Peaceful Silence (a cinquain)

Stillness,
the crickets' song
blending with the cool breeze,
carried across the late August
evening.

Mirror (a cinquain)

Mirrors;
Clear, large.
Viewing, reflecting, revealing.
Look into the glass.
Truth.

To My Angel (a tanka)

You always guide me
through rough obstacles, gently
encouraging me
when feeling nervous walking
the path. I call on you now.

Thankful (a cinquain)

Thankful
for treasured friends
and close family members,
a strong balance to seemingly

Waning Farewell (a tanka)

I say goodbye to
old friends as the sturgeon moon
wanes. I have learned much
from their tales, yet these fine threads
eventually meet their end.

Clear Night (a haiku)

A lovely evening,
nearly full moon shining high,
holding dear treasures.

Dreaming

I dream of your
warm touch against
my skin,

You and I
side by side
near the shoreline,

The waves
cascading
over our feet.

I dream of
long, moonlit
walks,

Your hand
laced through
mine,

Our voice soft
as we speak of
our desires

While bathing
in the lunar
glow.

Web of Life (a cinquain)

The web
of life is spun
gently, woven with a
patient hand so one can trace the
fine threads.

Change (a cinquain)

Missing
a once dear friend.
Change effects daily life,
going through routines no longer
the same.

Balance (a cinquain)

Quiet
evening, cool breeze
tempering humid skies
as I plan my next poetic
event.

A joyous day with

Soft Words (a cinquain)

Your soft
words glide across
my skin like a paintbrush,
coating my body with loving,
skilled strokes.

Sharing my accomplishments with
others.
