| Soggy and sloppy,
accompanied by giggles a child’s gentle kiss |
| Haiku |
| Fragrance Gentle scent wafting on temperate spring breezes ~ Lilacs are in bloom |
| Griffin
Lion paws rampant bird beak strikes while furred wings flare – Griffin in crystal |
 |
| IDream
Fear not the night’s dream. It’s just a journey you take into imagination. |
| Emerald
Pure green perfection gently crafted, faceted. Cold, hard verdant ice. |
| Flames
Sky smoky. Can’t breathe. Woodlands devoured by flames. Someone’s carelessness. |
| Bats
Airborne rodents fly in multitudes from cave’s mouth, darken evening sky |
| Claw
Retracted dagger camouflaged by gentle paw softly pats my face |
 |
| Deep in the Forest
An antlered head seen peeking ‘round a live oak tree in my own back yard |
| Forgiveness alone
does not bring me happiness but it heals my soul |
 |
| Cat hair is soft but –
little fur balls on the floor here, there, everywhere! |
| Mom says, “Eat sugar!
Drink water while upside down! Breathe into a bag!” Attack of hiccups ~ diaphragm convulsions are never any fun. |
| Mystery
Why, who, when and how? Detective searches for clues ~ a murder most foul! |
| Nonchalant
It matters little to me that you don’t notice when I ignore you |
| Sand
Desert’s DNA imbued with Apollo’s heat. Time through my fingers. |
| Lavaliere dangles,
square-cut ruby framed in gold, bright against fair throat. |
| Diagonal stripes –
sun slanting through blinds turns cat to zebra |
| Catamaran sail,
carry me to Paradise on wings of canvas. |
| Worm in Tequila Bottle
Maguey worm floating in potent amber liquid swallowed by mistake Teaches me not to chug-a-lug tequila straight from half-full bottle |
| walking through midnight
into, across sealed boudoir white lady weeps |
