Wish for Peace
The fragile beauty of the dandelion
In my hand, whose grip on land
Dares you to eradicate its presence in Zion
As it spreads through the wish for peace to lend
A hand to those in need of a blend
Of peace in their days of suffering
Without end.
Wish for peace for them to send
Their children to schools
With filled bellies of fresh food
Sprinkled with life giving water that drools
In honor of a wish for peace that stood
On the doorstep waiting, waiting
Patiently for humanity’s response
To help save those whose beliefs, never straying,
Empowers their wish for peace
For a new generation without
The need to revisit the trauma of today’s
Dire escalations of genocides in a bout
Of cataclysmic fear whose only wish is for peace.

Flighty Hearts
Love our paper hearts
Easy to tear,
but cuts
Like a bear.
Its unique shape
Lends to despair,
When it broke
By your hand and air.
Its unique shape
Rises into fullness,
Then dips in face
Of falsehoods that pierce…
Look into its shape
That seems divided
Into yay and nay, a cape
Of vascillation that cried,
Its tear wails
Till eye sight goes blind
With too many choices
And decisions that bind.
Oh ye who have
A paper heart,
Let its love
Blind you and never cut.

Intertwined
The vanda blue orchid adorns silver,
Long, wavy hair that frames her
Violet hued eyes, button nose,
And glistening rosy lips that pause
With each end note of the violin’s
Hearty tune, that attracts butterflies,
Transparent to royal purple hues,
Flitting around her feet in sublime harmonies
With the birds that soar higher,
As though being strummed better
Through the violin’s strings
That are taut in their place that brings
Wonder and symphony of animal
And human lives intertwined in a primal
Need for survival with a core
Of compassion that’s human and not a bore.

(Poem from my book, PerfectlyFlawedpoetryforchange)
Man’s role in society today is changing and so are the rules that govern ‘his’ actions.
What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?
I hate clearing and cleaning the breakfast/ lunch/ dinner table as it’s always in use, and if each person leaves 1 object behind, that makes for 5 things to pit back!!!!
Another thing I hate is ironing. I know it’s not always a daily routine thing, but I delay it until I have a huge pile I want to continue to ignore!

What have you been working on?
I’ve been working on submitting my new poetry book to 2 sites, hoping one will pick it up. It’s harder than you think it is, as I already have the poetry written. However, the problem is the organization of the poems under 3 themes, which will make it more manageable. I’m struggling too with the time I need to pit into it, knowing I have a deadline and balancing my duties and work. I miss the simplicity of just writing for myself. On the other hand, I feel like I’ve grown beyond that, since I have things to share with the world.
Above is the link to my first collection of poems, in the book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change, that’s on the finalist list for the Canadian Book Club Awards. Another poem: Oh Woman, was published a week ago in ArLiJo, Gival press, another is published in Unseal Your Power:

Fall has begun, and yet orchids continue to burgeon, producing buds that turn into astounding multi-colored flowers! If that isn’t a miracle of nature, I don’t know what it would be.
Although I love each season, for they each provide their own beauty, still, fall is a favorite of mine. The grey skies, the rain, the strong winds all create an ambiance for reading and creating!
