Something Different


Something Different

Try something different.

A new restaurant

A book by an author

whose work you haven't read

Music you've never heard

A road you haven't gone down

It doesn't matter if you

don't like the new experience.

What matters is you were willing

to try something different.

Fly Higher


Fly Higher 

I find my own rhythm.

Move to it consistently.

Set my sights higher.

Even if I don't reach

my ultimate destination,

I'll travel to places

I've never been before.

Spring into Spring


Spring into Spring

I park in the lot at the park.

Grab my camera

and head for the path.

My head is full of ideas

for pictures I will take.

I have a spring in my step

as I notice the changes

that happen in early spring.

I watch a goose sit on its nest

and look forward to what

I may see in May.

This poem was written for Day 8 of the 2023 Poem-A-Day Challenge.

From the Ground Up


From the Ground Up

Blades of grass

Stems on plants

Leaves on the

bushes and trees.

Green returns from

the ground up.

Close Your Eyes


Close Your Eyes

Fantasize!

Let your imagination run free.

Give your mind a little playtime

before you go back to work.

Swimming in the Darkness


Swimming in the Darkness

Swimming in the darkness.

Barely stay afloat.

A spot of light

comes into view,

but just as fast it goes.

Swimming in the darkness.

Start to take some strokes.

Since I've seen the light,

I know where I'll try to go.

Life Changing


 Life Changing

The growth begins.

It takes time.

Storms present challenges.

Not all that start will finish.

Those that do are life changing.
