First Cuppa in Morn, Steaming

...
The air slowly fills
with curly pungent wafts of steam
billowing up from a 
hot freshly brewed cup of coffee.
Raising the baton to 
conduct the dawn chorus 
of bird songs and plans 
mulled t...

Nightscape

...Like tufts of cotton colored red and rosy
And scattered through the baby sky at light
Eve’, twilight clouds are whirling around the white
moon, orbiting their spoke, all lush and lazy;

Or stran...

Love Twice Tossed

...

We had been up, down and sideways with lonely nights and 
solitary days.  We had seen total darkness dispensed from our 
fights.  Our heads began believing our wrongs could not discover 
our r...

Tears Of A Clown

...Against a willowy wailing backdrop of inner chaos,
an indignant incendiary mask stifles the simmering cauldrons,
of a stoic stage clown post lachrymose performance wearily stunning yet stung,
or t...

Trials of the Sea

...A scenic blue are ocean’s crested waves
with tufts of white that spill in feathered sprays
amidst the troughs and valleys of the sea.
Will time or tempest bring God back to me?
 
Horizons hold n...

Overrun by stuffed subdued teddy bears

...Overrun by stuffed subdued teddy bears...

of diverse and sundry sizes engaged 
in woebegone wild rumpus
as a last hoorah 
for diversity, equity and inclusion,
whose somber bowed heads
(hide t...

As The Last Petal Falls

...I recline with my cherry tree musings…

a fount of blossoms  cherub cheek colored
rise and curve from the ground 
up into a heaven-and-cloud scene  
to spread in splendor  a festoon of blooms 
...

Soft Clouds

...Soft clouds, like swans gliding on the lake,
Like my grandma spinning threads so fine to make.
Though you drift back and forth across the sky,
Don’t tease us like a mouse with a cat nearby.

Strayed Sheep - William Holman Hunt

...
Straying away from the straight path
in search of sumptuous grass, 
Me and my friends meander to the mountain top
on a crisp clear sunny day, 
The cottony white clouds mirror our soft tufts...

Poets Declare Life's Fragility

..."How fragile is life in nature's forceful wind..."
Dylan Thomas wrote of October gales
and their harsh, buffeting fingers. 
He called them an "autumnal spell."

or gray that doesn't grab the eye
and distract from the more deserving
stuff like trees, sweeping ocean views
and mo...

Her Fur and Her

...Her fur used to fly.
She used to fly.
From the floor to the couch.
Once she settled- 
We’d brush.
For years, it was full and youthful.
Then it was falling out in tufts,
So we’d brush more gent...

Dandelions

...Many lawns are dotted 
With these yellow tufts of gold
And all my life, “They’re ugly weeds!”
Is what I have been told.

Yet dandelions add some pop
Of color to the green
And though they are i...

Whisper

...The balmy breeze wafted over the prairie,
Where yellow cowslips huddled in patches.
And here and there I heard a whisper echoing:
