Enough Pillows To Be Cloud Nine

ENOUGH PILLOWS TO BE CLOUD NINE

I truly
hate to admit my
guilty plea

it seems silly, but to me
it’s simply divine.

NIGHT TRAVELS

beneath a blanket
of a star-filled sky

my heart soars

on a spotlight
of moonbeams

SO-LA/TE

Do-Re-Mi
The tune was (von) trapped
in her head.
Yawning, she
gathered her favorite things,
and slipped off to bed.

WAR WITHIN

Don’t panic!
was her plea, to self.

A poem
cannot write

So the battle raged.

DAY OF DISCOVERY

With eyes closed
I learn how to see
the world ‘round
me; with an
open imagination,
new discoveries.
