Friday night.
She sways the winds of winter
Of glass frostem
From lake blue
In ocean white ice
Greek island
Often do you think about
Just feel better soon as you posted.

nightmusic
There is music in the air, music all around us; the world is
full of it, and you simply take as much as you require.”
—Edward Elgar
night’s keen baton keeps perfect time,
to suck lithe rhythm and pastel rhyme
from heav’n’s nocturnal stores.
shrill crickets play their piccolos,
the bamboo—flutes the warm wind blows,
that echo on the shores.
owl bugles from dark caverns shoot,
as though, wide-eyed, they gave a hoot
who answers to their whoo?
frog tremolos at cadence-points
the evening’s gaiety anoints...
full of it, and you simply take as much as you require.”

TIGGA
You are that’s extra twinkly star that pops out as darkness folds us in for the night but you still remain you always stayed up way to late . You are the warmth in the extra lining of my parka coat . You are muddy paws and wet nose kisses on my head and the unexpected gifts of a dead mouse by my bed .
You are still my comfort blanket but just from afar .
I will never stop looking for rainbows that end with
dreamy treats . Tigga quite simply in a world
that’s filled with so much war and struggle
and pain . One look at you and I knew it was
high five paws all...

The Loss
The loss of a pet
hits harder than you expect
when that little soul departs
for the rainbow hill in the sky
you are left with an emptiness
a pain like nothing you have experienced.
An ache so intense
it creates a void in your heart.
But as the days pass
memories start to patch it up
and eventually the chasm becomes a hole.
Stuffed with beautiful comforting moments.
When you remember how intensely they loved you,
how they were a part of your family
as surely as humans are.
How lucky you was to have the devotion of a...

Ode to Sea Otters
I am floating down the river-bend
And the water is my own kingdom.
Rocks are my tools and I have wisdom
In cracking shells. I swim with my friend
And companion with no worries. There
Is no destination in life. Just breathing air.
And the water is my own kingdom.

And companion with no worries. There

An Array of Hues and Colors
The shapeshifter, the trickster
The far-reaching long-winded tongue twister
I alter dispositions and can falter in different temperaments
With metaphors I metamorph
Assimilating between what’s mine and yours
Willing evolve and transform through these experiments
The Gemini in between him the I
Shifting personalities from eye to eye
When the feeling swings depending on the environment
If I catch the beat I also feel the heat
I may play it back and then just put it on repeat
In contrasting shades of truth, I try to find enlightenment...

The Things I See
Sometimes I look out my window,
and I see some pretty strange things.
Like the monster shaking an elf’s hand,
it was just the shape of the trees.
Or the time I saw a moose with wings,
grazing on the grass in our front yard.
It was just a bunch of over-grown brush,
my imagination is so bizarre!
Last year I saw a giant deer head,
along the edge of the pond,
dipping down for a long cool drink,
a strange outline in the lawn.
And today while walking with my son,
he said, "Look, I see a rabbit over...

Flying Pigs
If pigs could really fly
would they have angel wings
that glittered in the sun.
Would they live in the heavens
on fluffy white clouds
surrounded by brilliant blue skies above.
Would they snort sweet songs of love
waiting for more pigs to come
heaven would be quite strange if pigs could fly like doves.

Rabbit in the Mist
Kissed by the mist
dark rabbit of my soul
the deer have come to play
you had better stay away.
Your back furry and black
you almost always pay
escape you will again
your luck it never fades.
But just for one more day
oh please come back my way
kissed by the mist
dark rabbit soul of mine.

Winter Rabbit
It's not Monday,
but it sure feels like one.
The rabbit that lives in the log pile
hasn't come out in days.
He hates the cold, the wind, the snow
I don't blame him for his ways.
I've been throwing food around the entrance
it's gone so I know he's still there.
The waterpipes were frozen this morning
and woodsmoke fills the air.
It's only two degrees outside
and the sun is shining here.

Don't Step In It
Plum tree full, over ripe
mushy under my bare foot
bear scat on the ground
mushy under my bare foot
bear scat on the ground

What does the Giraffe dream about?
The giraffe is a butterfly without wings,
the penguin is a sea butterfly
and the platypus is a strange butterfly...
and the stork, what does the stork dream about?
The stork dreams of clear skies
full of butterfly wings and giraffe spots,
she dreams of the Antarctic white and the backs of penguins,
She dreams of penguins' orange beaks
and beaks that are not non-beaks of platypuses.
The stork dreams of chimneys,
that do not release smoke to build their nest,
dreams of the iridescence of butterfly wings,
From the spots of...
