kindred spirits
As children and teens they were very close sisters. And then they grew up and life happened. Now they are rebuilding anew since their mother passed filling the gap despite the physical distance between them. Certainly, their mother has a hand in this…
on a park bench
a cool breeze kisses her face
last minute blossoms
a woman walks her dog
butterfly lands on her cheek
both women smile
knowingly
Mom’s paid a visit

Since today is World Suicide Prevention Day, my writing today may attempt to spread this awareness.
sunflowers
swaying
posing like a star
sunflowers
casting shadows
shading old wounds
swaying
seeking the light
from dark places
posing like a star
yet, hangs on to dear life
falling leaves

yesterday’s secrets (troiku)
standing by her mate,
yesterday’s secrets scream
caked with Maybelline
standing by her mate
poised
submissive
yesterday’s secrets scream
not a soul can hear
driving her insane
caked with Maybelline
years of practice
hiding his fury

safe passage
savouring nature (troibun)
Nearing the end of summer is such a busy and pleasant time of year. Fruits are still plentiful at the farmer’s market, we can smell the peaches, plums and first pickings from the apple orchard. Vegetables are in abundance and it is a time to make homemade ketchup, pickled beets and bread and butter pickles. Kitchens are filled with aromas and tiny hands reaching for a spoon to savour the fruits of our mother’s and grandmother’s labour.

midsummer morn
white puffs dancing in circles
moon in the sky
midsummer morn
lazy haze slowly lifting
driving east
white puffs dancing in circles
for a night owl like me
makes me dizzy
moon in the sky
even in light of day
beams at me

guarding the cornfield (troiku)
A troiku
perched on his post
overseeing the cornfield
cawing his presence
perched on his post
watching the sun rise slowly
behind the old barn
overseeing the cornfield
scurrying unnoticed
mice squeal with delight
cawing his presence
even the old scarecrow
stands at attention

marked with age spots
the old woman holds out a cup
with gnarled fingers
marked with age spots
having lived a long life
beauty rewritten
the old woman holds out a cup
invisible to society
people hurry by
with gnarled fingers
shelled nuts from her secret stash
feeds the squirrels
