Oh what fun!

A sudden burst of energy
A galley of girls
In cute skirts
Short shorts
Colorful summer dresses
Pretty purses clutched under their arms
Goggles on their foreheads
Crowding around
The center table
All the excitement
Bending over each other
Images of singing in the chapel

One of them is getting married tomorrow

Ten minutes of laughter
Then they were gone
What fun to be young
Again.......

He is so cute

My nanaji
Is so cute

She says
Her big black eyes

Shining with love
Brimming with memories

Of childhood dreams
Hands full of treats

He never complains
Or gives a harsh look

Just smiles, watches TV
And enjoys his gum

Never misses his evening out
With his buddies

Garden stroll

This Spring day is a gift
To enjoy simple pleasures
A stroll through the silver bells
A 2 year old in pink smocked overalls
Playing in the burnished copper fountain
Trying to capture the lights of the setting globe
The hot pink tulips blush orange in delight or shyness
For couples have circled them hand in hand stealing a kiss
I pick up a Rosa Bella Camellia to press it like years gone by
And wrap
A soft shawl of blue
Violet pansies woven sweetly
Like myriad of happy memories lovingly
Stitched together to give me hope that you will
Always think of me in moments like this when we
Work together with green ice late and caramel macchiato

The Turtle Pool

After a cup of organic coffee
From the gift shop...I feel refreshed
My mind finally still enough to absorb
The serene surroundings of 'Rushton Garden'
The setting sun winks at my computer screen
Glinting through a canopy of tall oaks
The circle of birches sway in the August breeze
Their barks very chapped
Perchance in need of- plant vaseline

Seven bees keep us constant company
Stirred up by the coffee aroma, your minty scent
The bottle of orange juice in your knapsack
The water cascade is soothing
I stretch a moment and look deep into the pebbled pool
No turtles there, not even in the crevices
All I see is the reflection of rushes and the brown metal sign
'Please do not to poke or harass the turtles'
Where are they I wonder- adjusting my glasses
