(2014)
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
