If one draws some graffiti
Might as well make it smile
And add hair so it’s noggin
Will not freeze in the wild
(Though perhaps wipes or tissues
Won’t be bad to stockpile …).

Oh The Places You’d Go!

Oh, for you never know
All the places you’d go,
Where the islands rise up
Far away from the shore,
And you end every day
Dreaming of seeing more.

Bow Break

And the boats
Took a break,
Let the oars
Catch their breath
And the dock
Pat their bows.

Outdoor Sunday
Photo prompt: © Dale Rogerson
“This is perfect,” Juliette leaned back onto her elbows and let the sound wash over her.
“Uhhumm…” Doug scraped mud off his pantleg. His fingers yearned for his phone but he had almost no battery left. He wondered for the hundredth time how long before they returned to the car.
Juliette smiled. She knew Doug found nature torturous. The quiet bored him. He disliked pebbles, creepy-crawlers, wind, and grass-stains.
She also knew her brother tolerated their periodical “Outdoor Sunday” just because he loved her … And because he understood better than anyone how much she’d lost when floods took the homestead.

Heart Memories
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Good friends to me,
To each other,
Their hearts and souls
Brimming love.
A decade passed
Since this photo,
And both had grown
Angel wings.
Sweet moments
Of memories
That won’t ever
Depart.
Dedicated to Kathryn and Carol, forever thankful to have known you. You are forever in my heart.

No Sale

The child gawked at the offers,
Little jaw dropped agape:
Who put Elmo in icing?
Why would anyone want
His best friend to bake?
The boy’s eyes traveled upwards,
Rounded wide at the shelf:
How did Ernie and Bert
End up stuck into cakes?
Can you pull out poor Oscar?
Can Big Bird escape?
This won’t do for my party
I want ice cream instead.

Angels’ Winds
Photo: Karen Forte
The air pristine
On angels’ winds,
Unspoiled by what
Mans’ hands can bring.
In feathered clouds
And oceans’ swing,
It heralds surf
Of joy within,
To mark the waves
With dance that gleams,
And breathes along
A song to sing
For all that dreams.

Thankful Still
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Thankful still for life’s living
Thankful still
For the hope
That each breath that’s drawn in
Can begin
And can bring.
Thankful still, if hadn’t always
For the ebb
And the flow
Of small joys and big sorrows
As they come
And they go
As we grow
And we know.

Fall Friends

Side by side
They keep near
In the wind
In the rain.
Limb to limb
They hold hands,
Close company
They maintain.
Friends in all
Friends in fall.

Cold Edge
Photo: Amitai Asif
At the fringe of the habitable
Where the ice kisses sky,
And the black rock remembers
Lava’s wrath, ashes’ sigh,
The cold wraps hands around hearts
To reach deep and warmth pry.
