yellow, limber dandelion
briefly meet on common ground.

Interestingly Enough
Knox doesn’t share my
interest in poetry. I
don’t share his interest
in sticks, but somehow we share
an interest in each other.

Long And Short Of It
A long drive
is much shorter
when shared with
a long-time friend.

and breathe out gratitude.

A Reunion Long Delayed
For most of my life,
my mind and body have not

and we all feel more complete.

I struggle to find
a way through the wilderness
of words to the home
where poetry resides. There
I’ll dine on meter and rhyme.

Need A Chrystal Ball

Listen
Listen.
Do you hear it?
Something is knocking
at your heart’s door.
Open the door wide.
Stand still.
Invite the knocker in.
It has something to say.
Listen.
