What’s in the raging flame
of banned books burning?
Knowledge, truth, learning;
courage, freedom, yearning.
terri guillemets
composed by yours truly
Caution
Carelessness doesn’t bounce; it shatters.
Duet
Let your fear dance with courage — and let courage lead.
Agone
Love stabs at loss with pangs of past happiness.
Imperceptible
Under the giving snow blossoms a daring spring.
Lost & unfound
opportune words
fall into my brain
at inopportune times
quickly lost to real life —
not to be found again, i fear
’til some inkless paperless afterlife
Fallen youth
my body’s lifelong dance with gravity
has turned to wrestling match
Winter rest
The earth tucked herself in for the year with winter’s frosty white blanket
Personal injury
Sometimes a relationship can hobble along for years with an injured leg
Reduced visibility
A bad attitude is a fog over your whole body.
P & L
with each passing year
spirit becomes more asset
body, liability
Belly laughs
When laughter feasts, sadness starves.
Tickle me pink & atomic tangerine
I can tell it’s probably not going to be much of a productive day when I spend ten minutes over morning coffee trying to match each color of the sunrise to its corresponding crayon.
