Morning Dew
August 8, 2022 The year I turned seventy I learned that rhymeIs a pass time I love, good investment of time.It helps me to capture the thoughts that pass through.Sometimes they linger and settle like dew. I ponder each morning, … Continue reading
Words Bloom
August 6, 2022 To contemplate a brand-new book,To see the concept bake and cook,When just a bud, not yet a rose,Its beauty forms, takes shape, and grows. It’s hard to know just how or whenThe seed was planted deep within.When … Continue reading
Stories That Linger
August 4, 2022 You may know I love words that are metered and rhymed,Even better a story with wisdom entwined,A story well written that touches the soul,A story that lingers long after it’s told. Some stories for children read after … Continue reading
