September Haiku
September suns rays
slice across verdant gardens.
Cold nights chill my toes.
—
Summer emptied.
I use days up as they come.
Silk breeze on my thigh.
—
Kitchen counter full.
Fall bounty clogs big pots.
Earth oars down the clock.
—
Rake dreams with windows open.
Kaleidescope trees.
Leaves need many big bags filled.
—
Pace this day’s flight with tastes
of Summer’s ripe bounty.
Pesto’s delight greens my mouth.
—
Morning mist weighs down dawn
Between Summer and Fall.
Coffee tastes better in cold weather.

Ache
Ache in my chest.
Sometimes
he well up
through
my
neck,
into my head
and out my eyes.
He tears down my face
soft and wet, salty
in my mouth
in my mind
in my heart.
A Simple Gift
Let it Out!
Let a smile overcome you-
a simple gift
which heals deeply
and welcomes another in return.
Tell a story of
your Life with the meaning you give it.
Let it out!
Open the gushing faucet
and savor the Joyful Child within you.

Incandescent Nectar
Anybody read German? When Ralf and I lived together, he transtlated this poem of mine so we could print out cards for both our American and German friends. The photo is one i took of roses he gave me, which I thought looked stunning against the snow.
This poem was inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke’s Sonnets to Orpheus. His mystical style touched me deeply. I read a version which had the German and English side by side. So I picked up a little German, too.
