Easter
It’s Easter time Palm Sunday, in fact I read about You And think about You I have to react The grass is green Flowers blossom Sun shines But still, so much is not right People are mean The poor are forgotten So many minds are rotten Not all is fine But You’re constantly in my…

Salmonwood Trees
I was driving down Colley Avenue today Mid-March The wind whipping away Cold still, bitterly so The dogwoods are starting to bloom White popcorn on the limbs A sure sign Summer is coming soon All of a sudden I hear a loud boom There’s a large log lying in the street I abandon my car…

Ownership
She was 22 Fed up, stuffed, not knowing what to do Her bladder cramped and her head hurt The doctors all told her – “Take this, it’ll work.” But the more pills she took, The worst she felt Her body kept aching She saw the thin healthy people and said “These must be the cards…

Daffodil
Is it spring yet?It’s hard to say I woke up this morning to a warm day But it was cold again by sunset I walked around the block Fixated on pain, oppression, the forces of evil Deep in my thoughts I saw you there, Daffodil Bouncing along gleefully You’re in front yards and under trees…

Snowflakes
If these snowflakes could talk I wonder what they’d say They are a rare sight here Gentle and so beautiful Tameless I find myself stopping to peer They float, they dance, they change direction mid-air Like reckless squirrels walking the telephone wire or dodging the streets Or like 8 billion people traversing the earth Do…

Hospital Ocean
I’m in an ocean But it’s not blue Unless you consider the actual blues Depression and the color of the pills we use to treat it Panic surrounds me I feel defeated There’s little sun Behind these four walls and the computer screens The people here look to me But I’m no one The constant…

The Baby
You may think that’s a waterfall Or maybe a rat in the wall It very well could be the latter Either way, we’re sleep deprived, so what does it matter There’s a puddle at my feet And a furry bundle at your head We long for sleep but find none in this bed There’s a…

On Finding a Spouse
I’m not an expert so I won’t pretend But I’ll share what I do know My own experiences – my daily trend So many want love So many want a true friend So I say friendship is the best place to begin We’ve been married nearly 8 years now Me and the man I love…
