Snowbird
Snowbird As the sky turnsFrom blue to creamy yellowWhen the sun sinks lowerAnd we begin to feel mellow Feeling the slight tingleof freshly sun-kissed skin And freckles on a noseThat knows not how to begin Your sapient thoughts confirmThis is where you need to beBrush off the cobwebsIn search of liberty For all the winter clothesAre but just anContinue reading “Snowbird”
Weeping Willow
Weeping Willow The Weeping Willow’s tearsPoured into the rippling waterUntil the swollen river crested So full with her griefSwallowing deeply, ingesting her painUntil she no longer protested She came often to share her thoughtsThis time she brought her anguishIt was as if her heart infested The Willow absorbed her criesThe deep sobs of the woundedIt was there forContinue reading “Weeping Willow”

Gnarly
Gnarly Like a belligerent badger Or a dog with a bone Angry at the world You build your wall of stone Standing at the back door When gifts were handed out Temper was the one you received Learning to scream and shout Driving people away who just want to be kind They rarely stayContinue reading “Gnarly”
Embarrassment
Embarrassment At that one fatuous momentThere was an eruptionOf your putrescent angerSpewing the carnageAn obvious disruption No one saw it comingSilence was broken By the obnoxious soundEven the deadIt would have woken A hush fell over the roomAs mouths gaped wideYou could see minds turningIn unison wonderingWhere on earth could one hide You in yourContinue reading “Embarrassment”
In The Long Run
In the Long Run Like kissing a train Going down the tracks Or catching a falling knife So is the world with you Danger wherever I look Sometimes in fear for my life Jump on the bandwagon Or continue to boredom What is life if not lived? Dull and predictable Lonely and missing Better toContinue reading “In The Long Run”
