Captain Cactus
Rooted on the hilltop
above the city lights
Captain Cactus surveyed the land
Not much has changed
they still walk around
on two legs
and I on
one

Leaf Lady
Leaf Lady
stepped over
the frozen ground
making her way
to a clearing
she waved
at the Raven

Are you a writer or a reader?
What drives a writer and a reader to go to the same book club?
For the identical reason – because they are the same person!

Sea Dragon
Rising up from the bottom
of the kelp forest,
the sea dragon rides
a thick canopy of kelp
as it moves and stretches
back and forth,
she guards her home
with fiery eyes
and a breath of hot flames.
It is the year of the dragon.

Do writers create longer lists of new years resolutions?
Just wondering seeing as they love to write!
Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays!
December, green trees
blue, red and white sparkling lights
like stars in the night
outline the giant fir
footsteps crunch
on the frozen ground
a switch is turned
darkness,
the night returns

goat on the roof
Looking around
way above the ground
Jake the goat stood on the roof!
How did he get there?
Was he like the cow who jumped over the moon?
Walking around
eating the grass
growing on the roof
Jake knew why
he wasn’t on the ground

Last leaf to fall.....
The last leaf
hanging on
all the others have gone
laying below
a sea of
red and yellow
tree let
me go
