All-Star TeamYou will find them in the best dream,
in a green meadow or by a clear stream.
Among every pair, they reign supreme.
Sunshine and breeze make quite a team....

Stillbirth Memories of 1987Within my own axis,
It did not slant
It did not drizzle.
The void shunned the grey clouds.
Lightning was rare.
Thunder turned mute.
Leaf-tops shook with the sleepiness of
Shameless drunks, casting ghoulish shades,
Causing affrays among wild species.
Rivulets rippled in hunger and in thirst,
Circling firths with methodical anger and protests.
The grass blades lost their verdancy and cringed.
Within this place,
The air was...

The Lighter Side of Faith
The sun provides me light from without
My faith provides it from within
On days when no light shines on my skin
What’s within dispels any doubt...

Sunshine Invasionred heart of morning
guilty shadows fled like dreams
scattering moonbeams
Blue jay on green rose
caressed by gold creeping heat
petals and concrete
saffron veiled dancers
of every scent and color
city sun culture
pearly paths faded
plum day's grown a bit older
sunshine's grown bolder

Breakfast ThoughtsWould you like to have some coffee?
It's made out of the fresh beans of love,
And it's aroma is contagious as your breath,
Every sip sinks like the unsinkable Titanic.
But beware!
It might stain your unlovable pristine heart,
O sweetness, O goodness,
Don't drink coffee.
Would you like to have some french toast?
It's crispy, crusty and mellow amidst
Just like...

Curly haired girlShe loves to twirl and jump
expressing without a care
This is a girl that has big curly hair
her eyes filled with life, makes me want to hug her with all my might.
She can’t sit still, always has something to do
Using her imagination, how I wish I could look inside too.
She’s grown...

Floral Paths of SummerFlowery paths wildly intersect rich, late summer;
While beautiful flute music plays in green trees,
Amidst song so rife, without drumrolls of thunder.
In butterscotch ease, drift humming, honeybees.
While beautiful flute music plays in green trees;
The exotic blooms send pleasant fumes, far away.
In butterscotch ease, drift humming, honeybees;
With huge, tossed hibiscuses, in crimson disarray.
The exotic blooms send pleasant...

Kaleidoscopic SummerBright and beautiful day,
Glowing colours of light,
Outdoor beckons to us,
There’s fun until twilight,
Each day brings a newness,
This light leaves for the night.
July 15, 2025.
Some Kind of Kaleidoscopic Poetry Contest,

Summer's Glow
pleading petals play gently in the sun
whispering joy across the sticky skin
summertime blessings cannot be outdone
however, autumn is her next of kin
praying roses and melancholic buds
remembering our heart’s tender healing
hanging in timeless ache of fair redbuds
season’s bliss lifts shadows who’re concealing
promising the night stars, moon and fireflies
rousing such beauty the skies come to life
only God...

The shafts of light appear
A laser show on turf

Peach on the Rose POTDpeach is on the rose
since orange sun shines so bright
earth's bathed in warm light
redbirds are singing
of yellow saffron summer
near garden stunners
sapphires in the sky
vagrant clouds have gone missing
gold fields glistening
sunshine rose fragrance
colors and green everywhere
butterflies in air...
