family in grief

Dad and me on the dunes

sitting around in

baseball caps and bolo ties

family in grief

even in sadness

nothing stops us from eating

shall we start dinner?

a soul has been freed

who will be missed by many

such lucky angels

art in the city -pt 3

escaping the frame
step out of limitations
create your own dream

fibers spiral in
a swirl of brilliant color
infinity now

water is sacred
millions are without it
what a crying shame

post peak oil options
plan B town says let's make do
make our own music

invasive species
they're unwanted, unwelcome
fish in our great lakes

art in the city - pt 2

city of women
celebrating the unique
fascinated me

she sparkles and awes
small tiles of bright glass glitter
goddess of the surf

temporary art
creativity happens
without attachment

can a bronze bird fly?
taking flight against all odds
I am lifted too

when pigs fly downtown
sculpture, paintings and much more
city full of art

maples all ablaze!
they know how to do color
while transforming trash

guardian in bronze
your scales are strong enough that
this art can be touched

opposing viewpoints
are are shadowed against the wall
who will back down first?

narrow hot pursuit

once upon a time
my half-way house of wisdom
tumbled to the ground

narrow, hot pursuit
the tight rope walk is simple
illusions dissolved

empty tubes and pots
false rainbow melts harmlessly
was it ever there?

a question of make up

Rabbit Write has begun a No Make-up Week.....

toxic chemicals
disguised as skin enhancements
why poison your face?

an unadorned face
reveals true beauty inside
why cover it up?

come out from hiding
behind the grand false palette
why do we fear truth?

little stories

perfect spider web
conflicts with removing the
air conditioner

lying on my back
three layers of flight circle
dragons, gulls & hawks

television glows
exuding late night humor
the cat and I laugh
