I am surprised to see A cardinal fly over head then rest on the bare branches, where in spring the crepe myrtle bloomed. Everything is covered with snow from the night before... The ground, frozen beneath the powered snow, as the weather man called it. Stay in they warned on the radio and TV, Snow, ...

There were poems In the ribbons my mother tied In my hair when I was a child. Oh the poem in the frilly white dresses I wore on Children's Day, Mother's Day, Easter Ribbons in my hair again,white satin, always. You should have heard the poem In the ripple of my father's laugh In the middle of family...

Ah yes! I have too many of these trinkets with the promise from the grandchildren that they will "Be over soon" to explain how to use them. Of course they never have time to teach but will do the action for you instead. Yes, regretfully I have fallen into the trap and I have just thought a...

Silent Pen!
Silent night!
Screaming heart!

A lovely poem Cindy! Silence allows a poet to write, even in the middle of a crowd. A very expressive verse...I can relate.

The early morning quiet was shattered With the sound of crackling crystal crowns, Of elegantly dressed trees falling into space. Translucent ball gowns crumbled and Crashed in crystal towers on the frozen forest floor. The trees wailed and moaned and joined In passionate strands of choral crescendo ...

A precious love deepens with time...the gray simply means you are wiser, rich with wisdom and with even being frail the strength it took to hold on to such a love, will not be forgotten. Your smile will be sweeter and remember your partner will have aged too and probably wondering the same questions...

It's a brand new day For new hopes New dreams, New thoughts to pen. New joys to make life Worth while... New corners to turn New smiles to smile. Rise up To greet this day! Touch the hand of a friend Along the way... Let your laughter ring Out loud... Like the roar of butterflies In a storm! Then wr...

Left early, your absence was so present. It was a heavy scene, hard to keep up the happy pretense. "Give her a triple!" they said, "The house special!" "I'll have rum and coke" I said, smiling widely. They toasted me in your name, "Here's to Mrs. Soul!" I told...

I love the sounds of winter And the fancy way she dresses When it snows... I love the ice kisses she throws From roof tops and trees Icicles crystal clear Forming and falling like tears From the eyes of deserted lovers... I love the crunch-crunch of her Padded spaces and the way Winter laces snow fl...

light crawls across ocean floor,
peace breathes while fish swim

pale sky at night fall
world in raptured autumn haze
moon savors your smile

my voice is silenced
by sound of water fall's pure

Pot of Gold Life has hidden treasures For us all. Some are big, some are small. Some blessing are invisile To the eye; If we are not careful, They will pass us by.
