Dandelion Dreams
‘A life well-lived’ she ponders: “What’s the meaning?” As days and seasons waterfall, cascade, And misdeeds from an ancient past remind, Becoming shard-like, sharp, (though memory fades). It seems so long ago, when they were younger, When blinded eyes ignored the rose-tint shade, As… Continue Reading “Dandelion Dreams”
“Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry”
*** As I peruse my vacation photos from last year I pause at this one, the personification of this week’s Photo Friday theme: SUNLIGHT. Anticipation, mixed with a healthy dose of nostalgia, overwhelms me, as I know our first-floor, lagoon-view, room has been forever… Continue Reading ““Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry””
The Winding Path
“When did you know you were lost?” he asked (so wise), Since he’d been there and back, a long time yore he’d gone too far astray, his sad demise lay fossil-like: a starfish washed ashore. His journey was circuitous, yet sure of his intent, he… Continue Reading “The Winding Path”
Green Dream-scapes
The Lushness of the Polynesian Resort exemplifies the theme “Green”, despite the fact that this scene is gone forever, replaced by new Vacation Club Villas.

Summertime (Photo Friday: Simplicity)
***** Lazy, languid morn, Dampened, sparkling blades of green A dogs life… indeed! ***** I marvel at the calm serenity I feel on viewing this photo – a simple snapshot of my Cavie’s first trip to the back yard on this dew-dampened morning.… Continue Reading “Summertime (Photo Friday: Simplicity)”
Extra! Extra!
Extra, Extra This was written for the Weekly Photo Challenge: A beautiful photo is one thing, but a photo with an unexpected detail has personality and pop. This week, share a photo that has a little something extra. My lens at the ready to… Continue Reading “Extra! Extra!”
Clouds at my Feet (Photo Friday: Sky)

My Father’s Garden
It was the antithesis of his back-breaking days and skin-cracked nights. After a workday of job-site floors and walls, back-splashes and hearths – unique patterns, lovingly placed, grouted, washed and polished; he’d grab a beer and head out back. Raising a plucked “Better Boy”… Continue Reading “My Father’s Garden”
Room: No Vacancy
No Vacancy They cluster as they always have before, While hidden in the bramble bush I spy, Awaiting welcome sign that beckons, sure I’ll fly to join the flock before they hie. As sun descends, the evening set is nigh, While shadows, long, obscure… Continue Reading “Room: No Vacancy”
