Pretty, my dear,
will not last.
Come with me
to the shore
to hear the symphony
with your beautiful ears.

frolicking in salt water
playing with their babies
delighting mermaid lookouts
their prettiness matching the ocean they love
we sleep well, dreaming we are dolphins...

her hypnotic harp
angelic prettiness
soothing broken hearts

heard by empaths
recognized instantly
a home reminder

music of the stars
awakening their souls
straight from heavens gate...

art
feelings
dubious
diverse daring
finished production
individual tastes
variety of critiques
adored by some but loathed by others
imagination at her best
creativity in its prettiness...

light periwinkle blue
with yellow face
she draws butterflies

she can be ground cover
prefers cool climate
found in woodlands

tolerant of rabbits and deer
reseeds herself
spreading her prettiness...

Pouring prettiness into the cool waters of life
Ardent angel of joy was loving her newest assignment
She could feel the excitement and encouragement of nature
As the lilies, daffodils and roses took their initial sips...

Springtime magic prances forth happily
Dances her joy on heels of March winds
Revitalizing the forest
Explodes with color in March
Her fresh time prettiness
Rejuvenation
Verdant meadows
Vibrant leaves
Ushers

give me a tiny bit of prettiness
not the gnarly lip you give others
show me paradise with approving eyes
give me a sign you care
your silence shows me nothing
terrifying flowers in the garden
and the cottonwood tree

Think I'll write about l'il birdies and pretty flowers
Look up at the sky of blue and dream for hours
Then the damn alarm goes off
And all the prettiness is lost
My heart carries on, but strange looks I encounter...

Those who desire the worldly life and its prettiness
We fully give them reward herein and no less

There will be nothing for them hereafter but the Fire
Fruitless will be the designs they frame here
And their good deeds will be then of no effect whatsoever....

It is a luxury to love a Christmas cow
She brings holly berries and lots of know how
She honors Santa’s barn with grace
With a bovine prettiness that suits her face
If you are fortunate enough to love a Christmas cow
Know that your neighbors will all say “Wow!”...

I am dressed in fuchsia, lime green, vibrant yellow and turquoise today.
I feel like I just stepped off a Polynesian island as a butterfly.
I am almost too pleased with myself, flaunting my prettiness.
Marvelous start to a Monday that could have remained ordinary....

rainbow iridescent waters reflects the pink moon of Greece
I pour myself a goblet of wine, observing the prettiness of the vegetation
it has been the perfect day. 
I pick up my pen and begin tossing down words.
they all have to do with beauty, for how could they not?...

One day in May, the shadowed oak -
the lovey-doveyness, it spoke.
Its foliage in zephyr rush.
of coquette prettiness; it’s blush.
Under God’s eye, unseen choir brings
a lofty cheeriness with wings,
a maypole merriment of tweets,
its honey biz of plaited beats....

Faerie dust is finer than stardust
Glitzier than rainbow sprinkles
More joyful than moondust

I never knew until tonight
But here she is, being poured out
By a gorgeous night faerie

I am amazed and enthralled
Enraptured by her prettiness
Faerie dust enhances my dreams...

Unflown inside her own prettiness 
from ground deep, filled with me
lasting touches of feathered beats
heart broken on torn.worn silken sheets

Her lips stain, fresh born in paste
dressed in red petals and icy thorns
silent kisses strained my empty soul
for her scent I have never known...

Delicate Dainty December Faerie whirled in with the first snow.
She is a beauty! The woods said, smiling at her prettiness.
She is gorgeous! Agreed the flakes, twirling happily in her presence.
She is a marvel! Stated the icicles that accompanied.
But a tiny bit stuck up added the only honest one in the bunch....

Bumblebee with a yellow face,
From my painting, you delight me.
Bumblebee, do you know your place?
Your cute prettiness excites me.

I believe I will copy your shape, my friend.
It was my idea in the first place after all.
I’ll make a larger bumble bee from end to end.
I may fill up the entire kitchen wall....

Paisley prettiness, navy and ivory,
A cocksure purse hangs from my shoulder.
Vera Bradley, oh how I love thee.
Gifted me, ten past jubilee older.
Mine little quilt, behold her.

Inspiration…the Streets

All boys could decide everyday fashions go hodgepodge.
Individuality jumbled, kinky leaking mishmashes…never!
Obsolete prettiness quietly relieves stagnation, throughout.
Unending variation wins; “Xanadu” yells zestfully. 
And amid the fashion conflict, designers watch the streets.

portal to autumn’s brilliance
promenade of boulevard
crimson, pumpkin, lemon trees
balls of leaves

mynah sings her songs
hidden among the maples
trills of songbirds revive
respectable meditation place

nothing more zen than nature
autumn shows off her prettiness
morels leaning against moss
violets eager to show the way

painted by the ultimate artist
I lean into it and smile...
