The wind screams
Like a thousand
B rea kin g
Hearts
Then
slows
to whisper and whimper
and waltz
Through the leaves
Like a sparrow
With nary a fear
Or care
Then dares itself to make just
Twice the fuss
Thrice the fuss
HOWL

I'm Happy When

The water suddenly envelopes me
sPLaSh
s p u t t e r
dive
The blue ripples
Of my thunderous
Disruption
Of peaceful waters
Soon will
Catch the light???
The dancing
And prancing
Modern art
Of the ages
A Sh ift I ng
Checkerboard
For the
Past
Present
Future

I'm Happy When

The sun wearily
drops
>From view
As the day closes
her sky blue eyes
And s l o w l y
Day dissolves to night
>From fresh
And blue
And green
To orange
And pink
And
black
And
Under the blanket of a starry night
I am happy.
