it counts
Helping, healing gentle hands
Ever the cheerleader
Regal beauty and wise...

haiku series

yards in bloom
gussied up for Easter
girls in new hats

baby robins
kids spy a nest
mamas squawk

maple seeds twirl
delighting kids and adults
tadpoles morph

your love so fragile 
made of glass
shatterproff
against my selfish grasp
glass now cut
cut so perfectly
gives me color
with every suns beam
Mama, your edge
is so very sharp
but I reach, protected
by your warrior heart

Love, Kim...

Let us play
Every day,
Be the actors of
May,
Play with children
And smile
Like our Mamas,
Try to get
All you need,
Try to act
As we agree,
And to have
Sweet and warm
Golden summers!
We are Papas
Of June,
Wish to see
All you soon!...

Free time!
Celebration,
Relaxation,
My friends,

Congregation,
Music, flowers,
Funny jokes
And gifts -
For our Mamas,
Free ways,
Free games
And happy days -
It's our pleasure!
Have a good time
And the rest
Free measure!...

Suspicious and hyper-vigilant

My power animal, the deer

Tails white, or sometimes black

My favorite animal

Antlers on males,

Graceful, gentle mamas

Fawns delicately spotted,

My wild animal, the deer

Ready to bolt at a twig’s notice...

M	Mamas, Mommies and Moms

O	Often otherworldly, and ordinary

T	Turn to each other for guidance

H	Help the neighbors learn new ways of doing things

E	Enthusiastic about their children and friends

R	Raise their children to reflect their values...

Days pass
clouds turn to dust
dry pulls across the yard and freezes
not autumn not summer 
but time inbetween
blown glass fish 
bright red glass heart on my dresser
a howling dog
and rocks from Mamas kitchen window
that teacup
all the butter
no one's watching...

Sometimes when I was very small
I couldn't make it through the night
I'd dream of things that creep and crawl
and wake up with an awful fright.
Then staring into all that gloom
remembering what my mama said
I'd run down the hall into her room
Cause there's no bad dreams in Mamas bed....

Where did your dreams go,
may I ask you, my child,
do you still have them,
or did you just put them aside.
.
Where did the time go,
may I ask you, my child,
did it slip away,
in your days of being wild.

Where is your future,
may I ask you, my child,
you make the decision,
mamas getting tired....

Triple H is howling her fury
Heating up Europe
Helping them to shut down
Having her way 

Triple H is smiling and smug
Heating up houses 
Helping babies to be miserable
Having to sit on their mamas

Triple H is loving her power
Heating up tempers
Helping people to argue and fight
Having no control over their anger...

April day is gorgeous.
I wake up early, head to my art studio.
Surrounded by paints and glitter, I feel wonderful.
Working simultaneously on four canvases, in the best of moods.
Humming to The Mamas and the Papas, seventies music.
My eye catches something running rapidly.
Screech!
Day ruined by one small black field mouse....

Goblins, ghosts, pumpkin juice boogie.
Witches, cats, dumpkin loose, moogie.
Halloween, trick-or-treat, spider web woogie.
Costumes, masks, mamas, wider ebb soogie.

October magic, moonlight, bats in a choogie,
Secretive coven twilight, hats in a doogie.
Jack-o-lantern carving, cats in a loose loogie,
Goblins, ghosts, pumpkin juice boogie....

My mama is bigger than your mama
The baby deer knew it was true,
But she had no inkling of why this would matter
Your mama is perfect for you, mine is perfect for me.
Baby bear smiled, agreeing totally.
They did not have to be the same species to think alike.
Their mamas gave each other a comfortable smile.
Then the deer bounded over the fence into the woods....

creaking rust

trouble at school in the fifties and sixties
meant more trouble at home – big trouble
trouble at school in 2021 means 
Big Mama’s coming up to throw her weights around.
Yes, those weights!
She will be mad and mean.
Yell, scream, take out her guns if she must.
Some mamas are more aggressive than others.
Daddies are the same though, staying out of it
Watching the TV, leaving it up to the women....
