cracks and crevasses
crinkled and cotton
small spaces
long forgotten
a seed is planted
it’s root go deep
it becomes a part of us
a part, we want to keep
it is not an accident
it is not luck
these tiny places
are in the largest
part, of my heart. MT
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets is. LC

Pussy willows
Cattails
Runny jam and spiders.
Sunshine
Snowflakes
Raindrops and showers.
Gravel roads
Spiderwebs
Earwigs on flowers.
Troubadours
Trumpets
Crazy horses trotting.
Tulip bulbs
Hunger years
Small children crying.
Clouds above
Heaven above
God's arms open wide.
Amongst the cattails
In the spring
Nature pops up
New life begins.
Looking at the world
through rose coloured glasses.
As the winds and clouds roll by.
Like thoughts and ideas,
they make smooth passes.
My feelings;
like dots in the sky.
Surrounding yourself pleasantly
is difficult sometimes.
The flowers and the trees,
are not always in rhyme.
My expectations are like chimes,
in what a world finds fair.
So different is the light
that my daydreams share.
Three small children
Bring home
Three small pines.
The trees were planted in a line.
Side by side, the children grew.
Side by side, grew the trees.
That first earth day,
It has created a beautiful background.
For so many
a wonderful thing.
Family gatherings,
Children playing,
Music in the yard.
A beautiful couple
saying, 'I do'.
From a seed,
into a sapling.
From a sapling,
into a tree.
From a tree,
into a stump.
From a stump,
into earth.
To provide nourishment,
for the next tiny seed.
We spent a wonderful, mid April day, discovering beautiful Cooper’s Falls.
Taking advantage of an unseasonably warm day. No mosquitoes, and no blackflies.
Ontario, yours to discover!
Two swans dancing.....
In a farmer’s flooded field…..
To The Thawing Wind by Robert Frost
Come with rain, O loud Southwester!
Bring the singer, bring the nester;
Give the buried flower a dream;
Make the settled snowbank steam;
Find the browns beneath the whites;
But whatever you do tonight,
Bathe my window, make it flow,
Melt it as the ice will go;
Melt the glass, and leave the sticks
Like a hermits crucifix;
Burst into my narrow stall;
Swing the picture on the wall;
Run the rattling pages o’er;
Scatter poems on the floor;
Turn the poet out the door.
White is white
Black is black
Grey is grey
White is not White
It it winter
It is ivory
It is bone
It is bright
Black is not black
It is raven
It is dusk
It is ebony
It is midnight
Grey comes through in many shades
It is blurred
It is clear
It is smudged
It is dear
Grey is like a newspaper
It is black and white
And read all over.
