Bags tied to cart
Again she stops
Garbage her friend
Lonely and homeless
Agatha walks unknown
Days seeking warmth, life
Yields to harsh elements




With a great deal of help of my friends. This is more hard hitting and I thank them for their help

Cup Of Tea

snugly warm, tea in hand
watch snow melt
kaleidoscope of colors

Happy Holiday

I want to wish my friends and readers a Happy Holiday and a blessed New year Weather it be the miracle of the lights or the Saviors birth.. We are all one in God's eye.
See you in the new year.

Regret........

a word my heart knows
year after year it shadows me
digs ever deep my grave

Fleeting....Haiku My Heart

fleeting are our days
count count the hours as they pass
petals drop fore lorn

Bag Lady

Bags tied to an old cart
Again and again she stops
Garbage her only friend
Lonely and homeless
Agatha walks on unknown
Day after day seeking cover from the cold
Yielding in the end to the ice and snow

Junction......

winding streams meet
ice clogged junction

Winter dreams

cold winds roars....
grandfather dreams

soft snow falls
last rose trembles

City Streets

winters walk along city streets
count the iced over cracks

North Winds

north winds blow at night
wistful children's dreams come true
by Christmas morns light

Wistful Thoughts

wistful thoughts fill me
as winter snows pile deeper
first snow blocks barn door

Repetition

eyes, the eyes mirror
what waits, what lies
deep deep within our souls

yet change is set
change is set in stone
like a story told
it must unfold
must unfold

Spider Webs Secret

Hidden deep in the undergrowth of a worn forest path
lies the remains of a spiders web.
Jewel like it glistens, ice dreams in the last light of day.

Woven with such complexity it can withstand winters furry.
The tiny spider spun a sugar palace, warp and weft, it toiled through
spring and fall.

The tight interwoven patterns hold the secret of continuance .
A spiders life cycle stretched between branches.
The web is the keeper of the keys to next springs coming.

did I remember to forget your kiss
drinking while softly singing your song
did I run out in the rain, too late
where now nothing but silent shadows remain
will you fade from my heart full of pain

Hours Creep

the hours they creep
patterns repeat,
snow... snow...snow

The Curtain Of Your Being

My hands open the curtains of your being
I have loved you long these many years
Our hearts entwined, growing together

I have memorized the touch of your fragrant silken skin
Each curve a tender path that I must travel
As I reach for your soft mellow body

you tremble ever so slightly as if a cool wind covered your heart
Oh, open your door my love, fill my desire
As I hold you close, I feel your softness melt into me

each year snowy white Egrets take flight.....migration

soft white gleam, first snow

bare brittle winter ice
creeps leaching deep snow prints

Your name My Love

I wrote your name in the sky but the wind blew it away
I wrote your name in the sand but the tides pulled you out
I wrote your name deep in my heart but sadly my love
the soft dew of mornings tears had washed it away

Lighthouse In The Sky

foggy lighthouse cuts through
misty gray skies
at moons set
shine yellow dark stars
