Dragonfly hovers,
wings out; body lithe and bright,
swoops and darts for snacks:
doomed gnats and mosquitoes snatched.
Then digests. On . . .

winds and twists her way through the land.
Along her ancient enchanted shores emerge
clusters of human life, communities launching
the beginnings of a . . .

Green Grass of Summer
Rain soaks deeply in
Roots engorge and sod expands
Lucious summer drink
lightning lends effulgent light
stems and blades swell up with green

There she is again
hoped she would have found
a place to be by now
just sitting there like yesterday
the picnic table in the park
her living room and dining . . .

Convention sets the boundaries
and people choose
fall in or out of line
the family way; the church's say;
village ordinance; rule of law
outlines followed, outlines skipped
the player must decide . . .

One always hates to see
The out-flung trash
Ugly debris
And the spoiling that's comes
To the land along the highway.

The nation mourned and moaned

Life can elicit a great many feelings
and we can respond in so many ways.
Our tough situations, our hard people-dealings,
bring on the harsher and heavier days.
Love lost can sink us in deep, . . .

When I asked for a hint on 14 across
You said, “Read me the clue, since you’re at a loss.”
“It’s a mammal, three letters, ends with a ‘U’”

The sun blazes.
We know what it is.
Its rays flood .
We chart the physics of them.
That light-wave combo platter

I’d give my right arm
To be ambidextrous
I’d give lungs or gills
To be amphibious
I’d give all my mobility
To be ambulatory
I’d give and take
To avoid ambiguity

Leaves burst forth from trees
petals release and rain down
adorning the path
carpet matching canopy
the road beautifully softened.

The French Quarter sights, drinks and jazz do enthrall.
To be tossed shiny beads some lift shirts, baring all.
Some churches serve Shrove Tuesday pancakes that night:
a "G" rated sensory form . . .

Smudged heads, examined hearts,
thus, our Lenten fasting starts.
We are dust, but formed by Love
Holy Breath gives life a shove.
Now we long for Love's embrace,
to coax our wills toward . . .

The thorns stand like sentries
stationed along the stem below,
razor sharp armament,
keeping rigid posture,
watching and protecting
the sacred space . . .

Red seed pecked, swallowed
The robin hops, then rejects
Thrice repeats the same
The hard red hide well softened
Like a heart, new life to sprout

Ahhh, the bay, the bridge
the hot java steaming

your countenance gleaming
blue skies, boats and breezes
the unhurried walking
the languid relaxing
the presence, the talking

When the child was born
the parents smiled and marveled
not knowing how fingers and toes could be so tiny
and not comprehending how things so small could
evoke a sense of mystery so big
Smiles of awe . . .

The age of information
gives way to desperate searching
as the march of automation
leads to staggering and lurching.
The missing vital element
is warmth and human . . .
