Within this sacred dome of love,
we share the blessings from above.

We call it home, and there we strive
to nurture joy and make it thrive.

Beyond the gritty world outside,
respect remains intact with pride.

Our little kitty tickles hearts,
while Mama bakes some apple tarts.

Poppies pollinate
here to consecrate
the lives lost across the sea.
Their families mourn
with the poppies worn
to symbolize bravery.

Because heroes' blood
mingled with the mud,
poppies bloom in Normandy.
They blanket the land
where men died in sand
to preserve their memory.

A mother cries
when precious son departs for war.

A mother cries
and will forever agonize
when Army rep knocks on her door.

The grieving shakes her to the core,
so mother cries.

The earth becomes a canvas for Mother Nature's art
         when Heaven pours its bounty upon the ground
and then brushes flower garden with lots of sunshine,
         'til sprouts of daffodils and pansies abound.

She paints my yard in vibrant green, gold, and magenta,
         bejeweled with resplendent morning dew drops,
viewed with wonder from my perch in back porch rocking chair
         while savoring scrumptious cherry lollipops.

When Little John, the leprechaun,
published his mystery novel
regarding forest episodes,
he became a celebrity.

Folks all gathered at the tavern
with Little John, the leprechaun,
retelling all the tales he wrote
about the pot of gold and such.

Community citizens praised
his civic generosity,
when Little John, the leprechaun,
shared his royalties with the town.

Because of all that has happened,
every youngster of his clan
wishes they could be as famous
as Little John, the leprechaun.

Family secrets
remained hidden in old box
on top closet shelf,

until Mama passed away
without any forewarning.

We found treasures there,
but those late discoveries
did not ease the pain.

Quiet descends
around the crowd
gathered to bid farewell
to another soldier.

They stand motionless
while chaplain says his piece
and bugler begins
the final salute.

Sleep
deprived
poets keep
schedule contrived
to find time to write,
anytime, anywhere--
in the middle of the night
while lounging in their underwear.

Open the door today,
and let the sun shine in
with big ol' toothy grin
to chase the dark away.

Open your heart today,
and let the love shine in,
so the joy can begin
before you're old and gray.

My uncle Jeb went overseas
to fight against Vietnamese,
where battle pitch was amplified
when outside influences tried
to turn the conflict on its side.
Beware the spider's tangled trap,
or you will be one sorry chap.

Our brave young soldiers could not hide
from Agent Orange herbicide,
which spread upon the summer breeze
and later caused severe disease
for those engaged with enemies.
Beware the spider's tangled trap,
or you will be one sorry chap.
