Hummingbird
Fold me like you always have,
Run your nails to set the creases,
Shape me to the form you crave,
Bend me into the art of your wishes,

My form forever yours to toy with,
I conform to your will and desire,
Expose my surfaces, above or beneath,
I will always be there for you to admire,

I can be flexible or I can be stiff,
That depends on what you want,
I am here to help fill your rift,
The one who says you can when you can’t,

Craft that which you seek of me,
I am but your art, your origami.

Remnants of Helene are in the Northeast with gray skies and rain
September is saying farewell
Poet’s walk must continue
Until she came upon an imperfectly placed artwork by her feet
Mother Nature’s wonder
Amber
Canary
Honey
Sunshine
Biscotti
Sepia
Fawn
Ruby
Burgundy
Cherry
Currant
Rose
M­ixed in with good measure
Splendidly arranged in Mother Nature’s Mosaic

Once a jelly
Escaped from it's mold,
It wasn't very good
With the rules
Been
Told

Heading to the ocean
To be
Weightless
And
Free

Sliding across land
And eventually
Landing
On  
Sand

A small climb
Into the
Brine

Floating around
A jellyfish
Was found,
It was love at first
Wobble
And
Bobble

In no time at all
Some offsprings ensured,  
Who was to
Tell them  
It couldn't happen?

And as they matured,  
Came to be
Called
Gelateenagers

birds feast on daybreak
worms; threads of song borne from dirt

People say things like:
Where did that time go?
Things are moving so fast...
and it's true, and they are,
but when you're in the moment
they're not. It is only when
you look back or look in the mirror,
that you notice time has truly passed,
and you see the grey hairs;
and exclaim: "Oh, I am old now!"
