A lonely black swan
strict elegance and power
she comes back to life
Ballerina blurs in black
a human and a swan morph

Naughty Wind
mercurial wind
the waste bins begin to dance
the cat’s fur is wild
bracing for an icy blast
hugging the protesting cat
Bee and Flower
The bee comes closer
Stinging barb ready to shoot
Flower distraction
Bee buns stuck in the flower
Buzzing flower and pollen
A Quiet Resilience
dusting off the hurt
washing away the sadness
drying salty tears
you, a quiet resilience
walking with courage and love
Surprise Brownies
A dancing teapot
The cat speaks about a fly
A haze moves around
The brownies were magical
Floating with a tea cosy
Silent Words
Keeping the silence
Silent controversial words
Hiding all my words
Cracks appear in the silence
Words begin to pour away
The Fence
A straight division
Once we had hugs and kisses
Now pillows divide
When did we put up the fence?
Lamenting what we once had
Confused Seasons & Hygge
Winter has found us
Autumn took a vacation
for a hint of Spring
A wind moves from off the snow
Hygge weekends with you and books
A Song
We speak in flowers
We gaze on life through art
We hear the rustle
of a song beginning to
play from a place we forgot
Jar of our Love
the jar of our love
when we met, the lid was sealed
then wheezing began
one day the lid blew skyward
you looked pale; I looked startled
