Listen to this rhyme I say,
and be prepared every day.
In the forest you may go,
weather shine or weather snow.
If your lost within the trees,
don’t run around like a sleaze.
Don’t tromp about and shake your...

The Eternal Pine Forest, An Unofficial Love SonnetI love the winter, the way it whirls my breath
Away; reminds me I am alive, there's hope.
I love the ferns bejeweled in snow, the heath
As it patterns our legs, walking forest-roads.
I love the spring, that...

December Spirits
December morning
and already life is withdrawing
into the shade. The air
has the smell of smoke
blowing down from bushfires
burning up north. The sun
wears a red glow.
The veneer of normality
begins to crack under heat
to reveal what's...

Seasons
Summer to fall,
No other transition
Is quite so compelling,
So thrilling,
So enchanting,
The sunlight shines golden
In the late afternoon,
Illuminating the leaves of trees,
Some of which reveal gentle hues
Of red, orange, and yellow,
The sun spreads its warmth
Like an infant...

A Dreamy NightBlack onyx night, of the pearlescent moon,
diamond dew kissed, musk rose red.
Deep purple and white passion!
Phantoms dance in lilac dreams;
around the corner of blooms,
with memories of sunshine.
Comparing lovely costumes,
in fields, beds and flowerpots,
just steps away...

YaldaHad you not pierced my heart with sorrow's dart,
Nor led my yearning lips to love's swift start,
The moon, a tearful eye, would not have gazed,
Upon my river, where my soul is crazed.
No surging waves of...

A WARM SUMMER AFTERNOONIt's a clear and bright day outside
Summer breeze blowing through my hair
Walking on the beach, playing in the sand
Along the boardwalk, checking the scene
Enjoying a sun filled day at the park
Having a picnic, laid back...

Sitting in the Sunwarmth floods over me
when blue flowers are climbing
sage red rose timing
sitting on the stairs
in sweet caress of warm winds
gold noon never ends
sitting among scents
under lemon chiffon clouds
in butterfly crowds
soaking saffron sun
as purple martins sing soft
wealths...

The FarmhouseThe farmhouse sits at the end of the gravel driveway
The red curtains wave in the open window,
Moving perfectly with the late spring breeze
The trees surround the home like a backsplash
A forest of light and dark...

The Red HibiscusA red hibiscus bloomed
In the backyard yesterday
Reminding me of my mother
And things she used to say.
Like, “Oh, look at that butterfly
And the color of its wings,” and
“Don’t you just love...

- Suddenly, I awoke,
To the touch and feel of his able hands,
I rose to see a light burning ever,
Neither hot to smolder
nor cold to bother.
Suddenly I approached,
To the ray of light...

A Summer SongA warm breeze whispers
Through the crisp and sunburnt leaves
This is summer's song
Her rays like showers
Of gold, down the slanted eaves
A raiment of light
The lindens blossom
As emerald colonnades
Stretched in majesty
And hummingbirds' wings
Murmured round the daffodils
In sweet...

Seasons in Rhyme
Colors, bold and laughing
Journey through Spring, then Summer
Reminiscing about Winter’s bitter
All the hostile, cold and gray
Ice crystals,
Faded into the silence
Beneath a freshly fallen snow
Blowing away the despair, the dark
From a twilight’s beckoning,
Song of light, softly...

An Accident on a Hot Summer DayI see the blue sky
White clouds floating high
Sun over my head
Trees, in wind swaying
Golden leaves dropping
I feel the heat
My body’s sweat
Hot kiss on skin
My body’s spin
Hear a cry
Wheels rumbling
Horns blaring
Smell blood
Ointment
Tears.

Summer
Summer sun burning
Blazing azure sky
Scorched tawny meadow
Pallid hues of trees
Tanned people on beach
Heat of long day
Lethargic spell
Sunset relief
Pull of cold treats
Birds chirping
Hot wind blow
Dry leaves crunched
Mango
Ice cream
Chill
