Only, only softness come ’round my shoulders today
Yesteryear’s harsh caress wiped clean
By a silly child’s clinging arms
The cinnamon purr of a warm West Wind
And Eastern kindness brewed just for me Mystically

Snow Notwithstanding
June
You glamorous, glamorous gal
You rock the year’s runway
With days up to “there”
Baring your shoulders
Warm breeze in your hair
December’s wolf whistles
Don’t phase in the least
We beckon your beauty
Within wintry beast
Torn Pages
I know
The unwritten Book
Its dulled dust cover
With pages well-worn
Everyone’s read It
In the questioning eyes and
On the stiff shoulders of
Others
Our names are all written inside
Clear, permanent ink
Identities edited
Feathers smoothed
What you expect of me
What I expect of you and
The consequences for failing
I know
When we see The Sun
And warmly shrug our shoulders
I know I’m in good company
That Book always scared us
So we skipped school
I know we often got busted
But here we all are today
Repurposing Books
Tonight
Be healed
Outside
Under the stars
Or the stars above the clouds
With warmth
And friends
Around your neck or underfoot
Be healed
This Haiku: Their Whimsy Way
He: “You’re beautiful.”
She: Wiping away the rain,
blows an “I know.” kiss.
This Haiku: Dewey Feet
I’m imagining
You taste like fresh-cut green grass
With Sugar swirled in
