Ribbon of Light

 

ribbon of light 

gift wraps the day 

each day a present  

 

 ******

drawn to the sunshine 

feel the warmth around the snow 

souls rise to the top 

Warmth From Friendship

 

Electric blanket  

and laptop heat unequal  

to warmth from friendship 

 

Experienced during a zoom call with friends as we laughed and shared stories of families, friends, weather, holidays, and dressing in multiple layers when you go outside in Minnesota. LOL 

 

******

sniff, lick, bite the hand 

move iPhone and e-Reader 

it's cat cuddle time 

Butterfly Guides The Way

 

six days of new year 

proceeding with caution  

walking on thin ice 

******

dark cold heavy mist 

rain down on protestors 

send these people home 

 

******

red, pink, yellow, white 

journey through pain to healing 

butterfly guides the way 

 

Looking Up I See

 

looking up I see 

willow tree's graceful branches 

swaying in motion 

Quiet Cloudy Morn

 

Quiet cloudy morn 

blankets energy and mood 

birds break the silence  

*****  

snow covers the ground 

sparrows nibble fallen seeds 

sun brightens the day 

*****  

observing nature  

high and low, near and far 

new eyes see poems  

Long Day Disrupted

 

long day disrupted 

surprise bouquet delivered 

smell the fresh flowers 

Her Irish Mother

her Irish mother 

served our black tea sweet and strong 

first sip brings her back 

 

 

*****

helicopters above 

mem'ry of city burning 

fears rise yet again
