I was dancing with
“stubborn as a mule” when
“rooted in unshakable truth” cut in,
but when the music stopped
“willing to bend but not break”
gave me a final twirl.

Write On
Even if it is
just one word, if it’s the right
word – the word that leaves
you feeling energized – you
know you’ll cross the finish line.

Ephemeral Moments
Buttercups blooming
by the road,
Kenny Rogers
on the radio –
simple pleasures
of an ordinary life

Spring Warm-up
While wisteria
weeps purple joy, tiny wrens
fill the woods with song.

No Sense
If we looked beyond
our no’s, maybe we would see
a bigger picture.

April In Virginia
Buttercups scattered
across softly rolling hills –
a poem without words

The Gold Beneath
If someone calls you a worm,
seek clarification.
If it’s an earthworm they’re referring to,
consider this:
earthworms till soil, recycle,
add nutrients and oxygen,
and help with drainage.
They themselves are food
for robins and other birds,
snakes, snails, bears, foxes,
and hedgehogs.
They provide endless opportunities
for young boys to tease
their squeamish friends and prove
their fearless masculinity
as they bait hooks and fish.
If someone calls you a worm,
you are clearly an asset to the planet.
Nod sagely and thank them.

How can I listen
to Spirit if I’m the one
doing the talking?
Walking With Care
Jimmy, my dog who
shuns the outdoors, walked with me
the quarter mile
to the mailbox and back. He
eyed me nervously
when I paused, shook his head when
one neighbor asked if
I were ok and nodded
when another offered me
a ride. Dismayed by
my persistence, he sighed and
kept on walking by my side.
