Tired of little
hints and nudges, my body
claimed its right to scream.

Tea Time With Murphy
She watches the cup
rise to my lips and studies
the falling rain with
equal interest. Murphy is
a connoisseur of moments.

My Grandson’s Shining Light
Joy lights up her face
and illuminates the night.
Moon and stars rejoice.

Happy Earth Day!
I wanted to share with you Mitch Teemley’s Earth Day thought.
Here’s a thought:
This year for Earth Day,
instead of giving our planet a Present
Let’s give it a Future
Coloring Outside The Lines
Past resentments fade
and current irritations
vanish as I step
outside. A field of tiny
buttercups colors my view.

Still We Try
The solidity
of nouns, the fluidity
of verbs reflect a
mystery words can only
approach but never capture.

Grandmotherly Advice
You have a bad rep,
sweet dandelion. You should
not make yourself so
available. Playing hard
to get is a better bet.
