May

It is time to meet the Spring
With daffodils and buds in green.
Rise up, Sweet flowers, and cheer
The month of May is here!

Man in the Moon

A brilliant bright spot
on an equally dark night.
Leading -light, -shine, -walk.

Shadows mask his eyes
to turn about and leave behind
Following -night, -time, -crawl.

Winter's Delight

Through the dark, Christmas shines
bright with tinsel, bulbs and bows.
Children squeal with delight
as gifts abound at their toes.

Snowdrifts piled high and tight
gain speed as sleds take flight.
Ten mittens meet a frosted fate,
Ho,ho,ho, cocoa-filled mugs await!

A Light and Playful Time, Noting this Rhyme of Mine

Plenty of words cross my mind
Lines of muse that dip and fly,
Entries of longing, discord, and trial
Assemble in rhythms of rowdy piles.
Saturated florals of ink and key
Unclaimed meadows to a wandering bee,
Running in teams with tangents that steer
Ending their chase in eight tones to hear,
Silence to find the cadence complete
~ starry nights shine ten times as sweet.

Eager for Tomorrow

With a hunger to find tomorrow
she missed all of what was today
The traveling sun lingers in its bed
Full shadows bloom in the moon ahead
Will she regret her longing tongue
Will she lose her fatal dream
Will she wake to find the sun
Will she fade into the darkening stream

winks

blink, blink, twinkle, blink
firebug flies and lightning winks
blink, blink, twinkle, blink
