Elegance of form is there to disguise,
The art of concealing myself in your eyes,
And clothing myself in the words of a queen,
And stealing the secrets of smiles unseen....

My tiara has powers 
but I just use them for good;
Protecting the people I can 
out of sight sitting pretty;
Mystic personality  
umbrella of the cosmos,
spreading the joy of royal....

The Ones Sitting Pretty

Many poems are like butterflies to me.
Some are beautiful but elusive.
I can’t catch them!  I much prefer
the ones sitting pretty on
the leaves inside my book.
Fluttering delight,
translucent ones
can make me
catch my
breath!

The pumpkins
    The pumpkins
         The pumpkins all are gone.
Where did all the lovely pumpkins go?
I saw them just a month ago 
outside the grocery store-
so round and sitting pretty in a row.

Potatoes
     Potatoes
           Potato sales are on
the sweet, the brown, and every type we know.
Now trickling down from Idaho
to us are spuds galore.
When pumpkins disappear, potatoes flow!...

Dancing with the sunbeams deep sea reflections 
so beautiful adoring on cloud nine sitting pretty 
upon golden sands shifting salt of the ocean turns 

Each wave a blessing in disguise 
standing regal one moment in time 
looking back captivating starlight was born 

Mirrors mist over arched jewels colour radiance 
fixing thoughts on an image beholding your word 
no diamond ever cut comes close to you...

Sitting Pretty 


when you're not looking

do you consider me 

what i'm thinking

why i stay

away 

did you know that i do

your 

not mine

and i'm a nobody's girl

suffocated

by those who were looking at me looking back at them

willing then

took their kill

i stay away

even when you are looking

especially then

been bled out

i'm just a shadow of my former self

sitting pretty someplace else

‘‘Nature calls the shots,”
Said the raindrop sitting pretty
Next to the russet leaf
Dangling like a trapeze dancer
“I would love to see you dance,”
Said the raindrop to the leaf
The leaf refused politely and said
“I would love to see you shed that
tear for me before I dance and fall,”
The wind was passing by and overheard
Their conversation and caressed them both
As they fell together watching each other
Both fulfilling each other’s dying note!

I hear the music of high and low tides
The cheers as the sea bursts in clapping waves
High it is, as the sea has reached its aim
Its heart for so long drawn to the coastline
Sitting pretty under moonlit skyline.

And even when the sea is at low tide
Hear its cheering continue on faintly
Like the sounds of distant drumbeats, waiting
Its surface sparkling bright in the sunlight
The shore captivated in tides of delight.
