  Spring is brighter days filled with cheerful sunlight Springing clocks forward in time Golden rays shining into the late evenings Warmth and light guiding new life Spring is growing, changing, and teeming with life Flowering buds turn shades of green Air filling with with nature’s music Baby creatures learning to walk and breathe Spring is…

• Wickedly Cool Experiences

  I don’t go to a lot of live performances. I suppose the last performance I saw was a recital for the sister of the kid I work with. Her and her mother did a piece together, her mother on piano and her on violin. I don’t get a chance to go to a lot of…

• Circles

  CirclesHead spinningVision swimmingGoing in circles Trapped in a loopBanging on the wallsRun through the doorJust to fall down the stairs Slipping and slidingEndlessly fallingClawing at the wallsBack into the dark Am I getting better?Or only getting worse?Two steps forwardTwo steps back Schedules and timersIdeas and actionsFinally getting better?Then it all crashed House is a messNothing’s…

• Beach Haikus

  Water soaking sandsWaves crashing against the shoresBirds searching for food Few clouds in the blueSeagulls fly through sunny skiesDipping into water Wind blows over shoresA girl stands in Marram grassFabric flows freely Children laugh and playInflatable balls flyingSplashing as they wade Boards cut through the wavesBalancing to keep the rushTwists and turns to cheers Footprints…

• Woven Stories

  Sifting through fields of LilacFingers brushing fragile petalsPlucking perfect fragrant stemsDelicately placed in a woven frame Little feet scurry through the rowsTaunting pretend monsters to followLaughing at the face of deathImaginary heroes saved the world Mother works with steady handsThe scissors glide through thick greensSnip. Snip. Petals come looseWicker fills with shades of lavender Bright…

• Home Inside my Heart

  They say home is where the heart is So is home inside of me? I guess it’s more complicated Than they say it ought to be If I’m alone or with others Home’s the place where I feel safe Where I can always be myself No matter what the case There are always loving peopleWho…

• The Foggy Mirror

  Steam climbs to the ceilingWarm water gushing through the faucetClothes are falling to the floorA clear mirror reflects it all Stepping through the curtainThe light begins to fade behind meWater dripping down my backThe mirror is now out of sight Shampoo runs through my hairSoap and bubbles cleanse my dirty skinRinse away the grimy dayThe…
