A Summer Picnic
an early summer's day
we drove along on a gravel road
far back into the country
to enjoy a picnic
while snapping a few pictures
wildflowers, buttercups and dandelions
then a lone horse by a fence
farther on a field of jersey cows
by a red barn, with an amazing blue sky
then we arrive at our favourite spot
we stop by the old pond
to enjoy our picnic with a show
so enchanting the peacocks dance
for the white queen with blue eyes

The Knight Speaks
'Thee know not of such a place
thy pleasure, to look upon thy face
for the king thy must see
there awaits thou destiny
thy journey carries thee there
oh dear maiden of flaxen hair'
the handsome knight cries
the maiden looked into his eyes
as the dolphin swam passed the shore
smiled and said, 'speak no more'
into the horizon, the seagulls flew
clouds passed over the sky of blue
she released the dove to fly free
up into the air and over the sea

Andromeda
O Princess Andromeda
to see the beauty in the stars
from so very long ago
I wait with great anticipation
for the princess I wish to see
is in the sparkling constellation‘
oh it is the beautiful Andromeda
she- a sacrifice to Cetus
of the deep blue sea
quickly found herself in chains, then
saved by her new love Perseus
she was happy to be free
and what now remains
of the ruler of men
is her portrait in the stars
with Andromeda's claim to fame

What Is Life?
please help with this question
what is your suggestion
sure everyone wishes to know really
could it be where you drink freely
from an ever cool mystical fountain
a fellow poetess says, it is a mountain
where the winds blow ever so gently
i have heard others say differently
it is a puzzle - it is a test
please give the answer you think is best
my friends, what do you say?
you do not have to answer today
please consider and sleep on this
i think life is just for showing- love and bliss

Love Found on Caicos
The beautiful princess rode her
unicorn Stardust
under the full dreamy
moon
On the white sandy beaches
of Caicos
With a gentle sea breeze
kissing her
From her head to her
toes
With a view of the pirate ship on
the aqua blue sea
She saw the rogue pirate
debonaire
Give her a wink and
a smile
The handsome pirate with the
cute derriere

A Knight At The Seashore
the knight came from the enchanted forest
onto the shore, came the galloping horse
with a handsome knight still unknowing
could this be the sparkling castle?
the castle of the most famous king
the seabreeze was welcoming
with the waves so gentle
the horse slowly went onward
watching the seagulls fly overhead
out to sea, in the distant horizon
the sun was lower, as if going for a dive
with light playing in the water
the knight saw only a fair maiden
in the far distance, walking alone on the shore

And He Does
I know a fabulous guy
He has my dreams
He has my thoughts
Even though we never met
He makes me smile
He makes me laugh
Where is he?
How can this be
I feel I miss him
I feel I would kiss him
Now more than ever
I imagine his voice so nice
A voice of musical quality
With a personality of a tiger
Tigers are my favourite
So wild and carefree

A Dream Never to Forget
A demon most terrifying
Would not leave me alone
Last night I ran and ran
For a mad chase was on
His love I totally denied
I was running for my life
Looking for a place to hide
With no plan for survival
In a second I froze
In a whirlwind of indecision
I stood almost defeated
In a mist of confusion
Knew he wanted to take me
In the dead of night
Straight to the other side
All void of sun light

Friends
In the fairy kingdom of the secret realm
the princess has very special friends
honeybees and butterflies
ladybugs and fireflies
oh yea she has enemies also
they live by the cool blue lake
there is python poison snake
mad widow spider
mr. green lizard
and one mean wizard
who all wish to take over
the fairy princess kingdom
and end the fairy freedom
then there is venus-
the fly trap
who isn't taking anyone's side
she wants to eat them all

Three Very Special Gifts
three magi with three symbolic gifts
gave chase to a bright star in the east
bringing special gifts of gold, myrrh, and frankincense
all to a newborn king
who became high priest
oh yes! these magi had very good sense!
this newborn king gave the angels a reason to sing
the world a reason to rejoice
then the exclamation of a great voice-
this is my beloved son, in whom i am well pleased! ! !
for this priest- i will go to my knees
and give my soul's devotion-
for the gifts of peace
love
and eternal salvation!
