Ride this one out
in my shadow I
dwell to rid the riotous
the world ungathered
sun salted days persevere
I laugh with the sun
Novel schemes
a misplaced comma
paperback writers aware
crows on the high-wire
raucous din storytelling
best seller novels
Awareness
imbibe thoughts honest
hear the light in the window
ignore the biased
lies will be lies will be lies
tis time to chant last stanzas
Ideas adrift
poetry a bridge
to empower perception
even our voices
gathered under bluest skies
betray common sense
Lollipop days
springtime frolicking
birds and bees, they soar with ease
strangers bid hello
fields of dreams and things
glimmering in the warm sun
the chasing of smiles
