I'm folding laundry in the sun
My neighbor says, 'That looks like fun'
And soon she brings her laundry out
Then other neighbors come about
...
Your smile kills me
Stabs me like a knife
Darts from you like a laser
Straight into my soul
...
I see a young boy
eyes closed
fingertips searching
Pretending he knows not what he does.
...
Call me Rudbeckia
(Becky for short)
A black-eyed susan at night
Petals luminous
...
Come let us practice astral projection
We'll meet above the ocean
And waltz beneath the stars
...
A challenge was offered
A task of love
An exposure of self.
You accepted.
...
There once was a chick from Voorheesville
Who thought she might write with some small skill
She gave it a try,
Then her muse ran dry
...
Not opposite
But complementary
Night and day
are ill defined
...
Cars and trains
And boats and planes
Fossil rocks
Found in the rain
...
Where did the Columbines and Lupines go
The Alliums that stood so straight and neat
The raspberries with all their bright red glow
That children did consider such a treat?
...
