Father Traits
Many fathers have been endowed with good traits.
They help to build strong families and communities.
I have considered ten attributes worthy of note,
taken from the Biblical story of the prodigal son.
1. Good fathers are understanding
2. Good fathers are accommodating
3. Good fathers are not controlling
4. Good farmers overflow with wisdom

An Ode To My Three Strong Traits
I needed someone in whom I could trust
to let me know of my three strongest suits.
I asked my daughter; instantly she gave
a quick summation of my attributes.
The first she named (my easy-going ways)
I had not quite expected, but in her view
since I’m rarely ruffled, I am at ease.
The more I think about it, that’s

A Trilogy of Traits
Joyful spirit, bright and bold,
Outstanding tales yet to unfold,
Sunlight's warmth, a story told.
Elegant grace, a gentle sway,
Poetry's dance in bright display,
Harmony's song to light the way.
Inner strength, a radiant gleam,
Nurturing dreams, a flowing stream,
Eternal hope, a vibrant theme.

spaghetti
I dreamed my way here
I’ve had my cringe moments
I feel pressure, I lose perspective
I’ve wholeheartedly failed
I misspeak, underthink, overreact
I try to do the right thing
the right thing isn’t always clear
I’ve tried to hold on
I’ve let go with grace
I’ve charged ahead
I’ve stepped aside
I self-sabotage, then try to do better
I’ve self-consciously retreated
I’ve stood up for others
I’ve backed

Character Traits
This soul is gentle, proud and true
I’ve veins of red and veins of blue
Red like flames that lick the air
Blue that hides, they’re unaware
The heart that worships and adores
Is the same that pulls away, ignores
I walk away by floorboard creak
Too shy to see them or to speak
But Saturdays I’m

Traits of My Character
Traits of my Character
I lie often and without thinking
I convinced myself I hate roses because most people love them
I give the stray cats outside the Mexican restaurant bits of my enchilada
I admire the French
I’m sitting on my bedroom's raggedy carpet wondering
What bits of my soul I could offer up

Character Traits
On my own terms my life I walk brave,
setting the course on the pathway I pave.
Nameless probing people uncalled, I descry
break the fence of protected privacy and pry,
ask incisive questions to slice my persona they try.
I don’t reply.
Their footprints I follow, they want with pride,
abandoning me for what I am on the wayside,
to exist as
