A beautiful, warm day, sunny and bright
at the end of
December?
Winter
weeps.

Marking Time
The
swinging
pendulum,
the rhythm of
passing moments, the oh-so fleeting now.

In Unlikely Times And Places
May I see delight. May I see de light?
Unintended
word play brings
forth a
grin.

Magic Moments
A vibrant assortment of butterflies
flit and flirt in
shimmering
summer

Off To A Shaky Start
I have met the enemy and, indeed,
the enemy
is me. I
asked if
she
could
spare a
moment for
us to sit and
chat. She looked me in the eye and said, “A
moment? This’ll
take way more
time than
that.”

On The 7th Day
On the seventh day I discover there’s
poetry in
practice as
well as
grit.

Mountains of Needed Change
It’s
easy
to be stopped
by magnitude
unless we first adjust our attitude.

Wind’s Way
As
I sit
among these
trees, listening
to the wind, I see how it affects each
trunk, each branch, each leaf differently and sense
there’s a teaching
here in wind’s
way with
trees.

School’s Out Snow Poetry In Multiple Forms
Darn, darn, darn, darn, darn.
Darn, darn, darn, darn, darn, darn, darn,
darn, and double darn.
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
#!#!, #!#!, #!#!, #!#!, #!#!, #!#!, #!#

Too cold to stay outside for long.
Too boring just
to watch t.v.
Picking on each
other is ok for a time
til someone goes
a bit too far.
Then the loud calls
for me to referee begin.
Kids and snow – one
or the other
just has to go.

Natural Guidance
Even amidst the early morning haze,
those golden blooms
light my way,
bring me
home.
From
that place
I start my
day, knowing I’ll
find a way to be with whatever comes.
