strong and sweet,
unassuming.

fatal attraction is loony toon
feline holds on tight
claws with all his might

I have to squint to see them
the swans are unassuming, and delicate

Taking me to starlit nights

Helps me recall Brooklyn Bridge at sunset

Appearing calm to others
Saving my wise ways for later

the morning’s hour,

The editor said, motioning toward 
an unassuming, flat-black, painted door

she unveiled her unique talents little by little
one at a time, quietly, without fanfare
expecting no special attention or recognition

my neophobia as always 
perched and ready 
against cherries, berries
this stronghold of flavors
wrapped by a heart 
that could block the sun

Refreshment for the weary
Anxiety blown
Walking swiftly, windswept hair
Wonderful, free of worry.

Don't stay in the past.  Come on out here. 
It's me at last....
