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 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“

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”
My Blue Friend
That shiny, royal blue, ’92 Toyota Tercel Fresh off the car lot Gave me many years of freedom. She and I went into the belly of the USA With just a map and gas. Many nights I rested In her cramped front seats: My home when I couldn’t go home. There were rules about comingsContinue reading “My Blue Friend”
Line Up At London Drugs
I’ve got what I came for: Cover-up, cat food, and My weekly mags. Now, Which line to choose? Tills 2 and 6 are open. It would be smart To go to the smallest line up But then, I look at till 2 And the first person has Fifty or sixty Tid-biddly little things To ringContinue reading “Line Up At London Drugs”
Endless Universe
The galaxy looks milky when seen through A high-powered telescope from earth’s sphere. The particles spinning out in our space Are a cloud of dust and materials. These are created from exploding stars Pipping, and popping into existence. Asteroids and shooting stars zoom around Colliding with other heavenly bodies. The planets have little moons orbiting,Continue reading “Endless Universe”
