that cruelly steal away my breath,
to hover where it bare belongs,
in misty shrouds of summer’s death.
The winds of change feel bitter … Read the rest

Wildflowers
I was a city girl; you were a country boy,
who lassoed me, with polite yes ma’ams
and not so polite passion.
I traded Dior for blue jeans,
nightlife for … Read the rest
With a Smile
The blushing morning flashed her poesy smile,
seduced me, beckoning through my windows.
Come, leave your worn out shoes and woes awhile
to dance in rhythm with verdant meadows.
Rejoice … Read the rest
Toes in Sand
toes in sand
sun kissed sighs
hat in hand
gentle tides fall and rise
angry heels
deadline dues

I’ve explosive jelly,

Go fly … Read the rest

With melodies of barbecues,
‘neath azure skies that … Read the rest

The white picket fence sags
resigned, grey
bright, bobbing gardens shriveled
to hide in parched beds
chickens ceased scratching
dogs stopped chasing

Dandelion Seeds
A squirrel-like hoarder
the shelves bulge, hinges creak,
overstuffed drawers waterfall

while a tickling breeze sweeps
away the last of March’s slushriver
beaver are busy building
shady log cabin … Read the rest
