Tomato Sandwich
A summer is tomatoes
And lots of cucumbers too.
Living in my grandparents farm
Was kindness through and through .

Spring
a wet morning
Spring is here
As the cardinals
Build their nest.
robin’s are near.
And the world is close
To turmoil.
wrong has replace right
However the birds
Still serenade
After the stormy night .

The Love of an Uncle
The love of an uncle
Just to be there
In the middle
Of confusion he listens
And cares .

Easter Moon
Easter Sunrise
Pink moon descends
While Jesus’s resurrection begins .
A year of hardship
Around the world
The Wrong unfurls
May the message of love
As a sacrifice reigns
And we in follow, do the same .

Kitchen is for Dancing
We were young
Music was in our feet.
My older sister and I
left with the chores
of the evening after dinner
to clean the kitchen.
We would wash the dishes
And as we did, we danced.
Rock and roll
And beach music,
the shag was the rage,
linoleum floor.
Our grandparent’s home
and white wash cupboards.
a small kitchen table
With a swinging door to the dining room.
A door we kept closed
So we could dance to the radio
Sitting on the yellow table
Loud enough to get by …
not loud enough to get caught
Elvis, the Beatles and Buddy Holly
Transformed into our bandstand
As we found ourselves dancing
In grandma’s kitchen …

Father Time
Father Time returns
Another year older
His beard whiter
The weather much colder .

Tea
I poured my tea
And let it rest upon the fireplace.
I sat close by to stay warm
The embers glow on my face.
The storm just close enough
to warn that it is near and cold.
Staying far away
the clouds are gray and bold.
I return to the warmth
and start to drink my tea
It is the safety of my home
that truly comforts me.

Young Goblins
The moon is out
The ghost about
In this soon to be
🎃 Halloween.
I run in fright
In the night
And hope to not be seen.
But the Casper winks
The pumpkins blink
As I pass the hallow team
