Comfort… Of my slippers… Of a cup of hot chocolate… Of a crackling fireplace… Of the decorated Xmas tree… Of the blanket of snow… Of carolers singing… Of warm woolly mittens… Of your company… Of memories of years… The comforts of my soul. This poem says it all. Comfort… Where do we find it? ItContinue reading “Comfort”

Poem to Music
If this poem was set to music Would you be enthusiastic, Or would it be a one-hit-wonder Full of thunder But no follow thru From anything new? I try to make it special Instead of dreadful, But the public is fickle, It puts me in a pickle As I try to entertain And not toContinue reading “Poem to Music“
Why Wait?
Why wait for the sun to shine? Why wait for the ice to melt? The world still turns on its axis, The water still flows in its bed. The more you wait on the edge of a cliff, The more your strength of will grows. When rivers and planets Flow and spin in their space,Continue reading “Why Wait?”
Nite’s Shadow
A scraggly branch Is silhouetted Against the face Of the full moon. Sitting regally still On the tree’s limb Is a shadow. Great saucer eyes Watch the land beneath, Patiently waiting For the night’s dinner To scurry by. As the shadow Spreads giant feathered wings And quietly coasts Through the evening air, The ground belowContinue reading “Nite’s Shadow“
Moon Magic
The radiance of the full moon Makes me swoon And sway Throughout the day. What a pretty sight That just might See vows sworn Until past the morn. Hours of the moon’s glow Can make things just so, A big heart That’s too smart, That feels real And does appeal To the mind’s eye ToContinue reading “Moon Magic“
Life’s Strife
The pressures of life Can have a lot of strife That pulls at the edges, And waits on ledges At the height of tall skyscrapers, That seems like Spiderman capers Seen on TV That scare me Into compliance With an alliance Of a trusted friend. Hope its not the end And that we can bendContinue reading “Life’s Strife“
Facing the day
Facing the day With a brave way Is inspiring to us That witness The strength of your stance As you choose to dance To the strummer Of a new drummer. I wish I could see The power of we As into the future Is the mindful cure Of all the troubles That infect our bubblesContinue reading “Facing the day“
Never Give Up
Never give up Although things seem bleak, Trust in your truth It will see you through the week. To new times and faces In many different places, As the world waits To meet and greet The dawn’s new day And the moon’s nighttime graces. May adventure overtake you And put you at peace, From stressesContinue reading “Never Give Up”
The Race
The horses are all standing at the gate Pawing and snorting as they wait For the bell to ring So they can take wing And make their way around the track, Neck and neck on the way back. Excitement ripples thru the crowd As the favorite is announced aloud. “It’s a photo finish! Cash yourContinue reading “The Race”
The Inspiration of Creation
Poetry is the inspiration Of different colors of creation, That blends and swirls Into little curls Of painted spots Of which there are lots. Words and pictures Cast similar lures With images caught With every thought, And songs of rhythm Bring much precision With a four-quarter beat That really moves the feet. Poetry, like bothContinue reading “The Inspiration of Creation”
