An Easter Ditty

Brightly colored, named and set aside, For Easter bunny pranks and searching fun, Each year the giggling chorus starts outside, Cacophony of happiness, boys undone. I spy with my sharp eye an aqua orb, Nestled on a tree trunk, perched just so, I’ll leave… Continue Reading “An Easter Ditty”

Textures

Velvet moss-cushion, ‘Tween reed grass and lagoon spray, Rocky Egret shores.

Time After Time

Images conflate, though tossed and torn, Long since forgotten, left on hooks, Wrenched away from neural nooks of memory, hanging bare, forlorn. Which rested dormant through the years, Outliving weddings, day-to-days of married bliss, They hid, obscured, through nights and years of tears, Outliving schooldays,… Continue Reading “Time After Time”

Happy “Birth” Day

“Winter seemed reluctant to release its hold”, and yet his sister, Spring, crept near, A quickening within, imbued a calming peace, I teetered on the brink; embraced my fear. Months of wafting breezes through the sheers, Unfolding rainbows, blinking on the billows, Nestled soft… Continue Reading “Happy “Birth” Day”

Legacy of Love

My baby girl is mother of two sons, They lean on her and she depends on them, They give her strength, and warmth, and days of inner calm, She gives them all she is and will become, My baby girl is mother of two… Continue Reading “Legacy of Love”

A Parent’s Prayer

On this balmy April night, As bloodmoon rises silent, ‘Cross the gauzy, purple heavens, On this balmy, April night, I breathe a silent, fervent prayer, of thanksgiving, For God’s greatest gifts.  

Possibilities

Launch each day anew, Treasure true precious moments, Manna from heaven.

Perfect Percussion

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat Red-headed woodpecker drums Spring’s percussive pace.

Glorious

  Window box sun rays, Diffract, reflect, predict Hope, Life for the taking.

Sawgrass

Windswept clarity, Dunes caressed by sawgrass blades, Shelter on the beach.  

Treasure Trove

My eyes are dazzled by the glinting sun, Sparkling on the hulls of seashell casts, Unique as crystal snowflakes, each is one, From depths beyond and ages long since past. The gulls have salvaged living prey, amassed, Leaving only sharps where once was life,… Continue Reading “Treasure Trove”

Lucid Dreams

🌲🌲🌲 He’s entering the woods as oft before, And still his heart is thumping, resolute, This path has been the backdrop to his more lucid revelations, thoughts astute. The crunch of long-dropped pine cones underfoot, Reminds him, well, that feral denizens, inhabit near, ‘neath torn-asunder… Continue Reading “Lucid Dreams”
