My lilies, bruised and holey

Their leaves a tattered mess …

Blame the lily-beetles,

Those devils in a red dress.

Soft warmth you bestow
Watching the game or a show

Restored

And when the sun rose
It swept away the darkness
Erased the nightmares
Renewed me with warmth
Restored my tattered spirit

The Weeping Willow

it looks like an old she
a witch maybe
her clothes 
tattered
look like thin reed threads
hanging down
all around
her frail bent body

Holding On Is the Right Thing

Today,
When Waking,
The Realization Again   
Overwhelmed. 
The Bond
Is not Lost.
It
Remains, Now
Changed, Not Tattered,
Alive.

Autumnal Sadness

Swallows migrate South...
dark birds in a starless sky
mourning motherland.

Patsy was tattered and torn
Her clothes were all dirty and worn
She was a mess
In her threadless dress
People looked at her in scorn

Tattered, cracked and worn,
Shoes waiting for adventure
Sing to tiny feet.

carefully folded
she scrubs floors with tattered rags ~
sandalwood smolders

slave to his passions ~ 
beneath her silken sari
burning hatred grows

sweet breezes lifted her
harsh winds have tattered her
cold earth defended her.

  So many ways for thieves to nab

A wallet, a purse, or a tattered billfold ~
  Pity, this cashless age they only catch cold
