Worry masks peace
Anger masks calmness
Lies mask truth
Doubt masks trust
Fear masks opportunity
Bitterness masks love

Procrastinator’s Apology
I try, I really do
I have good intentions
It’s true, really true
I try, I really do
There’s just no time to follow through
I’m filled with apprehensions
I try, I really do
I have good intentions

What Life is About
Life is finding joy
Learning to dance in the rain
Smiling while wet

And So The Rain Begins
No end in sight
Just rain, constant rain
Pouring rain
Pounding rain
Everyday, every hour
Just rain, constant rain

The Rains Return
There are gloomy skies in Portland
The persistent rains have come back
And many people think it’s grand
There are gloomy skies in Portland
In pouring rain some love to stand
And their love for rain doesn’t lack
There are gloomy skies in Portland
The persistent rains have come back

(I was thinking of my grandson Dylan when I wrote this poem. He loves the rain so very much)
Juggling
So much I want to do
I’m trying to do too much
Minutes just too few
So much I want to do
Deadlines coming due
And dreams seem out of touch
So much I want to do
I’m trying to do too much

October’s First Day
On her first day of life
She washes away September
October rains fall

AUTUMN ACROSTIC
A squirrel gathers acorns among
Umber oak leaves as
Temperatures drop
Under cloudy skies
Man and beast prepare for winter
Nature readies for its year end sleep

Fascinates me
Words full of
Potency
Leap silently off the written page
Into hearts and minds
