Oliver strolled to the highest mountain To seek out a magical sight. It was a mountain greener than the greenest of pastures, It spoke of goodness and light. From the mountain-top Oliver saw the cliffs, Far to the west they stood. On top a four-leafed clover found By the wee man wearing a hood. A […]

Blood
An eerie sound of silence Came over the sky Standing just inside the door Not knowing what I’d find A couple lying out of bed On top of bed-sheets, I was told Strangers that had left a thread Betwixt – between the fold Was this my lot, was this my place Nothing natural ‘bout […]
Pictures and words
Words, they drew me unto you An easel read to me A letter, brush A page, a stroke Mono-syllabically Delight, to write A bird, in flight A feather on the floor Chapter, aloud In front of crowd More come through open door Sit anywhere Drawn to share On easel is a portrait […]

What I’d give to find a Queen For a Kingdom, almost lost Sweet reflection, I have seen Of femininity, embossed Gentle care, emotive strength The sun grows ever stronger Queen or Kingdom, is that my choice? The days grow ever longer Whereupon the sun goes down A Princess now awaiting To relieve the King from […]
