I'm taking an art journaling class for "for grown ups" and enjoying putting drawings, photos, painting with my poetry. / It's cathartic and relaxing to come up with an original painting, doodle, or take photos and use an art pad to (diary) journal what's going on in your life. It's only paper, so I just get creative and enjoy! / / There's a sample below to go with the hummingbird picture I painted..."

*We are all poets
In the same boat
The reason we write
Just to stay afloat
There's no other reason
Of that I know
For us as poets
To stay afloat
So draw the anchor
Hoist the sail
We'll all rhyme our way
Clear outta here
Sailing the pantoum oceans
With the sonnet seas
Casting our lot
In the poetic breeze
Steering riddling rudders
Across verses in waves
Until the very last day
We're made to walk the plank
As we are all poets
In the same boat
Trying our best
Just to stay afloat*

She is a ghost within her own life
There, but never seen
She sought love in all the wrong places
Disappearing a little bit more
With each failed love affair
Then one day she was seen
She was loved!
Or so she thought
Now, frozen in fear
She becomes less visible
As love dies
With each harsh word spoken
One tear drop at a time
Each day she becomes insubstantial
A Ghost -
There, but not seen

My sleep has left me
As I lay beneath the moon
The lone wolf watches

A hummingbirds whizz
Special delivery from Mom
Her love calms my heart

onion vapor tears
steal my raw emotion while
exposing my soul

the day is slow
the clouds barely drift
shadows lengthen
with minute pace
we sit together
and ponder life
grass grows before us,
tea brews in a cooling ***
the cat stretches,
rolls over and
falls back into
blu-cat dreams
the world sighs....
such a wonderful
lassitude

A Hello Poetry song
I came on the site today
To see what I could see
I wasn't quite sure how I felt
A bit depressed and wee
I went through my poetfriends
Find someone who could help
Read something uplifting
To reboot myself
I looked at a poet
Who reposts other's ink
And sure enough, I found some stuff
The whole kitchen sink!
I went down the repost rabbit hole
Just to have a look
Down the repost rabbit hole
To read some people's work
Down the repost rabbit hole
To find a different way
Down the repost rabbit hole
I learn more each day!
I'm quite sure you've been there
Looking for someone who
Has ♥'d one of your poems
And found someone NEW!
If you love adventure
And like to be free
Come down the repost rabbit hole
Yes, come along with me!
I'm down the repost rabbit hole
Where it never ends
Down the repost rabbit hole
Finding my new friends
Down the repost rabbit hole
I'm no longer blue
Down the repost rabbit hole
My next friend is YOU!

A garden's promise
needs much attention daily
to fight evil weeds

i may go to pieces
i may fall apart
i may lose direction
and miss out on the mark
i may wander off the path
take a completely different road
end up further than i have
from what it is i know
i may look behind me
more often than i should
in a last ditch effort to find me
if i only could
i may give this a bit more thought
as it all comes into play
give awe and wonder to the four way stop
then choose another way

Black Widow hurt me
crawling through that slimy web
I'm enslaved no more
