When I’m Allowed
November 11, 2020 I’ve been so long beneath this curse,I pray it’s easing, won’t get worse. What will I do when I’m allowedTo roam about, be in a crowd? Some things I miss, can hardly waitTo give a hug, to … Continue reading
Time to Heal
November 10, 2020 The news looks good. A vaccine’s done.Against the virus, have we won? We have new hope, perhaps one day,We’ll go outside, unmasked to play. So many problems left to solve,Will we emerge with strong resolve? I think … Continue reading
Sharing
November 9, 2020 So who am I that I should write,And hatch my words to see the light? If I take time to write and share,Will words take flight, go anywhere? What makes some rhymes take off and soar,While others … Continue reading
Thuds and Duds
November 7, 2020 My goal’s to soar on eagle’s wings,To capture thoughts that my heart sings. Some days fall flat, I feel the thud,The words don’t mesh, the rhyme’s a dud. Even days the words don’t flowI persevere because I … Continue reading

A Slower Pace
October 31, 2020 Remember days of carefree fun,The smell of flowers, warmth of sun, Relaxing in the perfect tree,Or taking time to watch a bee? A morning breeze, a gliding bike,A stop by woods to take a hike, Pine needle … Continue reading
Choosing Sides
October 30, 2020 It’s time once more to choose a side.Who can I trust? I must decide. Both sides, through ads, I think have shownThat they are quick to cast a stone. With messages of hate and fear,Both sides proclaim … Continue reading
Golden Visions
The snowy peaks, dawn’s early light,An eagle spreads its wings in flight. Those Colorado mountain trips,Steep narrow roads, white knuckle grips. The golden visions from the past,They still remain, endure, and last. An old abandoned mountain pass,Now just two ruts … Continue reading
