Peace

the swing out back, sways
a light breeze carresses me
water laps my toes !

Dog

Wet nose and kisses
paws sliding on kitchen floor
cat races away

Incandescent

Hot wire, it glowed
inside of  frosted glasses
light bulbs are no more!

Book

smelling the pages
eyes close in delight at this!
breathe in the words, READ !

Trembling

 

hugs herself, running
looks behind her, he's gaining!
up ahead, a cop!

there ain’t no mountain
that’s too high for me to climb
love is my ladder

Grandmothers mate, he
tried once to teach me to skate,
on ice, ah the lake.

head lost in pillows
snuggled under flannel sheets
flailing arm hits snooze!
