Kissed by the Sun


Kissed by the Sun

The warm spot on my
back fills me with joy.
All around me looks brighter.
I have been kissed by the sun.

Stumble


Stumble

It's easy to stumble.
Miss a step, catch yourself.
Keep going without giving it a thought.

It's easy to stumble.
Stub a toe, twist an ankle.
Work through the pain that lingers.

It's easy to stumble.
Take a tumble, hit the ground.
Start recovery with the next step.

The Green Goes Away


The Green Goes Away

Though the green goes away,
the plant still stands.
It remains rooted in the ground.

The stems still respond
to the touch of the wind
and welcome the birds and butterflies.

Time to Go


Time to Go

It's time for
me to go.
I know you think
it is too soon.
Won't it always
be for you?
I leave lessons
learned and love.
I also take
them with me.

Dark Beauty


Dark Beauty

The beauty of the primrose
reaches its peak during darkness not light.
Blooms spend nights giving shows.

This form is the englyn byr cwca.

Memories Bloom


Memories Bloom

The orange blossoms
have special meaning to me.
They bring back thoughts of
family and a past home.
Memories bloom at first sight.

The form of this poem is a waka.

Swim Away


Swim Away

Swim away from the past.
Swim away from it fast.

Don't reflect anymore.
Leave it all on the shore.

Fill the Sky


Fill the Sky

Blossoms sitting way up high.
Suddenly, they caught my eye.
White stood out against the blue,
and it seemed to fill the sky.


This is a Welsh form called Englyn Cyrch.
