"Crystal clear" repeats in my mind,
Your lenses, crystal clear--
Twin orbs of blue, polished by tears
Of your lovely making
To tease my heart to plead for you
To spend eternity
With . . .

I am awed by your presence,
By the things that you do--
I am awed by your absence,
Left with the sense of you.

Crystal
Facets my love
Sparkling as time of day
Shifts colors to sing tones of life
Collected and dispersed on the instant
Your heart needs to know how I care
To share all radiance
With your own . . .

They didn't make a good beat but they were fascinating to watch! I wish I knew if they were trying to play music or competing in a racket contest.

Don't Stare, Dad
Inquisitive scan
Nets a pair of eyes that stare
Back with innocence,
A curious wonderment,
And a blink of disbelief

Muffin Trouble
Muffins
Have a habit
Of being on my plate
When I don't want them to be there
Because they are so good and I am not
And the cook has no sympathy
For my sensed addiction . . .

Saturday Morn'
Saturday morn' and its promise
A vibrato song of dawn bliss,
Trills as I yawn, pleased by the call,
Rise and slip down the shadowed hall
Warm night to dismiss by day's . . .

It Points the Way
Whither goes the bow
Compass planned and set with care
Now it points the way

Flower or Food
Chrysanthemums show
An ornamental beauty
That tastes delicious

As Water Ripples
The fisherman sleeps
In a gently bobbing boat
Dreaming of varnish
As fish eat and circles grow
Near a line that rarely moves

Yesterday's Pride
Upturned in a field
On uneven saw horses
Its paint mostly gone
The skiff waits to be toppled
When a horse leg collapses

Finding a Skiff's Past
Beneath peeling paint
Spar varnish gleams above spruce
Boards fit by a plane
Sixty five years ago now
In a summer before war

Coffee Klatch
Cream swirling around,
In stirred cup with time-worn chips,
Blending with coffee
Sipped by soul with laughing eyes
That smile over taste and words

Lazy Sun
No pretense was made
By the sun to greet morning
And warm my cold eyes
Though it was warned as I was
When the alarm clanged its call

The Book Not Read
The pages riffled
By a baffled pre-schooler
Net a joyous laugh
At the whir of blurred paper,
Entertainment beyond words

Dizzy
My heart
Spoke to my head
Too fast to understand
Everything I needed to hear
About you

Tickle for Tomorrow
Tickle
A "funny bone"
Or a "flight of fancy"
Into worlds we cannot yet see
But dream

Remnants in Fog
Morning light is low,
Misty world is loathe to go,
Let the sun burn bright,
Lift the fog to plant's delight,
What is left of them that grow

Lull
No chill
On the prairie,
Dead and awaiting white,
No wind to strip the illusion
Of calm
