THE POET RESIDES INSIDE

The poet resides in the heart of a man
and in the heart of a woman,
even in flowers
whether they be
male or female or both.

CHRISTMAS COMES TWICE A YEAR

Christmas comes twice a year
where reindeer dance a
bundle of cheer…
where raindrops glisten
all snowy and white
and
kids ‘n adults
play long into the night.

There is a Christmas there
in July,
and one in December, too!

Don’t you wish
that place could be
a place for me and you,
Too!

THE SWING & THE SKY
The swing sings songs
of leaves dancing
skies blue before
awakening.

THE GIFT

The gift
Is the beginning of the present

Open it
And see

Yourself
