The branches bend & twist like fire Curl & sway, just like wind Wake up ev'ry morning, Look out the window- "Oi, there's a fire roaring out my door!" Fingers at my window; Don't know what I ought to do... Oh, it's an oak tree, growing to say hi to me; "Good morning to … Continue reading Funny Oak Trees

Meditation on Recycling
Throwing sticks into the fire, Watching them burn- Convert to air, Ash, Dust. Then you can make lye from the ashes- Ink from the charcoal. Puffy billows of smoke into your delicious jerky and the air we breathe. Crackling of water back into the ground, & whatever … Continue reading Meditation on Recycling
Dancing Light & Shadow
Shadows Rings on my binder- like fingers. Pencil on my paper- like a needle. Stationary movement borne of extra lamps & lights. Oh! Look- A dog out in the woods; but it's only a dark reflection.

The Odd Little Orchestra
Bird song on rainy days Where the little leaves sway in the rain Walking home on the quaint little bays It's like hearing the fairy bards play Quiet and peaceful, not quite harmonical The birdies twitter and play In the rain all the day Their throats an entire parade And in the rain It's like … Continue reading The Odd Little Orchestra
Tuning you in
Hi, I just felt the need to reach out and tell you what's been happening. I've been struggling to get some things done. I haven't been posting because all I have finished to post are old poems. (Been struggling with my short stories for one reason or another.) I'm still working through the quagmire of … Continue reading Tuning you in
