Stories from Trees
‘Tis a fine day indeed
To shelter beneath the oak canopy
Closing the book I thought to read
I silence the noise within
And listen to the stories trees tell me

Wisteria
It’s all about transformation
From seed to plant, bud to flower
New looks different than old
Without an audience
Blooms open, still

Dream in Color
Daylight outlines in black and white
Twilight blends into grey
At night, I dream in color

Poem #18 for NaPoWriMo and April Poetry Month
Color of Mist
Grey is the color of mist
Soft as an angel’s kiss
An ancient zephyr passes by
Embracing blossoms with its sigh

Poem #17 for NaPoWriMo and April Poetry Month
From Royalty Pecan Farms, Caldwell, Texas
Traffic Jam in a Jar
Traffic Jam in a jar
How I wish that’s where you are
Cars and trucks galore
Block the road forever more
It’d be great to travel to a star
Stuffing all traffic jams into a jar
