The fog is rather
Magical and mystical,
With an eerie tone.

Frog resting on a
Lily pad in quiet pond—
Floating right along.

Finally — she would
Birth triplets. The subtle twist
Of human nature.

Her crosses were hard,
Rather difficult to bear.
But faith gave her strength.

Whose grief do men help
To bear but those who, also,
Have helped to bear theirs.

For September 11

Moments
Of silence in
Sad memories of the
September eleven horror.
God Bless.

(Cinquain)

Thanksgiving’s Special

The month
Of November
Embraces a special
Time, when family and friends—all
Give thanks.

Poems Are Like Sunshine

Poems are
Like the sunshine
Upon a heart that is
Intertwined with grief—to bring it
Comfort.

Hornbill (a Cinquain)

Huge “bill”—
Strong, colorful.
Native of Africa,
Nesting high in a knobthorn tree
To breed.

Night’s Silence

The silence of the night
Is such a delight,
Which often ignites
A fire of inspiration
That tends to burn bright.
