a Tanaga form poem -- Little Ducks didn't know



Sitting down by the river
the Little Ducks did quiver
They'd ordered a John boat from
Toys R Us, had nothing come

They complained to Uncle Sam
Mail fraud,  nothing worse than scam
They'd coughed up bucks on a whim
Now Little Ducks learned to swim

Hidden ~~ a Poem for Friday

"...and the very folds of the curtains
contained secrets and sighs." -Anais Nin

Hidden

Something's hiding here
Hiding behind the curtain
Just a pIle of dust

Something hard to hide
Some sweep it under the rug
Hoping none will see

Or in the closet
Waiting for it to come out
Secret no one tells

Things always come out
Things that can't be hidden, it's
Now or later on

Spring is coming -- Poem for Tuesday

Spring is coming

Spring flowers are blooming
Trees are budding, some bloom
Pear trees are dressed in white

Cherry prefers her pink
Redbuds have no fruit, they're
pretty sight with the rest

Dried brown grass is greening

Oh yes, birds are singing
Singing their cheery songs

Spring is here in the south

Working warming ways north
Pushing winter to sea  

(Redbud tree in neighbor's backyard)
