Wilder and Wilder Dancing
Frenzied, melodic tunes are playing, in the lime green forests,
In whistles, croaks and chirping, where jade growth is lawless,
And nature is humming and dancing, all over the azure world-
Then colors dance on even skies, where sunset lately swirled.
Stars and moon gaze all nighttime, at the never ending ballet,
With its sudden leaps and easy jumps, while

Wilder Places
swooping screeching gulls
above crashing roar of waves
fiery red fox streaks
painted lady flies
new colors in once green halls
in the age of fall
blue frogs go leaping
and puddles make a big splash
wind whistles a tune
rich flowers on gold
a festival of colors
in tangled lime fields

My Childhood Playmate
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Her writing was milder.
She lived in the backwoods
Where they made canned goods.
Laura wrote her children’s series
Little houses were full of theories
Her name became famed
She was just what she claimed
I’m sure she knew many other dearies
I read most every Little house book
It was long before there was a nook
I longed to go back to

To Laura Ingalls Wilder
To Laura Ingalls Wilder
Your stories were simple
Heart-warming and merry
You told us of events that occurred on the prairie
Your Pa was the strong one
Your sisters were kind
Although one was fated
To become fully blind
Your Ma was an icon for everything pure
And there wasn’t anything her love couldn’t cure
You told us of hardships
And downfalls and pain
But no one

With a Wilder Mind
I'm watching with a thousand eyes,
For a heart that's so free of lies,
I'm waiting with a wilder mind,
For a spirit of the same kind.

Wilder Still the Wind
Wilder still the wind
A storm fools mentality
As it rages on within
Pretense of youth
Stretched all too thin
Untamed oats
Ne'er think much of sin
As it wails
Against such tender hearts
Of love
Amidst true, true friends
Wilder still the wind
Only ends, when
The conscience kills it dead

Please Realize; a Reply To Dillusion By Jeri-Anne Wilder
You know that he's fake
You know it's not real
When he's next to you
Love can't be what you feel
The lies may seem real
Because you want them to be true
You make yourself believe
But your trust is being used
You know he's not all yours
You know of at least one someone else
You have someone else to blame
Please stop blaming
