Perennially, like the angels, bloom with a bright smile
Like the sun, radiant with perpetual light and life
Ever youthful, and like the goddess Dyana, fruitful
How slimly and sternly you are held by a green stem fife!
Like the primrose or Auricula, bright yellow or pink
Cuter than Primulas, Polyanthuses, and Pansies
Of course, not like the touch-me-not! Night and day, yet you blink.
Your smile and scent are beyond all fashion-showy fancies.
it's, yet, your spiritual greatness that pulls me to you.
Cosmically healing all and triggering optimism
You heal, they say, and restore any person to youth too.
Does, in your shade or fade, anyone find true pessimism?
Do you, dear, yet live devoid of existential crisis?
I know it's in overcoming these that you find your bliss.

Sundrops dapple umbrageous trees
strewing uncut diamonds, littering the path
with ambient flickers of what lies beyond.
Sundrops freckle ocean's surface
accenting the ripples that pattern the waves,
nuzzling playful kisses toward the warm beach.
Sundrops seduce the wayward wind
pirouetting with the aphids blissful dance,
a frenzied tarantella across my lips.

A collaborative poem by:
°Chelsea Marie StufLeben
& my 9 year old daughter,
• Claire Christine Maki
•A dark stormy day,
With the city at Bay.
°Way off in the distance,
was a luminant ray.
•While the city was dark,
the people would say
•It was not a good day,
for the clouds to be grey.
°Why oh why,
won't the clouds go away?
°•Will we ever see Sun,
or its bright gleeful day?
•Oh look! Said a man,
On the streets of his town.
•°As he saw the clouds fade,
And the sun was now found.
°But even more brilliant,
The raindrops now glistened.
°•They'd turned to sundrops,
the town pridefully listened.
•To the birds as they chirped,
Far off in the distance.
•°They soaked in the sun,
In it's vitalized essence.
•So now that they bathed,
In the light of the Sun.
•their hearts were all full,
Joy had filled everyone.

Let’s spread our wings with our love
Fly through beautiful, infinite places
Leave kisses in the sky, to float with clouds
Then permeate through the drifting gray
With colorful pigmentation from our hearts
Then, rest in the Sundrops blooming on the ground
- Simultaneously -
In each other’s arms, amid bright yellow petals
In brief respite, before we fly again...and again

The elegance of a duck gliding over the still pond....poetry in motion.
Down here the serenity of this afternoon of May
suddenly shattered by a busy kingfisher,
it swoops down to water for day's last prey
sending ripples in the still pond water
and then vanishes in the hushness of dying day.
The Spring comes alive
as a cuckoo starts singing
last song of the day,
its beseeching tone echoes
in my mind and in nature.
Wings of migratory birds in sky
stealing Sundrops for a new dawn.
