| We all want peace, or so we say, but peace is an elusive prize, here today, gone tomorrow, like a gaggle of migrating geese, leaving naught but sorrow. Dictators have no regard for peace when it comes to expanding their control. Tranquility is shattered when a crazy man opens fire on a prayer meeting at church. A quiet drive to work turns deadly when a reckless driver triggers a case of road rage. Here's wishing you peace in your travels, until it unravels, again. Notes ▶︎ |

| The sun always shines in her eyes and lights the path to paradise that we create. The joyful sparkle in her voice triggers a desire to rejoice and seal my fate.

Adrift in a fluid state of lofty expectations, swells of disappointment and doubt relentlessly wipe out the spirit on our timeless quest for meaning in a meaningless world. Concordia withholds her blessing until comprehension is unfurled and the bounty of understanding allows our uniqueness to be heard with a flash of relief. Embrace the gift of imagination and shoot the tube, dancing with the ocean of poetry. |
| Azaleas blossom in the spring, Producing flood of vibrant hues. Rain provides manna to help them grow, Inspiring poet with dazzling views-- Lavender explodes and robins sing. Soggy days help make words flow, Hunkered down in writing space, Occupied with minute details, Watching the rain do its thing, Embellished with creative gales, Racking his brain in linguistic chase So readers' confidence will grow. 12 lines |
| A long-awaited moment at first sight after birth, when hopes and dreams become reality. A very happy moment at first sound after birth, confirming life rages in newborn child. One more life on this earth brings tears of joy. |
The chirp of robin's chicks in blossoming dogwood tree outside my bedroom window gets my brain percolating, like coffee brewing in the kitchen. |
