Autumn has arrived.
Trees decked out in Joseph’s coat
Reds, yellows, orange, rust, green
And every hue in between.
Leaves dancing and fluttering in the wind
Drop to earth
In a dizzy spin.
This wonderful display
Is short lived.
Winters winds will soon move in,
Earth takes on a
Different glow
With the arrival of first white snow.
Bundle up and brave the cold
Use both hands
Your hat to [...]

By Heart 4 poetry on July 18, 2009
My heart is heavy
and I pray for the weak.
My heart has a burden
as I pray for strength.
My heart is broken
for the child out on the street,
who has no food or home
or shoes on his feet.
My heart is weary
for my journey is so long.
But my heart is ready for heaven.
My Home Sweet Home.
My heart won’t be [...]

Lets make believe, that we are glad-
And the world is managed right-
That we are over “Feeling Bad”-
LETS JUST BE GLAD….TONIGHT.
The world will little care, when we are gone,
The winds, the fields, the skies, will be the same-
And youth will laugh again, with gleaming eyes,
AND……LOVE WILL SEE THE RAINBOW…AND THE RAIN.
There is no land on earth, [...]

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

A- bomb absent to God
present star’s floating light.
Back-cross wears nothing
naked to silence.
Cemeteries count the dead.
Ready for civilization.
Clamshells for bullets.
Masks made from cedar dome.
Draft- horse mermaids polishing
shoes, silver in their eyes.
Velcro imagination.
Exposed butterflies.
Rainbows echo.
Countless earth bares
free life.
Frantic life.
Bloom referring to
beauty.
Judging colors.
Reformation from birth.
Recollect intermission.
Follow inner dreams.
Ravish shade.
Straddle the night’s stone.
Blind motionless sun.
Glazier angels glued.
Glossily disfigured shadows.
Red-leaf [...]

Walking by a candy shop,
The sight of gumdrops made me stop,
And with a penny in my hand,
I entered into Candyland.
The smell of chocolate was distinct,
And then a sight caused me to blink,
As if in answer to my prayers,
I saw a million chocolate bears.
Some were dark and some were light,
And some were very, very white,
Some were [...]

“True story. Paul was a familiar character in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia in the 1970’s. I saw him many times walking the highway between the lakes. One day I gave him a ride.”
See the man walking down the highway.
He wears only ragged shorts and worn-out shoes.
His hair is long and stringy,
His skin is [...]
