Loss Comes Early


Loss Comes Early 

Loss comes early to me

My neighbors' leaves

are still green.

Mine have turned and gone.

All my blemishes are exposed.

I wish loss didn't come early to me,

but it is my nature.

This is a persona poem.

No Stopping


 No Stopping

This red doesn't stop.

It appears throughout

the tree from

bottom to top.

A signal that

the season of change

is upon us.

Fall Colors


Fall Colors 

Fall colors fall as

reflections on the lake.

They appear and disappear

from day-to-day.

Fall colors fall as

the leaves let go.

Blanket the ground

then the wind comes along.

Fall colors fall until

they all are gone.

Curiosity


Curiosity

Learn to look.

Don't let the details

escape you.

Increase your

knowledge and never lose your

curiosity.

This poem is written in a Spanish form called shadorma.

Strong Enough


Strong Enough

The branch is thin

and appears to be frail.

But, it is strong enough

to support the bird

that sits upon it.

Celebrate!

 


Celebrate!

Don't hesitate.

Don't wait

for a certain date

or to create

something great.

Any time, you are who to celebrate.

Safe Travels

 


Safe Travels

Another year has gone by.

The time has come for me to travel.

Take the same old route.

I give you one more hug

then I start my journey.

Your wish for safe travels

will accompany me all the way.
