Memory Lane: Nana's Garden (With Final Chapter)
1) Memory Lane
In memory lane colors bloom
all in rows, brightest at noon,
just to bask in one hot sun
to grow at night while we slept on.
Now memories still bloom at night
when I sleep I still remember
the colors the most above all else
and Grandpa's chuckling laugh
and Nana's big smile, and
how she always did when I
went over and stayed for a long while.
68 words, 50 unique
2) The Garden
The garden awakens to pure simplicity
in the morning when dew is on the lawn. ...

Rockhollow Series: May, come in
Weather: Heavy raincloud, spitting rain only late afternoon, very little breeze, humid.
Plant of the day: White bells
Animal sighting of the day: Chaffinch
Rockhollow Series: May, come in
I saw a chaffinch today, flit from a hazel,
above the bed of the stream
to a fallen branch on the other side -
In Britain that's nothing fresh
but for 'Hollow it is.
His red and blue markings were made brighter
beneath the weighted cloud, the lack of Sun
and his head was tilted slightly as...

Indigo
The sky in a shade of wonder
Soon is the eye of thunder
As rain paints the perfect picture
The sun breaks through the clouds
And dries away my doubts
And if I were a color in the sky
I'd be two mixed together, like you and I
Never pink, orange, or green
I'd be one you rarely see
Indigo, I'd be indigo
And you'd find me
Stretched across a rainbow
Indigo, I'd be indigo
Violet and blue
Lost when I am not with you
Indigo, oh oh indigo
I'd grab the sun and not...

Green Worms and Ham
The world will always have the need
for more green worms and ham
to make the natural world go round
plus give us things like spam;
as green worms are caterpillars
who then turn into beautiful butterflies
wonderful winged things
that grace and paint the skies,
helping plants bloom
life would be dull without flowers
no more colours and smells
just boring dull dreary muted hours,
while ham is part of a good diet
making you grow big and strong
full of vim and vigour
for a life that is long,

Summer days
It's turning to spring, and I am back from my winter.
I spent it far below the border
where the air is warmer,
a hot spot for some sinners.
Not me though,
I've thought only of you,
I've longed for your golden pollen
and playful petals of blue.
I brought for you the rain,
I've turned the frost to warm morning dew.
Perched upon a branch,
I'll guard the lands as I wait for you to bloom.
For you I'd fly to the moon,
It's just what lover's do
for one another
when there...

Ars Longa, Vita Brevis, (Valse)
the day goes fast thru brightened arms,
into a
livid glow
that lingers
far longer than
it's worth.
h o w could this have happened, child?
h o w could I have failed you thus?
for what it's worth, the price was too dear.
the torture much too exquisite..........far longer
far longer than...

nature's paintbrush
my sadness washes over me in shades of blue
the sapphire of pain
an aquamarine of grief
and the sea blue of melancholy
I dip my paintbrush in the waters
that make up my soul's ocean
and I create flowery hillsides
that go on for miles
with hidden smiles,
they know they're here to decorate sorrow
some of the deepest shades
of red and yellow grow here
they are called into being
to cheer me with their upturned faces
searching for a brighter tomorrow
eyes...

safe within a forest of bluebells
Today I stand
purple lingers around my feet
brown barks are standing strongly
tall and proud
brave giants of wonderful wood
the sky upstairs hides
proudly behind branches, leaves
my umbrella
a cover in those painful tragic times
the sky, and my mind
there is no option
I need to hide
just like the sky happily shrouded
beyond the giants and the leaves
separation of space
separation of worlds
and here I am, hiding
I'm in a safe world

Daffodils
For years I planted bulbs and dreamed of their golden hints of spring
To see the first sprouts of God's daffodils and the happiness they bring
The bulbs in the cold ground lie dormant just waiting for the spring days ahead
So they can sprout to grow and multiply their beauty onto the canvas they spread
Nourishment from the soil washed in the rain and warmed by the sun and God's loving hand
Each year I wait in hopes that their beauty would temporarily change the look of the land
The yellow splashes of daffodils upon the grass canvas of green ...
