My eyes deceive me
Feathers dancing in the grass
With brown eyed tiger
...
Tiger baths his wounds
Cold water soothes like medicine
He will fight again
...
Time
Lets man repent
For untold sins,
Enables some to forget,
...
cloud safari chase
chariots in rainbow dreams
sun plays hide and seek
...
There are no majestic mountains
To frame her graces,
No rolling hills or water falls,
Yet how grand her splendor.
...
Flash of a rainbow
Glows at foot of waterfall
Spilling and trilling
...
Snow blankets on pond
Your absence all too present
Joy of snow days gone
...
Dogwood colors change
branches spread, red leaves dance
October shimmers
...
I begged to wear my starched,
Dotted swiss in lilac, with white raised polka dots.
Being a princess, my daddy said, so you see, I wore satin ribbons
In my Shirley Temple curls, which all little girls
...
as fall day closes
a chill wraps around painted
woods, the moon keeps watch
...
