The Poppies

The sun is bright
the day feels right
poppies in bloom
more flowers soon
Spring is here, summer is near

Floating feathers
finely framed
tumbling twirling
timely tamed
slowly setting silent sleuths
resting regal
on rainy roofs

How bright the light on a full moon night
mysterious and clear, the moon looks so near.
The shades are down but I can see all around
natures light is so bright, I have no fright.
I peak outside, look up high
I wonder how and wonder why?

You see a rainbow in the sky
don’ ask how, don’t ask why.
Enjoy the beauty that you see
before it’s gone, quickly set free.

Summer Time

Thought I’d take the summer off
get a little exercise, play some golf.
Pain a little, write a poem
walk the dog, be alone.
Time to think, wonder what’s right
stare at the stars on a summer night.
visit some friends, walk the beach
anything’s possible, nothing out of reach.
Warm summer days, fireflies at night
a wonderful time -everything is right.

Do You Ever Feel Sad?

Do you ever feel sad on a rainy day
the gray old clouds just feel that way.
The sun doesn’t shine, the sky is dark
the birds aren’t singing, the dogs don’t bark.
The flowers are droopy, look a little beat
not bright and shiny, nice and neat.
Your heart feels heavy, a little down
not much of a smile, almost a frown.
But there’s always hope, the sun will shine
the sky will clear, just a matter of time.
don’t feel blue as the drops fall down
they make a promise as they hit the ground –
the clouds will part, the sky turn blue
things will be fresh to start anew.

October’s Clear Blue Skies

October’s incredible clear blue skies

pleases our mind, a joy to our eyes

Gives us a lift from hot summer days

prepares us for winter – it’s cold, cold ways

A beautiful gift and memory too

as skies turn grey hiding the blue

Sitting in the Sun One Last Day

Sitting in the sun

one more day

maybe the last

November on its way

Beautiful blue skies

colorful leaves

one last day

in a warm gentle breeze

Sweet smelling leaves

buds still blooming

not really knowing

winter is looming

One last day

enjoying the fall

winter too close

not far at all

There Will Always Be A Sunrise

There will always be a sunrise

Although at times it is

Hidden by thick grey clouds

Obscured by wind and snow

Blocked by fog and mist

Invisible through sheets of rain

Out of sight but always there

There will always be a sunrise

Nature Wakes From a Deep Winter Sleep

No longer do I see bare bark and naked limbs

Bright new green hides the branches

Flowering buds dress the trees

Nature wakes from a deep winter sleep
