I stand stunned
in awe
as you
sleekly shimmer by
in a fabulous flurry
of lustrous  lapis blue
and jubilant  jade green
not sure where you are
headed
knowing that
wherever you wind up
glamour glides
along as a
  constant companion

They are like the sparkling fairies of the insect world aren't they ?

Mid Morning Glory

hot lovin lip lick
in the AM
wings it’s way
into my
mouth
hot
sweet
fake buffalo
real chicken
call my mouth
your stomping grounds

I am a foodie.No regrets, and unashamedly so I can write about a good snack apparently!

Between Worlds

yesterdays  seem
so long behind
today  is  close at hand
tomorrow is a heartbeat away
if   luck holds true
sandwiched
within the layers of years
try to find
what  could get me through
this daily
mortal toil

I find myself using my past sad , or glad to help me through todays. Wicked storms make sunshine ever so much sweeter.

Oh, No !

I thought
with a jolt
not a single caper
to be found
the utter shame
of my sauce
lacking   zip
the lid comes off
with disdainful
faces
gathered round
a  hot   ***
of culinary
blame

pride in my kitchen creations displayed here !

Delight

unfolds  on my face
every night
zig zagging
through
dusky skies
a summer's bounty of fireflies
flight pattern
known only to you
my camera cannot catch
your electric dance
turning  that  copse
between the yards
by chance
from the neighbors
****** decor
into  rustic country  charm
all along
their  laundry lines
drying  pants

Today's poem took on a rhyme scheme somehow !

Sweet Pyro

lights my fire
every log placed just
right
stoked with attention
to detail
those wild flames
in your eyes
speak volumes
loves and lives
lost and found
a kind face
eventually embraced
by the golden red glow
of burning embers
and sticky sweet
melted marshmallow
fingers

This was written the other day , and it is about my fiance . His time in the boy scouts makes his fire building skills excellent. I have a picture of him over a fire with the flames making this awesome shot from a trip to several years ago we took, and subsequent pictures of other fires he has made that brought about this poem.

Nutty Conversations

tossed around
like empty peanut shells
between a greedy hound girl
and the local squirrel riff raff
staging a hissy fit
territorial disputes run amuck
so much fuss
the elder pup stands firm
barks to never surrender
her claim to the lucky stash
all the while her feathered foes
swoop down
and steal them both blind.

true story ...my senior blind grand pup soph and a local squirrel in a snack fracas when a bird takes the opportunity to break the stalemate
