Morning sunrise showers
momentum of gold bliss
meandering brightly at 
mountain and valley’s skirts
making winged critters
marvelously dance with
mother nature’s richness.

Exquisite blonde egg
Pale blue veins
Inspired by Faberge’
A Russian goldsmith

She opens up into pure loveliness
daring others to desire a peek
Jeweled and enameled esoteric creation
Marvelously artistic secretive blonde egg...

Mad Millie made mention of her mother’s murderous mind.
We wrinkled wandering thoughts which were marvelously kind.
Thinking we knew better than Mad Millie until we did find.
That her mama truly did have a splendiferous murderous mind....

1959 Pink Cadillac
Driven by my first boyfriend
He was fifteen
Those tail fins were really something!

And the chrome was dazzling!
Marvelously beautiful.
Amazing. We still speak of it.
Because I married him.

Wish we still had this classic car....

Savoring solitude’s a sweet sensation
a blissful moment of euphoric, elation
the marvelously meaningful meditation
a sacred savored spiritual vacation
transcending tensions I fly fleetly away
to spiritually survive, savoring silence
mentally waltzing upon my way.

WONDERS OF WONDERS

wonder of wonders
Lord how wonderful, you are
wonders, of wonders

yes!  you are, you are
you’re so marvelous, and you’re…

Auctioneers have quite a simple job
They must make wares sound outstandingly wonderful
In 1816 a really great one sold Sir Issac Newton’s tooth
For a marvelously crazy price –
Three thousand seven hundred and eighty five dollars.
The nobleman who bought it had it put into a ring.
His wife left him....

Snow White was astounded at their love for her
Seven little munchkins, whose hearts were pure.
She had not felt this kind of love for many years
Together they had alleviated her stepmother fears.
They were marvelously helpful dwarfs who loved her so.
With them around, she felt beloved, her heart all aglow....

Awakening..

Could it be this simple..?

Allowing life as it is

Not to worry about the "I" as unawakened

Allow that unawakened I to do as it pleases

Perhaps walking down a path seeking to

Find what seems to be missing..

All of these appearances..appearing in 

What is marvelously happening......

Autumnal fervor
radiates majestic art
Green, red, gold, brown blends
Magnify nature’s beauty
God* marvelously designed.

*Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

The Father of Rock and Roll was not Elvis.
It was Chuck Barry, wild man from Chicago
He was the rhythm and blues king
His guitar solos and showmanship are legend.

Today we still hear some of his best songs on the radio.
Johnny Be Good, Nadine, Maybelline, Ding-a-Ling
Sweet Little Sixteen, Memphis Tennessee
He was amazingly talented, and marvelously fun to watch!...

She is open-hearted and truthful
Deception and game playing are out the window
She floats through her garden
Loving her plants

She is a joy to know
Her enthusiasm includes the sun and the moon
She is upbeat and positive
Loving her is easy

She is marvelously open and light
Listening to my woes
Encouraging every aspect of life
Loving the world in her own way...

Missy Sue makes malted milk shakes
and she savors marmalade,
macaroons and snickerdoodles
and sweet souffles she has made.

Sue is messy slicing melons,
strawberries and mangoes too.
Sue munches seeds and celery sticks.
She mixes meats, making stew.

Milk chocolate -mouth-watering,
sweet and marvelously mild -
satisfies Missy Sue
mainly if it is Swiss styled!...

My mystic mirror 
Shades silver stones simultaneously 
Later, light leaked 
Unconsciousness uttered
Sleep splashed sincerity
Amidst an aesthetic 
smile, stood shining stars
I immediately identified 
who was welcoming 
morning marvelously; My mother...
Sleep slept, smiles spread
Today's treasure,
Best Breakfast...

Thank 
You 
For 
A 
Wonderful 
Morning, Mother......

Soldier Boy


The rain is very thorough.
Going where I have to go
this summer afternoon I march west

beneath my own umbrella while
you beneath a floppy hat 
dash marvelously east.

Why I wear this uniform
explains why I ignore 
the perfume traipsing in your wake 

the ribbons dancing in your hair
so I beneath my own umbrella
can keep on marching west.

Morey Mouse made merry,
Mollifying Mallory’s Mama,
Maybe mixing mammoth metaphors

Marvelously mystical, Marmaduke mimed
mingling, meshing, ‘mogrifying magical mites,
Measuring muskrats minding miniature minnows

Meddlesome merrymakers, Mr. Mumbsly mentioned, miffed.
Mesmerized minions made millions, merely making mincemeat.
Mediocre maybe, magnificent Mrs. Mumps meticulously mentioned....

I am revered by the Ancient Greeks
I caw and crow silently, yet steadily 
I am divine, unique and marvelously gorgeous. 

Venus understood my healing properties
Cupid not so much
He aided me on my journey to this earth planet 

I am a well-known healer
I am positivity
I am will power

I bring the calm
I bring ancient wisdom
I bring strength 

Call me black onyx
For that is my name…....

Those wee hours of the morning
Are absolutely amazing
When everyone is asleep
Not a soul to make a peep

It’s marvelously divine
But to be awake by nine
I may want to catch a few winks
Then trust caffeine to fix the kinks

Hollyhock princesses provides a happy team.
Showing up marvelously in July’s early sunbeam.
Their lovely pink fuzziness shows no glare or loud sheen
They are as pretty as any beauty of sweet sixteen

Hollyhock princesses showing the garden off just so.
We can see their height no matter what our row.
They entice a delight as they tower and they grow.
Giving our garden as special warm spiritual glow....

Tiny blue flowers
Gently and marvelously created,
Painted in shades of blues,
Such as soft skies with lavender hues,
Sapphire and royal blues
Like those of glistening gems.
As they lie there in soils so rich
With their delicate petals
And sensuous beauty,
They softly whisper of His glorious splendor,
Saying, “see my beauty”,
He painted me.
A vision of royal splendor;
These are God’s tiny blue gems....

He discovered a little girl lying in his bed.
Shh! He told his wife. She is sleeping like the dead.
Baby bear wanted to sneak a peek at the human too.
Look said Mama Bear. What a cute tiny shoe!

Goldilocks woke up and was startled to see
Three grizzly bears winking at her, smiling with glee.
She had no idea how kind they all were and marvelously gay.
Running off without her shoes on this warm spring day....

Merry was the prettiest M that ever could be
She was swirly and floral, a gorgeous sight to see
We tried to compliment her, but she did not hear
She was unassuming and modest, a melodious dear

She could carry a tune, marvelously melodic and fine.
Many merrymaking suiters stood next to her in a chorus line.
Each wanted attention, because Merry was totally lovely.
She was truly the prettiest M that ever could be....

Life is so short, and it runs away!
Like a youngster, having fun at play.
But, on a cloudy day, we are all put in the ground.
Dear families,  encircle us, with sad, tearless sounds.
Age, matters  not one bit.
Live, love and do keep marvelously fit.
Nobody dreams, ah this day is my last!
Love others with a passion and fast!
Express your truths without shame.
Remember, we all do not think the same!
