Cycle of Renewal Leaves fall, the world grows cold,Bare branches in the sky, bold.Underfoot, the frost takes hold,Yet beneath, a tale retold.Seeds sleep in the silent earth,Dreaming of their second birth.Winter’s grip, then spring’s soft mirth,Nature’s promise, endless worth.From the soil, green shoots rise,Breaking through with hopeful eyes.Rain’s gentle touch, the sun’s wise skies,Every end…
In the barn, beneath dim light,Two heads turn—double the sight.Morning feeds, a doubled share,Soft moos echo in the air.Eyes that see twice the world,In each gaze, a life unfurled.Four ears twitch at rustling hay,Two mouths chew the day away.Gentle giant, oddly paired,Curious glances, often stared.Not a freak, nor a jest,But a creature, doubly blessed.Under stars…
Cherry-red in morning sun,Sugared lips, season begun.Tiny orbs on tender boughs,Gentle picks, my basket bows.Juice that stains the eager hands,Ripened jewels from summer’s lands.Under leaves, a hidden hue,Rustic charms and flavors true.Not a secret kept beneath,Just sweet bounty to bequeath.Each bite a burst of sunny ray,In the lap of August day.Come taste this simple, merry…
The Cherry Tree Stalwart, the cherry tree stands,A sentinel in spring’s soft hands.Branches cradle dawn’s first light,Adorned in blooms of purest white.Buds burst forth in cheerful throng,To summer’s sweet, swift-moving song.Roots clutch earth, leaves reach sky,In between, life’s moments lie.Birds alight on wooden frames,Chattering in playful games.Beneath the bowers, children play,In cherry shade throughout the…
Cherry Whim In orchards where the cherries grow,Round jewels of red begin to show.Hanging from the branches, swaying,Nature’s candy, sweetly laying.Ripe and rich, a tart surprise,Beneath the broad, blue open skies.Twins on stems, a pair in sync,Blushing siblings at the brink.Sun-kissed skin, to teeth cede,Juice that writes a ruby creed.A fleeting season’s merry bounty,Adorns the…
Strawberry Moon Above, the sky dons her rouge,A blush that night cannot subdue.Silent orb, in June’s sweet bloom,Casting forth her strawberry gloom.Tides swell under crimson light,Crests of waves catch fire at night.Lovers’ glances softly communeUnder the watchful strawberry moon.Fields asleep in silver hues,Draped in midnight’s crimson muse.Fleeting guest, gone too soon,Wishes cast on strawberry moon.She…
Ripe rouge, yet not as sweet,Tartness where sugar should meet.In fields of green, they stand alone,Juice of sorrow, the seeds sown.Tendrils reach, the sun to spurn,Berries blush, with sourness churn.Harvest of the heart, so bittersweet,Fruitful yield, but not a treat.Each bite, a tale of unripe dreams,In every chew, a silent scream.Nature’s rubies, fair in deceit,Promises…
In Praise of Strawberries Sun-kissed rubies on the vine,Tender sweetness, subtly fine.Morning dew on scarlet cheeks,Nature’s blush, the summer seeks.Beneath wide skies, a berry’s burst,In gardens wild, they quench our thirst.Each a gem, with seeds of gold,In gentle hands, they’re softly held.Fragrance ripe, in breezes thrown,Fields of red, now fully grown.Joy to pick, a treat…
Farewell dear mother, your journey begins,Past the veils where the ether thins.Your voice, a melody softly waning,Leaves the air with your love remaining.In your chair, the imprint stays,Echoes of laughter, the sun’s last rays.Teacups rest from stories told,Hands now silent, warmth turned cold.Seasons will turn, the trees will bow,I’ll seek your wisdom, here and now.The…
Before I was a mom, I sailed on dreams,Charted seas in starlit beams.My hours were mine to lose or keep,Nights full, yet filled with sleep.I read books from start to end,Plans stood firm, schedules would bend.Coffee lingered on my tongue,Silent suppers savored, unsung.Shoes were tidy, lined with care,Impromptu outings pulled from thin air.My thoughts were…
