Blue Moon
Blue Moon, You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue Moon, You knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper, 'Please adore me'…

So soft
So soft light grey, rainy day long pants, long sleeves a sweater, an umbrella! smoke scent, so cozy white sky Fall it all feels like home

Cricket decorated for pie.
“Play me a song” came out of my mouth up to a single blade of grass I was the insect. Some music is mine some isn’t. Tiny chimes barely can move my ears yet I am shakin with messages. Green fields run far as a universe to me while giant salamanders play guitars and mountain music. Here acoustics are drinkable waterfalls…

party animal
sunset as we do though the nights get fuller moon days are (seven) nights outnumbered as all time rips through the neck like sun on the pavement, porch & prod, lookup where'd it go? when faced with the familiar smell of dirt identify -- if that were the last to go, the first to come home would be to remember the smallest…

Iambic Pentameter Couplets (rhyming and non-rhyming)
I step into autumn showers prepared wearing bright and glassy hanging earrings.

very different doormats
I took my shoes off, On the pavement Baring my soles. Fat chalk in pretty pale colors Flaked off on our finger tips. You scrawled a message, And I pasteled a portrait, Shading our meaning, All over the ground. It was a smiley face. It said, He + She = We. You teach math; That’s a simple sentence. I said, like simon who…

never argue with a fool
Great minds talk about ideas, Average minds talk about things, Small minds talk about other people. --Unknown Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs. --Pearl Strachan Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on…

Thank You PJ Fan Club
Pearl Jam Fan Club you are the best! I got camp cups!? Is this a test?! Did I order and forget? Is Alzheimer’s out to get me? Am I caught in a net? Is someone missing their mugs of late? Did you ship them both out by mistake? Oh in reality you are just great! Do I send them back? Dare I claim my bag tags instead? Such a…

Living in the wilderness
Out in the wilderness a woman can smile on the way home seeing some deer in the fields what time is it? they’re out! (7:15 must be a good time to eat) Out in the wilderness I can feel the joy of loving my neighbors: horses, cows, rattling tree dwellers there’s the joy of seeing gentle life the joy of being almost home…

Insults to Injuries
For all the wrong reasons, I said yes to you. I lied to myself, But you lied to me too. You painted the picture, I wanted to see. The colors soon faded, Insults and injuries. So many years wasted, Living this lie. I'm so tired of sitting idle, As life passes by. So much for the picture, You painted for me, I made a…

9-11 Never Forget- a memorial to heroes
I was due to fly that horrific morning, and of course ended up having the skies silent for nearly a week. The shock and horror of that day will Never be Forgotten. That day opened a gaping hole in my heart for the victims and their families. I proceeded to write ~92 poems re to 9-11...here is the first.....I borrowed the…

Lives and Dreaming Minds
Lives and dreaming minds I woke up this morning with an insight that is worth examining: The people we keep close influence the course of our lives. (for good or bad) I know the idea seems mundane, but it’s more than that! the people we bring close create an environment of “normal” that creates a road our lives are lived…

do not gently go like that
no more gentler visions promises left in the dark here are gone fortunate seas left tumultuous swarm anything beautiful you'd stare at spaces left between spaces fill (there are) no more gentler visions here but still candles blown out by whispers candles laying down when they die gyrating beautiful flowers would if they…

My friend passed away a few weeks ago....poem I wrote
I found out on August 27th that my friend of nearly 23 years had passed away unexpectedly a few days prior, most likely due to an aneurysm (autopsy not finished yet). His service was yesterday (and internment will be next Tuesday). I recited this poem... "12a" I see a silhouette of trees as I go for a drive Late August and…
