I'm into the arts, poetry, nature, science, good books and more.

I follow the scent
of someone
I used to know
until it takes me
to a poem

inside
a ball of wool
is a poem
someone forgot
to sew

Monday’s #BirdOfTheDayTheme is #warblers— any warbler, else #yelloweyes— any bird with yellow eyes.

My choice is a Great Blue Heron
(Ardea herodias) seen recently at the
6 Mile Cypress Slough Preserve Park
in Ft Meyers, Florida on 10-14-25

a moo
from a black cow
and a caw from an old crow
meet in the darkening sky
and understand
each other

somehow
the wave in me
breaks free
and takes my poems
to unknown shores

one night
I found a stray poem
hungry, looking lost and
wandering in an alley

I fed it, brought it home,
taught it a few tricks
and now it follows me
wherever I roam

one day
a man grew old
and could no longer climb
his favorite mountain
so the mountain grew wings
and learned to fly
and now comes to the man

somewhere
above the clouds
there are poems waiting
for the right time
to come down

after getting
lost on a journey
we find our way by following
the scent of old poems
burning in a bonfire

she builds a sculpture
of red and yellow leaves
and asks everyone to take a leaf
until they're all gone
and spring returns

after the sun sets
we bury a red leaf
deep in the ground
and dig it up when
the sun begins to rise
