(2014)
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
