Poetry


  • On my way to the  Children's Garden, I crossed a little bridge besides a wooded pond.
    It was very peaceful there. 
    As I walked through the garden I spotted some pretty little butterflie's and I started trying to get some pictures of them. I managed to catch this one atop a flower.
    This garden had many lovley flowers, but I found this one especially interesting so I took it's pi...

    Sunday, August 23, 2009

    One of the most enjoyable day trips I love to take is to grab my digital camera
    and go to the zoo.  These pictures I took over this past weekend at the
    Point Defiance Zoo.
    Imagine my surprise when I looked at the photo and saw what I
    snapped. I just love this picture.
    Another great picture that happened by accident. I love the expression
    of the girl looking at this moon jelly fish.

  • Grief

    Wednesday, January 28, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    heart cracks, not broken, just cracks
    missing those that are gone, that is all
    feelings, sneaking up are not fair
    leaking out into the day, slipping I fall
    into the gray of the thinking pain
    that washes into my chest, I fear
    there I will stand revealed ,the real me
    that the strength I pretend will disappear
    No, no think happy thoughts
    I am waiting for the healing to begin
    heart cracks, I am told mend wit...

  • ALONG THE WATER FRONT
    Waves smacking the rocks
    Gulls flying high above me
    Drift wood scattered fro
    Foam and weeds  blanket
    Salt the taste of breezy air
    Clouds float high above
    I walk slowly on
    Take the scene in as I go
    Along water's edge
    Boats away from shore
    Sails luffing as they change course
    Then take up the wind
    My dog besides me
    We walk further the beach
    The suns warmth on us
    At a bench we stop
    To r...

  • Dark

    Friday, May 16, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    When I am in the dark, the real dark, not the scare yourself, something may be there dark, the real dark.
    When there are piercings in yourself that take your breath away that come and go like a spark.
    When the spinning wheel in my mind goes off it's spindle; and rolls ribbons of visions into a pile,
    there and there another thought not extinguished by the meds, just foggy in the trial.
    Beautiful R...

  • Dream Catcher

    Saturday, August 8, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    This past week my art therapy group worked on making dream catchers. We used instructions from a website called nativetech.org. The project though it looks intricate was actually not too dificult to pick up. We added beads in the web to symbolize the things we wanted to catch in the web.  Either the bad things we wanted to stay out of our dreams or the good things we wanted to focus our drea...

    Under the wild waves
    There exists  a peaceful place
    Where fish play and eels glide
    And turtles slowly race
    Corals and plants grow
    Below the surface and sun
    Completing a scene of wonder
    Look what my hands have done...

  • This dang thing known as a liver
    no longer is soft or a quiver.
    Seems it got mad
    cause hep c it had
    washed down with stuff
    not good for livers.
    So off to the doctor he hauled it
    and ugly names we now call it.
    New terms we have learned
    full of 50 cent words
    And hospital staff - too familiar.
    We try not to fret
    new friends we have met
    But dang it
    now I can't stomach liver.
