magnificent bird
beautiful color ballet
blue and gold macaw
three feet of regal splender
ask and it may tell you so

Created with love and happyness, a child grows.
Like the smile upon my face.
The Mother in which she rests and dreams, is the light, and warmth to all around 
her.
How can one not blossom to splender under such a woman as she....

Through the sea of timeless beauty
swaying heads of flaxen gold
whispered kiss of prairie breezes
under globes of blue bird oceans
sailing ships are floating fleeces
in this vast and timeless world
lie me down neath Apollo's splender
let me warm my troubled soul.....

The wind tosses carelessly with ease,
The falling autumn leaf,
Gliding in the breeze.

Twisting and turning
Without a care,
While people watch and stare.

It sees their curious eyes,
As it reflects off the glass.
What a splender to see it says,
As it gently lands,
Caressing the grass....

Natures mozaic masterpiece in multicolored splender.
A rippling change of dancing light the river bottom renders.
The heart does soar from what life implores.
Beauty like this could never come from a store.

The world goes round without a thought.
But beauty like this needs to be caught.
A simple stone and all it's friends.
May natures moziac masterpiece never end.

This is for Rick Parise's Stones contest....

O the agonies of love!
Such glorious storms of rapture and despair
How I palpitate at the power of loves splender
and swoon under the tenderness of loves touch
O what joy and sweet surrender…….
I am filled with ceaseless longing
Only for love to turn and rend my heart in two
and plunge me helplessly tumbling
 into the very depths of despair!
But love rises from the smoldering embers
of my pain and rekindles once again love’s  tender flame...

This time of year
a good time for a drive.
Seeing the splender 
and beauty
of this time of year.
Weaving down country 
roads trees in splender
such vibrant color .
Leaves in orange
and yellow and red.
Sweet smell in the air
with the cool breeze .
Animals all disquised 
with the wide array 
of colors on the floor.
Leaves floating from above 
settling on the creek all a flow.
Walking along the trails
there's crunching under foot
from the leaves so far above....
