1.
a thin branch full of leaves sanguine.
there’s a breeze. take flight
to do a fluttering
dance among the flowers
for the sun and random eyes.
2.
joy
is a hibernating bear
rising from dormancy
with a hungry smile
for a metamorphosis.
3.
imagination’s
a caterpillar
crawling
along borders,
across lakes, oceans …
where we meet,
inspiring and merging
creative words,
sounds
and images.
4.
have you been
to the parties
in Mexico, Zaire,
New Zealand
and Central Asia …
to Native America
where the Hopi’s
and
Navajo’s
were dancing for you …
as single girls
don
hairstyles
in your image
for suitors?
5.
nature
carved your wings of awe,
with your mind and heart
splashing them
with colors of delight:
lime and orange
with specks
of black and rouge,
an exquisite
sight to see. …
small.
delicate.
but a bit stronger
than first glances
assumed.
6.
so go on
fly on
let those wings
sing
a mid-summer song.
7.
go on fly on
i swear
there’s some drab places
in need
of your presence.
