| Harmonious Flight Way over my head a rustle of wings A wisp of wind on my face sings They gaze down to me from above Sharing with all their glorious love To wonderful to put into words Examples to all watching the birds I see so much grace I truly delight And contemplate harmonious flight While they flitter, flutter and play I can only quiver, quaver and pray Exquisitely grand inside and out I want to rise up, glory and shout They dance in my life and sing Fly with my soul on their wing Into my life they truly were thrust But flying with them I totally trust If you can't see them up in the skies Open your heart not just your eyes Then be revealed so you can see Angels God sent to watch over me Published 2004 Copyright 2004 This poem was written specifically to be published in "The Best Poems and Poets of 2004" from Watermark Press |
| Car Sledding Today I went sledding on Rt. 16 with my car, Before 2 trees I did hit I slid pretty far! My body not broke, but was knocked all ajar, That car now however never again to see tar! No fun any more now I'm in a lot of pain, My body is sore from my toes to my brain! No broken bones, but my muscles did strain, Now lying here in bed is driving me insane! I drove around like I was going to a fire, To get where I wanted was my only desire! So for now as a driver I may need to retire, If I do want to drive a new car I'll require! Not proud of my fun and I don't feel sublime, I've kepy my guardian angel working overtime! What I've done to that car is almost a crime, With the help of a tree I can stop on a dime! Copyright 2001 This poem was written after I totaled a 1993 Ford Crown Victoria in a snowstorm. A local radio station took my reading of it, put music behind it and played it on the air. |

| A Stately Oak A stately oak tree lofty and staunch, Stood with it's head toward God; It once was a seed, just a tiny acorn, Placed in the heart of some sod. Thru shower or storm upward will grow, An out-branching, sheltering tree, A reminder to all you reap what you sow, Growing on undaunted by adversity. I fall with it's colors ablazing, It yields to some order of nature, It's luxurious coat is now fading, But will never give up it's stature. For God has given it winter to rest, For it's passed the seasons of test, If patient till Spring, will awaken again, To see tiny acorns to large oaks begin. Copyright 2000 |
| Oh, she came to us a little puff ball Nudged her way into the heart of us all Yellow bright eyes and sleek shiny fur Xenia she was, a welcome guest for sure Oh, she was soft, sweet, a bundle of joy Now our best friend and such a cuddly toy Yacky and sassy she talked to me secretly Xanthic eyes were rewarding me sweetly Oh she ran to the door to welcome us back No bombs here for she checked every sack Yielding rarely she beat up both dogs X-raying the woods and pouncing on logs Oh she stole my heart then stomped it flat Never such love have I felt for a cat Yesterday's gone and it stole her away Xenia is gone such a sad tragic day Onyx we love you and miss you so much Nestled within you a magical touch You came and you went yet never apart Xanthic eyes will live on in my heart! |
