Depressed and lonely,
False walls wrap fading comfort.
Windows without sun.

Poems
Haiku, Bookmarks of Life
Friends and memories
Cherished places in my heart,
Like bookmarks of life.

Shivering
Temps below zero,
Morning comes with a shiver.
My dreams kept me warm.

Laughter is Music
Beauty of child’s Play,
With sleds on snow-covered hills.
Laughter is music.

Haiku, Gone Astray
Purposely starving people,
sadly praying for good health.
Leaders gone astray.

My Years Had Less Worries.
The cool breezes of fall,
Chill me just enough,
To make me wish for a jacket,
And make me thankful,
For the sun today.
My memory has colder Octobers
When my years had less worries.
The times of challenges and fun.
Today sees my hope for warmth.
I welcome my days with family,
Sharing closets of future.

Haiku, False Leader
Bone spurs, the big lie,
To start the path of deceit.
Gold coins fool the crows.

Haiku, Sugaring Time
Spout dripping sweet sap.
Snow skirts around maple trunks.
Sweeten my pancakes.

Haiku
Time came to my aid
When I searched without a light.
I awoke in love.

Poem, The Makings of a Memory
Classic notes on the piano,
The rumble of the furnace,
Background steady beat.
Music lessons propel
My daughter’s fingers.
Outside above the city skyline
The full moon takes a bow,
The bright disc shape looks down
As clouds provide curtain calls.
Meanwhile notes fill the air
And my heart fills with warmth
Another memory being made.
