POEMS

BLISS
rolling hills,
snowy slopes,
elderly oaks,
long prairie grasses
sneak through the snow.
animal prints
mess its decor.
winds swirl,
sun caresses,
the bends and curves,
pink orange and purple
smear the horizon.
some winter resort,
no my home!


TREASURES
brown eyes,
ornery smiles,
dimpled cheeks,
hair tousled from sleep.
backpacks flying,
shoe tying,
bus waiting,
kiss before "they" see.
bickering mouths,
playful teases,
small battles,
chases around the house.
sweet kisses,
snuggle requests,
bedtime rituals,
lay with me please.
treasured memories
a mother's world.
