Dressed for Success: Poem

 

Dressed for Success

I want to put on new clothes

I want to put today

Something different –

Perhaps a reckless joy,

Something bright and big

To fit and do

Something different

Like a dress for success.

Cold cannot touch

What warmth has claimed,

When butterfly kisses

The dandelion wishes.

Small Things Strength: Poem

 Small Things Strength

The door is bigger than a lock.

A lock is bigger than a key,

Yet a small key

Opens the entire house.

I think and pause. –

Big problems

Do not always need

Big actions.

One small thought

And one small step

Can change everything.

Do not doubt the power

Of small things strength.

Alliance: Poem

 Alliance: Poem

I am fluent

In silence.

I do not need

A license.

Communication shortened

At a distance.

Love proved existence

In text and sentence.

Quiet. Silent. Letters.

Two in the darkness.

Relaxed

In alliance.

Wild Dandelion: Poem

 

Wild Dandelion

I’d rather be a dandelion:

Wild, stubborn, hard to kill

Like a strong lion,

Yet full of wishes.

Sun-fed, bee-kissed.

Also, unapologetic to feel,

And carried

By the wind

When defined

As always kind.

Wild dandelion is on my mind.

The Secrets, the Bees, and Stories: Poem

 

The Secrets, the Bees, and Stories

Do not have any regrets

If you reveal your secrets

To the wind.

Do not blame the messenger’s link

To reveal them to the trees.

If only bees

Could share and write in ink

Everything they learned

From sweet emotions

And yardwork struggles.

Beautiful

And grateful,

Small but approachable.

They bring sunshine

To the sunny side of life,

Which is sweet and fine.

Some stories do not need a plan.

Some stories wonder

As much as the sparking fire

Reveals the secrets of life.

The Morning Delights: Poem

 The Morning Delights: Poem

Earth delights

To feel your bare feet,

And winds to play

With my curly hair.

The two bald eagle pair off

While flying over the river…

Why not?!

Sun gently caresses the skin.

Me touching you, very kind,

You know what I mean.

The Earth whispers its secrets

To those who choose to listen.

Let’s cherish its voice riddles.

Let’s go on slow walks,

Watching wildlife,

And breathing in and out

Because we are alive.

To Be, or Not to Be: Poem

 To Be, or Not to Be

I.

To be,

Or not to be.

There is no deadline

For becoming who you

Want to be.

There are no due dates

To cross the silver line.

It is fine.

New Year resolution,

Get it!

And do not be late

To the plate.

II.

Shakespeare said,

To be, or not to be.

There is not any fee.

I am going to ask the tree.

It always advises me.

I depend on a buzzing bee.

Asking questions,

It is the main key.
