Cicadas Hum

standing tall

eerie buzzing drums

looking left

looking right

my lab won’t budge from the step

while cicadas hum

hills of green

Hill of Tara, Ireland

hills of green

calling to my soul

learn magic

feel magic

visit your ancestors’ land

if only i could

Shadorma poem posted for dVerse's prompt – it’s not easy being green.

Spring Time Please

Winter chills
I can bear no more
Come to me
Spring time please
Impatiently I await
Flowers and sunshine


This concludes my 21 days of poetry (not including all the extra haikus). I will continue the poetry writing, but my time will be limited. The past three weeks have allowed me to develop a creative poetry habit and to explore different forms of poetry. I think my favorite are the Triolet andVillanelle. Perhaps once Spring classes are over I will attempt this again in the summer for a longer period.

Could You Love?

"What if I'm A Mermaid in These Jeans.."

Could you love,

   -a beautiful girl?

Stuck at sea,

   -all her life?

What if I am a mermaid,

 -half woman, half fish?

journey over ice

thru cold snow

for one mate

a match made beneath the stars
