Peace is lost, chaos reigns,
As masked voices protest
“We cannot breathe”.
Colors war with one another,
All seeking their rights,
As Covid looms, bringing death.
“Be gone from us!”
We cry out in desperation
Grieving for what used to be.

All
A color named “All”
Is my favorite choice
It has every hue
And shade that exists
“All” is my fav color

Friends-You and Me
You go to bed before the sun sets
I am a night owl, burning the midnight oil
Yet we are friends
You like hazelnuts, spice cake, and tea
I like licorice, mint and coffee
Yet we are friends
You like cool nights and enjoy the rain
I like it warm and enjoy hot summer days
Yet we are friends
You like flip flops and air conditioning
I like sneakers and natural air
Yet we are still friends
Your skin is a different color from mine
My skin is a different color from yours
Yet we are friends
We are all different
We are all unique
That’s what makes us each special
We all have likes and dis-likes
Our skin maybe a different color
But we can still all be friends
We can agree to disagree
Walk in friendship and love
And enjoy a life of harmony
Sharing with each other
Every nation, tribe, language and people.
For we are all God’s Masterpiece according to Ephesians 2:10

March’s Marquee
“Coming soon” the signs say
Bits of color speak loud and clear
As I walk the dreary way
Coming soon” the signs say
Birds sing of a brighter day
Spring color will soon be here
“Coming soon” the signs say
Bits of color speak loud and clear
Triolet
Busy Bee
I seem to be obsessed
By all the colors of Spring
Bee in my bonnet
I can be found snapping pics
In random neighbor’s yards
Tanka
Today it was so nice out again I just had to take a walk down the block to check out all the neighborhood yards to see how much Spring growth had appeared.
Well I was pleasantly rewarded as one neighbor had an abundance of vibrant
crocus blooming. The bees and I were happy and one even paused for a pic😊
Springtime Awakenings
Enjoying the new life
Springing up all around me
Singing and dancing
With the birds and daffodils
Shaking off winter doldrums
Tanka
Sometimes…
Sunsets like life,
End suddenly, shocking us
With bursts of color,
Or subtlely fade away
With faint hues of calm repose.

In the North
A phenomenon
The sky was speaking tonight
In soft blues and pinks
Haiku
Sunset tonight in my area must have been spectacular for as I looked out my North window I saw an amazing sky layered in blues and pinks. I can only imagine what the Western sky displayed!
Walking on Water and Oil
An explosion of color
Parking lot rainbow creations
Nature’s art in my path
Syllabic Verse
Another beautiful oil slick I happened to see today in a parking lot. This one is an explosion of color. So unique!
Uplifting Ambling
Mundane walking
Upon blacktop worn
I saw you shining
Bright like the sun
Right beneath my feet
Oil and water mixed
My colorless path
Transformed into
A sunny rainbow
