(This is another poem I wrote when I was a teenager)
To be a friend or not to be
That's the question you ask me
You want me to do something that's wrong
I didn't know confusion . . .

(republished for poetry groups)
Infused into my dream's horizon
are things I ponder upon arising;
Landscapes strange- often eerie
that I visit when I grow weary.

To be picked (PIM)
Yellow flowers grow
Petals of white to be picked
He loves me, loves me not

Which is her? Which is me?
A mirror image for all to see
One is perfect, no thoughts or fears
The other is used to shedding tears
One has never had heartache or pain
The other waits for hurt to gain. . . .

I float, weightless
bouyant
carried inward
on saline waves.
Peacefully my subconcious
observes every . . .

(I'm republishing some of my old poems)
Why is it, everytime
I try to take a drive
My husband acts like it's a crime
And grateful to arrive?

Reflections on a windswept day
gotta go, no time to play.
Busy is the way we live
no time to rest, even less to give.
We no longer stop to smell the rose . . .

In the park
a chubby pink child
rests on a bench
in her mother's arms,
eating long strands of blond hair
in affectionate clumps,
and staring at embracing lovers
who smile back.

I loved to see the days go by
all blue and green and gold
It showed me that the world was mine
and all its glories would unfold.
I loved the blueness of the sky
with clouds all drifting 'round . . .

It is a hot Sunday morning.
My restless eyes move around the chapel
And focus on the old man
Who sits across the aisle
In a homemade wheelchair.
I wonder what he thinks and feels
As he blinks . . .

At the end of my life, I live,
And dream my way back
Through a thousand acres of time
To when I sat small and unalone,
Listening to the whispers
Of unloved maple leaves.
At the end of my life, . . .

Left alone,
locked in the past.
Forgotten friendships
buried,
Never meant to last.
Left alone
Time standing still
Unforeseen,
this bitter pill.
Left alone,
The sky is gray
It wasn't meant . . .

My daughter wrote her first haiku. She's only 10, so I think she did pretty good.

For $7.50
I liberate my psyche.
Popcorn accompanies
my
celluloid fantasies.
My mind . . .

With a moistened fingertip
art emerges
from my granular palette.
My masterpiece
is created by a
moment's . . .

Mommy, why is the sky so blue?
Why do I look like you?
Why are you really tall?
Why am I just so small?
Why can't any dogs talk? . . .

I love my kids, I love my life
Too bad that I don't have a wife.
I'm a woman, it is true
But I have way too much to . . .

We strive for the secret,
Yet never quite reach it.
And the old are still the young
With grayer hair and paper skin,
While the child plays house
In Mama's clothes,
Innocent, yet knowing. . . .

I used to keep my heart
In a woven wicker basket
On a cluttered closet shelf.
It was safe there.
You came along one day
bringing candied sunshine on a stick,
I put it away in a black box
Beneath . . .

A lop-sided moon
Shows its pock-marked face,
Smirking in a sky bereft of cloud.
While winter trees stretch,
Twisting their limbs toward the sky,
Lifting their last blood dried leaves in silence, . . .
