In consideration
for all the work it has done,
I’ve decided to give
the vacuum cleaner a rest.

Melodic Mix
An afternoon of
raindrops and bright falling leaves –
autumn rhapsody.

Come As You Are
A poem accepts
a heart that’s empty,
a heart that’s full,
that which pushes,
that which pulls,
a lot of words,
or just a few.
A poem opens itself to you.

Sometimes I wonder
why I try. The sky doesn’t,
yet it holds so much.

Worth Pondering

leave behind?

( In memory of Elijah Cummings,
a statesman who walked the talk )
Soaked
A minor inconvenience
for some of us,
but parched flowers,
shrubs and trees,
( and even those
we call weeds )
drink deeply today
from Nature’s
rain-filled cup.

Heady Matters
Clinging to nothing,
she moved effortlessly
through time and circumstance
until she was snagged
by a thorny thought.
