Night Music

a symphony of stars --
your heart, in time
with mine

Lazy Sunday

snuggled
beneath his blanket
beneath his dog

Squeezed

ubiquitous green grasp
choking life from the trees:
deadly embrace of kudzu

Trick-or-Treat

on Halloween night
the North star guides our way
to smiles and candy

Post - Tempest

The storm sighs softly,
drawing her final breath;
exhaling leaves from the trees,
she cries herself to sleep.

Note: This poem was inspired by the poetry of Tina Nguyen.

Self-inflicted

on your desk, ninja stars

***

on your arm, faded scars

Squawk Thoughts

Dancing on wet sand, seagulls pivot,
flap their wings above the incoming tide.

***

Their webbed toes tickled by foam,
seagulls give chase as the tide runs away.
