Picturing you in my mind’s eye, I see your two-year-old self. With eyes bright and curious–your pure, innocent soul trusting in me to keep you safe, hold you from harm and then let you go to explore and grow. The love that comes sweeping through me is joyous– my heart quivers with the memories of [...]

Saving Trees
Used to be when I would write I’d make mistakes, scratch out, erase Wadded up, thrown away Countless papers–what a waste Now by only pressing “delete” I save a tree My entry for Monkey Man’s 160: http://petzoldspracticalprose.blogspot.com/

Broken In Two
Long ago relationship broken in two Years of believing–I thought that I knew Some days time heals no wounds Intimate heart open to you Worrisome thoughts about you ensued Long ago relationship broken in two Cherished feelings turned into blue Unfeeling selfishness took over too Some days time heals no wounds Stunned disbelief was my [...]

Strawberries and Cream
Buying strawberries fresh from the market Mindful of bruises or soft mushy spots Firm, ripe red berries are my shopping agenda Feeling lucky they’re on sale today Two cartons brought home free of blemishes Finishing dinner I look to the task Of preparing those berries for a fruitful dessert Emptying them gently in the blue [...]

Cuba
Not so far from my home Lies a sparkling tropical isle A natural beauty rivaling our own Surrounded by the Atlantic and Caribbean seas The Gulf of Mexico completes the watery ring Sands for miles of fine white powder Meets pale teal water beckoning you in Palm trees wave in sultry breezes Culture rich from [...]

Unseen Predator
Unseen predator looms from the shadows, as I fumble with the door latch, frantic with fear– hidden apparition approaching ever near.

Cuckoo Clock
Cuckoo clock with shifting eyes Counts the minutes with deep, heavy sighs Stuck upon the wall all day His hands committed to work–no play Watching life around him fly He ticks each tock so we rely If he should lag just for a minute Intolerance will be his penance Wishful thinking is all he can [...]
