Forget Me Not
Red, not blue,
was her favorite
color; and
petunias,
to attract more hummingbirds.
I will not forget.

Night Vision
Falling snow
in the light of night
creating
hues of blue
reflecting a bright darkness –
takes my breath away.

FOUNDATION OF MY HEART
Iowa ~
where the tall corn grows.
lightning bugs
dance at night,
and the work ethic is strong ~
it’s where I’m from–home.

Sun sinks on
distant horizon,
crickets chirp
lullabies.
The dreams of today rest be-
neath a wishful moon.

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.
