Everybody’s poems



It was a humid night
And it rained lots of love 
And when we woke up
It was raining light
So the seeds of the poems
Planted last night
Grew up like weeds
At the side of the road

There is no shame
To bend down
Pick some up
To flavor your cooking
There is so much light
They should be growing 
Poems in everybody’s yard
Together with grass

Mustang Lady

Mustang lady

She rode a yellow mustang
Her voice was speckled with dust
But her words flowed like honey 
And she had a knack for holding
The reins real tight, a sweet way
That barely upset anybody 
Who’s ever been around her 
To see her and love her
and survive with their soul never
Intact - but touched by the 
Lady who rode the yellow mustang 



April Breeze


April breeze

Love is the blushing petal
That carves its way up
In the cold April wind
Towards the sun
