my girl with the blue-green eyes
I love you
and your 2am “I love you” hugs
and holding hands in theaters
and laughing at your puns
and walking in Old Town while you squeak
and holding Fish while you get ready
I’m glad we’ve had a year
let’s have more
animal
Poem #557
snail crawls up tire
car starts up
car moves
snail is crushed
Poem #556
Ms. Ann Marie Eager
wears a dress in the forest
leading her doe on animal trails
they come across a chest
Ms. Eager drags it back home
and carefully pries off the hinges
inside is treasure beyond imagination
Ms. Eager smiles at her doe
“You’re thinking what I’m thinking?”
and they bury it in the forest
she draws a map
scatters the pieces
and never looks for it again
Poem #553
cat stretches out
watches the electronic toy
spin the string
cat is fascinated
but half-heartedly bats
she’s still a cat after all
Poem #551
sing little bird
fly free
soar through the sky
touch the water
bask in the sun
exist
Poem #547
caught a Spearow
at Comic Con
on an iPhone
Poem #545
spotted cat on bookshelf
stares at the blinds
falls asleep quickly
Poem #543
my lover is a trout
both bold and shy
as the temperature changes
Poem #542
crystal pool blue water
three dogs playing around
a marvelous day in the sun
Poem #538
green jungle in mesh box
Fish climbs the fake leaves
delights in her new habitat
and munches on meal worms
