I sat there for hours

Sprawled out on a carpet of green

Searching for a four leaf clover

NO LUCK!

Mothers cry for fallen sons
The war is over they say
If Congress sent their young ones
Our troops would be home today

Daisies

Millions of them!

Singing in the meadow

Smiling at the gentle breeze

Jubilant giggles at the site of passing butterflies

you have it right,
it is in sync,
speak of the light,
without a blink,
comes paradise,
Father Son & Holy Ghost,
have cause for some to drink.
don't ya know it?

Trees like friends are always around

They allow me to nestle beneath their shade

When it seems like good friends can never be found

I counted twenty-something tree friends I’ve already made!

Political debates wait

Toasted Italian bread. Yum!
I love tuna, but
today - beef and provolone,
mayo, onions, greens. . . .
I open my mouth

Foot!

On the road in hungry mode, 
Golden arches call! 
Stomach immensely howling, 
“Big Mac” has attacked.
Hamburger and cheese 
Zingy sauce to please, 
Gulp it down!
Plump!

Since I was three my mum served me coffee

I was her first child so she was merely experimenting

I bounced to and fro and spoke faster than she

By the time I was four she switched me to decaffeinated tea!

Tacos are fine when wrapped tight
top with all the extras
onions, lettuce and some cheese
served with love 
It is the kind of snack 
I want to 
taste!

*The Smiling Sunflower*

The petals of each flower frame the perfect smile

Long cylindrical petals curling up next to each other

Look how sweet and tender my sunflower is

Standing next to hundreds of others rising to the occasion

Of my coming sun

Caterpillars creeping and crawling

Along the forest floor

Seeking hidden treasures from 

Centuries before

Covered in extravagant velvety moss

And beneath earthen engraved rocks

Hidden treasures galore!

Forgiveness is a tonic

A most powerful potion

It goes down ever so smoothly 

It tickles my tummy

A surprise in the middle of a turbulent hot day

The cure for what ails my scorched heart

Forgiveness goes down the hatchet and just hits the spot!

Chicken, get back; don’t peck me
For the cleaver in my hand
Just think, could be, soon chopping thee.
Dinner captured, cleaned and panned.

He should have gifted something else
the gifts brought her an instant fame
as she saved those on her 'blue dress',

and home-style stuffing
which cradle creamy gravy.
