What You Will FInd Here ...

Join me in my celebration of life and language through poetry. You will find no hint of literary snobbery here. Much like our beloved English ... THIS poet is very much alive, fun-loving, growing and changing!

For the Love of Lightning Bugs


Summertime's sun
Radiantly kisses earth
Ripening plantings
We made together in spring

Tomatoes on vines
First green - blush to pink, then red
Flavor exploding
Sunshine’s taste - melts on my tongue

We have a contest
Spitting watermelon seeds
From the back porch steps
Chins, hands, shirts - sticky with juice

Exuberant kids
Play “Red Rover” ‘til darkness
Barefoot in the grass
Chasing lightning bugs with glee
