Needed

my sweet peas
bloom on the widow’s side
where they’re needed

Ego

parrot
my alter ego
tells me I’m beautiful
I live above it

Comfort

soldier’s troubled mind
stained by bloody scenes
ah! comfort of song birds

Love of the Prairie #5

Grass Land

short-grass prairie
close-cropped by herds of buffalo
broken by the plough

Love of the Prairie #3

The Slough

cat-tails rustling
in the frozen slough
collect drifting snow
spilling their hearts out
to an oblivious wind

Love of the Prairie — 2

Anchored

planted here
in this dry land—my roots go deep
anchored to the sun

Love This Land!

if I can carry
the prairie in my heart
I can go anywhere

Too Refined

in the road gravel
a smooth round pebble glistens
too refined to be there

Royal Garb

all the lilac trees
out to greet the morning sun
in royal dresses

Friendly Stars

Starsoh, these friendly stars!
do you wonder what name
God has given each one?

(“He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.” — Psalm 147:4)
