The Garden I don't Have

Bloom sweet buds of May

Profusion blossoms flutter

Warm fragrant evening

Iridescent bird
Searches for bright spring blossoms

Life giving nectar

Red velvet petals

Cascade of begonias drip

Sweet droplets of dew

Rain

Drops kiss

Window pane

Sliding down glass

Tears

Iris

Pointed leaves slice dirt
Heady perfume, Iris bloom
Stands in purple haze

I Find The Sun

I find a place infused with sun
I find I'm in my garden.
feet propped up, book in hand.
I find the smell of sweet peas intoxicating.
I find a cool raindrop spattered on my skin.

Gulls on Slave Lake

Acrylic on canvas

Lanturne

Seeds

Sprouting

Send out shoots

Soaking up Sun

Sigh

Trapped!

Breaking apart cracked.
Frantic to break out of shell.
Baby chick is born.

I Want Again

I Want Again

What ever happened to us?

In a crowded room, you wore old spice,

you held my hand, there was just us.

Now we arrive, we part at the door,

I watch that Stetson walking away.

I want again, strong arms and old spice.

To feel your warm hand reach for mine.

So I ask you to turn the television off,

I hear the click, I feel your hand.

What ever happened to us?

Poetry

Poetry

Crystal water fall

Words and letters tinkling down

Pooling on the ground

Fountain pen in hand

Cull them out, and polish them

Special wisdom pearls

Diamonds and rubies

Glittering colors adorn

Precious Poetry

Crabapples

Apple tree delicious

Bite bitter pucker power

Crabapples from tree

Dark night

Velvet creeps the night

Torrent of shattered crystal

Droplets from the sky

Spring Fever

Ribbon of hiway
Distant fires burn within
Wind whispered welcome

Campfire

Crackling fire sticks

Molten sugar drips fire

Roasting marshmellows

An old painting

Mother Earth

Rain

Smoke swirls clouds roiling
Rain gnash teeth wind lonely howl
Fireplace comfort

Easter Weekend

Weekend of Easter
Pastel eggs chocolate bunny
Family gathering

Tree

Where the tree once stood
Majestic tall slender green
Now a gnarled stump
