June Ellen Smith Poem
On the stove, in the laundry, office,
Living room, spare bedroom and none
Of your bee's wax. Bear's bite.
Dogs bite fingers, finger licking good!
Grandma's cooking is! Grandpa grills
A mean steak and chicken, shishkbob
I marinate. Yum! Tuna, macoroni and
Cheese, salads, teas, coffees, sweet treats,
Turkey and ham, potatoes and stuffing,
Cranberry sauce, green beans, greens,
Glazed carrots and much more! At my door
Yellow tulips and red roses await your arrival. :-)

June Ellen Smith Poem
The dog bit while the bee was humming,
So I removed my shoes and took off my socks
In the slowly melting snow. Under a cool tree,
Cooling mud oozed up between my toes.
Talented fingers strummed a guitar as the park
Darkened. I moved on homeward while the sun
Set without regret. I cleaned my feet and slid
Soothingly into soft socks and sat in an old
Trusted rocking chair and silently rocked while
The black iron kettle warmed some cold stew.
As I lay down later, I heard crickets' legs lullabying.
Stomach was full, it was good the bee didn't sting.

June Ellen Smith Poem
Finally went to church today-Ash Wednesday
I went for company, communion and to pray
Liked the new people, what priest had to say
I really felt like I was forgiven for sins today
It used to be only God, hard to get Jesus into
My life and prayers, now it's bound like sinew
For money owed, no longer feel a need to sue
All's forgiven. Still talk to Bruce and sister Sue
Everytime attend church, learn something new
Everyday I pray alone, today was I born anew
I will go again, really enjoyed myself, the brew
Was wine in a silver cup with bread pieces new
Dipped into the wine and eaten with the others
Fellowship in God's love with sisters & brothers
Told female priest - many fathers and mothers
Baptized/confirmed Episcopalian and my mother
Sang in her Episcopal church, so sweet a voice
Larry dropped me off/picked me up, his choice
No singing, just prayer and sermon - REJOICE
When Jesus so returns - Will I hear his voice?
As I do every night, I will pray for redemption
I believe it will be later in the souls convention
I will see my beloved brother, parents, baby
I will go to Heaven all around us, just maybe

No harm being charming

June Ellen Smith Poem
Salty mistiness enters my head.
Nostrils take in. Waves crash!
Sting rays sting! Crabs scatter!
Sandcastles, built wet on dry sand.
Walking miles on water-lapped shore.
Caesar remains, constant companion.
Then man politely asked for my hand.
Next year, for my hand in matrimony.
Ah. Salty, misty, water-waves pull.
Floating out to horizon, swim back.
Suck in the sweet, ocean air retreat.
Summertime vacations, every August.
Gray, weathered house, long ago gone.
It provided shelter, bed to lay head.
Shish kabobs! Stone crabs from fishy,
Dead heads on string. Left turn, bay.

June Ellen Smith Poem
Scary dreams in the night
Scary spiders cause a fright
Scary hair in the morning dawn
Scary snakes in my grassy lawn
Scary spiders and snakes in dream
Certainly make one want to scream
Bite, fangs, bite and hairy legs too
Scary Chows with tongues of blue
Darkness of night, walking scary street
Heart pounds loudly and jumps a beat
Scary bears in the mighty wilderness
For God is with me, couldn't care less
For always He'll listen to my prayer
I'll go out and go to sleep if I dare
And dare I will for life is a thrill
And scary things to me won't kill
Me and I'll be free to see the world
Even a Scorpion's tail when it's curled
I will live without fear, without fright
Ouch! Bite! Scary things in the night

June Ellen Smith Poem
Chronos, ordinary time
Kairos for all eternity
Combine into eternal now
And Kingdom comes in time
Cruciform - history & eternity
To spend time, ask God how
Like putting on jeans
Can I put on Jesus
God heard me scream
And he put me on Jesus
Agape does not discriminate
Unconditional love won't escape
The key to open is God's agape
Time to wake up to God is great

June Ellen Smith Poem
Hands touch, carefully to find what
Needs fixing. A little cement mixing.
Husband, wives, kids picked cotton.
Long, hot days - long ago forgotten.
Hard, sharp shells. Spinning wheel.
Precision machine, squeaky wheel,
Making thread, into the soft cloth.
No bow-evils got in with the moth.
The stout women made lemonades.
We've all labored long - decades.
We will live to see our golden age.
Calm are the nights. No days rage.
There's a page telling our Savior,
We've been true for good behavior.

Mom - Beauty
Her voice sang on high, a sound
To reaching God's ear
