Trout and Dragons

Herons pirouette
As tadpoles gain their sea legs
Trout leap for dragons

Bees and Sisters

Sunflowers squabble
Jealous of their big sisters
Bees think they're silly

Midnight snack

I don't want to be backup
I am not a late night snack
Something you nibble on to soothe yourself when the walls collapse

I don't want to be a pipe dream
Just a childish fantasy
Something you keep in your back pocket, that's already history

I don't want to be either of those things
Yet I am both, my dear
Milk and cookies after midnight
and crumbs that magically disappear

New neighbor

A downey woodpecker just checked out the place
It's a two bedroom, and he loves the space
Now he has a cozy place to sleep at night
And I finally have a neighbor I like

I'm actually super excited the little guy moved in. Four years that birdhouse sat vacant. Wow. I sound so lame. Sorry

Our Song

I'm writing our song
The moonlight is the rhythm
Stars the mnemonics

Reflection

Don't date Dracula
He's devilishly handsome
But he won't reflect
