Little Birds

Twittering hello,

Little birds in morning light

Fill me with gladness.

House Dreaming

Plant trees; paint the house;

Tear out shag; redecorate--

House hunting, dreaming.

Dame Agatha Christie

As cheap as a buck,

Travel in paperback form,

A swell tear-through read.

Millennial Magic

Children told to fly

Grow without roots in the ground,

Yearning for magic.

Reveries of Summer

Pastoral scenes lit

By gold, summer's aging sun;

Truck-driving barefoot.

New Skin

The sun shines again;

Sleep has shed yesterday's grief--

A snake in new skin.

Struggle with Sadness

Struggle with sadness:

Finding the silver lining, 

Losing it once more.
