Middle childhood days of carefree delight,

Raining In Summer
Torrential downpours drown this summer day;
huge puddles forming, filled with tears of rain.
No sun and sky of blue- my heart gives way
to sadness while my mood reflects past pain.
Amazing, how a summer storm will bring

through the hallway softly gliding.

The atmosphere bursting where you need me;

If Only You KnewLove came and went like a lost Autumn leaf
tumbling from a naked limb of death
though beauty was found her kisses turned brief

Widow's Woe Is HeardIn days bygone, a widow was looked at as a tried leaf.
There was no aid, even from a twig. She just fell and fled.

Spring Sonnet
The microscopic lifeforms in my soil
Sense the rising in degrees Celsius.

While hungry birds look down most odious.

Winning crowns for its glorious fulfillment
Lush greenery soon grows its perfect blend
With multi-hues in mesmerizing vent.
While sunrise showers blessings on the ground
Flying critters delight on bursting tones
Every green spot...

spinning spotting hard on a lightning bolt;

Rhythm picks up with the darkening skies

Detonation of pomp and circumstance...
