My ivy plant was 
dying
   She took it home - nursed 
it back to health
Having neglected the plant
    for a number of 
weeks
I thought it was a "goner"
But now it is growing 
up towards the sun
       Overhanging 
the sides of its pot
It is a living, green 
  testament to life...

Wave a magic wand.
Bring me to the pond
we two slowly strolled around.
Hand in hand, our walk, 
in soft tones, our talk, 
as, new love, we surely found. 

Overhanging trees,
gentle, soothing breeze,
swans, on the water, gliding,
as we did decide
you would be my bride,
since then, our love abiding....

We’re still half a world away
from bombs. 
We’ve bolted our doors 
and rigged alarms
for burglars.

to the winds that gather 
about the house, a whisper-
conspiracy of sky 
and overhanging trees,
this rainstorm lullaby.

Oh, but 
when we’re suddenly wide
awake in the dark, 
who’s that neighbor 
come knocking?...

I watch the yellowjackets fly
‘Neath overhanging eaves,
Remaining just the briefest time
Before each buzzer leaves.

They’ve obviously built a nest - 
You’d know that at a glance -
And there they’ll wait to sting someone
As soon as there’s a chance.

In Nature, there’s a reason for
Each creature to exist.
If stinging insects got the boot, though,
They would not be missed....

Away in Mexican Isla de las Muñecas- spirits sway
Into the sobbing island green terrain domain
Wherever, I extend my eye high
I discover those hanging dolls clanging
As though actuating me queerly
To acknowledge something hairy 'n scary
In their eyeballs dim still 'n chill  
Covered in destroyed limbs 'n skins
Strung up in the air, overhanging 'n swaying
In creepy, spooky, ghastly, scary...
