January 7th, 2014
~
Two globes of gelato~icy bliss to savor slowly
one Dark Raspberry Chocolate~one Lemon Cookie
nestled in a bowl ~ surrounded by crisp tinned peaches
clouds of whipped cream form a delectable white mountain
two angel winged wafers wave cheerfully from the summit
begging to be nibbled~extracting a wing I relish each bite
grateful for this taste of summer on a brisk winter day

Gentle current
mermaid's hair
sways gracefully

Thick dimpled pewter drapes
curious silver eye peers out briefly
then the curtain twitches closed again
nosey neighbor in the sky~winter sun

Remembering Papa
1906-1994
~
Gone too long
Papa and his girls
what magic tales he told
~
Yet he lives on in us
my little sister and I
his creativity the gift we share
~
Separated by years and miles
he is the thread
that connects us both
~
Happy Birthday, Papa
our fond memories of you
even death cannot erase

January 11th, 2014
~
Black phantoms race across the evening sky
dragging tattered cloaks~swirling and churning
harbingers of the approaching promised storm
they merge~melting into one dark ominous mass
swallowing light~dense darkness falls~not a sliver of silver
we wonder~will they bring rain~or were they merely bragging?

Seven for Sunday Trio
~
No rain for us~sprinkles fizzled out
~
Pink tutus frolic~frilly sunset clouds dance
~
Garden looks dejected~watering must start today
