Haiku for You
And yet here we are
all these years and going strong
God gave her patience

I Don’t Write Poetry
I don’t write for your
reading pleasure
although your reading
and your pleasure
might
give me pleasure
I don’t write for your
recognition of my
skills or talent
nice as it might be to
be recognized
applauded
I don’t write poetry
for you
for anyone
but for my own
well-being
mental, emotional, spiritual
I don’t write poetry
I write
words of life

Window Pane
Deflecting
rain outside
Reflecting
joy inside
the eyes that
stare back at
me
—
Tracy
A single glance
or touch
can bring Heaven down
to earth
and
in that moment I understand
the meaning of
love
