Under the Moon of My Youth

UNDER THE MOON OF MY YOUTH

Carefree days,

nights with no worries.

We danced with

fireflies

while the moon kept watch over

innocence of youth.

Owl’s Dream

OWL’S DREAM

Midnight sky
with full moon so bright.
Crickets chirp,
bullfrogs croak,
a soft wind rustles the leaves.
Who’s watching you? Me.

Hard Freeze

Why is it

whenever I want

a soft serve

cone, the darn

machine seems to be broken?

An ice cream headache!

Kindling

KINDLING

Sparks of fire
grow from embers’ glow ~
their midnight
encounters
move from soft nudge to being
hard pressed and breathless.

The Way We Go

THE WAY WE GO

we linger
a moment longer
with each step
down the walk ~
neither wants to say goodbye
in case it’s the last
