You are loved

Didn’t they know
that people cared?
That they were loved?
Why didn’t someone
tell them?
Maybe they did
But it could not
Penetrate
Their mood
In their mind
They knew
They were loved
But they could not
Make their heart believe

(2015)

Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
If I wasn't there

What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up

An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it

To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
Children

Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect

Caught in the middle

Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt

Cheerios

Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
She listens

Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly

I am unique

I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread

Poetry

Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse

A girl who loves horses

A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers

The ugliest shade of green

The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job

Is it ready?

Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
